What it does

Motion Showreel is an agent skill from nateherkai/hyperframes-student-kit. Design and build a 10-30 second motion-design showreel or brand reel in the style of Nate's Opus 5.5 "CLAUDE / MOTION REEL": one brand motif transformed through labeled craft chapters, a persistent HUD, cuts locked to a 120-130 BPM grid, a sub-second flurry, and a held logo lockup that answers the opening. Use when asked for a showreel, sizzle reel, brand reel, motion reel, "a reel like the Opus one", "show off motion design for <brand", a 15-second brand film cut to music, or to study why a reference reel works…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/chapter-library.md`, `references/reference-breakdown.md` and `templates/storyboard.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Motion graphics. It works with HeyGen. The repository describes itself as: Edit videos, reels, and YouTube Shorts with Codex or Claude Code. 14 skills, transcript-driven cuts, storytelling, 406 motion-graphics cards, and HyperFrames templates.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked for a showreel
  • A reel like the Opus one
  • Show off motion design for <brand
  • A 15-second brand film cut to music

Example prompts

  • “s Opus 5.5”
  • “a reel like the Opus one”
  • “show off motion design for <brand”
  • “/motion-showreel”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Study the reference (when one is given)
  2. Brand intake: BRAND.md
  3. Chapter map: STORYBOARD.md
  4. Music and the beat grid
  5. SFX and the mix
  6. Assets
  7. Build (HyperFrames)
  8. Verify before calling it done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d30152. 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

    Ships 7 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • npm
    • npx
    • ffmpeg

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and 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

Motion Showreel loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,468 words (~2,774 tokens).

“A showreel promises that every frame was a decision. This skill turns that into a repeatable build: pick one motif, push it through six or seven craft chapters that each look nothing alike, cut on the beat, and end on…”
