What it does

Hyperframes CLI is an agent skill from cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills. HyperFrames CLI dev loop — project scaffolding, validation (lint/inspect), browser preview with live reload, MP4/WebM rendering, and environment troubleshooting (doctor, browser, info, upgrade). Use when running any npx hyperframes command or troubleshooting the build/render environment. For composition authoring see the hyperframes skill; for asset preprocessing (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Motion graphics, Linting and formatting and Project scaffolding. It works with HeyGen. The repository describes itself as: A curated registry of reusable Mercury Agent, Open Claw or Hermes Agent skills designed for real developer workflows, persistent memory, and token-efficient execution. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running any npx hyperframes command
  • Troubleshooting the build/render environment

Example prompts

  • “Use the hyperframes-cli skill to hyperframe CLI dev loop — project scaffolding, validation (lint/inspect), browser preview with live reload…”
  • “/hyperframes-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Scaffold — npx hyperframes init my-video
  2. Write — author HTML composition (see the hyperframes skill)
  3. Lint — npx hyperframes lint
  4. Visual inspect — npx hyperframes inspect
  5. Preview — npx hyperframes preview
  6. Render — npx hyperframes render

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30392fb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hyperframes CLI loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

HyperFrames CLI — Dev Loop

Everything runs through npx hyperframes. Requires Node.js >= 22 and FFmpeg.

Workflow

  1. Scaffold — npx hyperframes init my-video
  2. Write — author HTML composition (see the hyperframes skill)
  3. Lint — npx hyperframes lint
  4. Visual inspect — npx hyperframes inspect
  5. Preview — npx hyperframes preview
  6. Render — npx hyperframes render

Lint and inspect before preview. Render before delivery.


Scaffolding

bash
npx hyperframes init my-video                        # interactive wizard
npx hyperframes init my-video --example warm-grain   # pick a template
npx hyperframes init my-video --video clip.mp4        # with video file
npx hyperframes init my-video --audio track.mp3       # with audio file
npx hyperframes init my-video --example blank --tailwind # with Tailwind v4
npx hyperframes init my-video --non-interactive       # skip prompts (CI/agents)

Templates: blank, warm-grain, play-mode, swiss-grid, vignelli, decision-tree, kinetic-type, product-promo, nyt-graph

init creates the right file structure, copies media, transcribes audio with Whisper, and installs AI coding skills. Use it instead of creating files by hand.


Linting

bash
npx hyperframes lint                  # current directory
npx hyperframes lint ./my-project     # specific project
npx hyperframes lint --verbose        # info-level findings
npx hyperframes lint --json           # machine-readable

Lints index.html and all files in compositions/. Reports errors (must fix), warnings (should fix), and info (with --verbose).


Visual Inspect

bash
npx hyperframes inspect                 # inspect layout over the timeline
npx hyperframes inspect ./my-project    # specific project
npx hyperframes inspect --json          # agent-readable findings
npx hyperframes inspect --samples 15    # denser timeline sweep
npx hyperframes inspect --at 1.5,4,7.25 # explicit hero-frame timestamps

Reports:

  • Text extending outside visual containers/bubbles
  • Text clipped by fixed-width/fixed-height boxes
  • Text extending outside the composition canvas
  • Children escaping clipping containers

Error: must fix before rendering. Warning: agent review. Run with --strict to fail on warnings too.

Mark elements with data-layout-allow-overflow (intentional entrance/exit overflow) or data-layout-ignore (decorative elements).


Previewing

bash
npx hyperframes preview                   # serve current directory
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567       # custom port (default 3002)

Hot-reloads on file changes. Opens the Studio in browser automatically.

When handing a project back, use the Studio URL: http://localhost:<port>/#project/<project-name>


Rendering

bash
npx hyperframes render                                # standard MP4
npx hyperframes render --output final.mp4             # named output
npx hyperframes render --quality draft                # fast iteration
npx hyperframes render --fps 60 --quality high        # final delivery
npx hyperframes render --format webm                  # transparent WebM
npx hyperframes render --docker                       # byte-identical
FlagOptionsDefaultNotes
--outputpathrenders/name_timestamp.mp4Output path
--fps24, 30, 603060fps doubles render time
--qualitydraft, standard, highstandarddraft for iterating
--formatmp4, webmmp4WebM supports transparency
--workers1-8 or autoautoEach spawns Chrome

--strictflagoffFail on lint errors
--strict-allflagoffFail on errors AND warnings
--variablesJSON object—Override composition variables
--variables-filepath—JSON file with variables
--strict-variablesflagoffFail on undeclared keys

Quality guidance: draft while iterating, standard for review, high for final delivery.


Troubleshooting

bash
npx hyperframes doctor       # check environment (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node, memory)
npx hyperframes browser      # manage bundled Chrome
npx hyperframes info         # version and environment details
npx hyperframes upgrade      # check for updates

Run doctor first if rendering fails.


Other Commands

bash
npx hyperframes compositions   # list compositions in project
npx hyperframes docs           # open documentation
npx hyperframes benchmark .    # benchmark render performance
