What it does

Vid Sizzle Reel is an agent skill from Varnan-Tech/opendirectory. Generates a high-energy sizzle reel or hype video (MP4) from brand assets and key messages. Fast-paced montage format with dynamic cuts, bold text overlays, and optional music. 4-section structure: Cold Open, Build, Peak, Land. 4 tone presets. Beat-sync cuts when music is provided. Built on HyperFrames (GSAP + headless Chromium + FFmpeg). Trigger when user says "sizzle reel", "hype video", "highlight reel", "launch hype", "conference opener", "event promo video", "investor pitch video", or "brand video montage".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/cut-patterns.md` and `references/tone-presets.md`). Compatibility notes: ["claude-code","gemini-cli","github-copilot"]

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production, Motion graphics and Web animation and motion. It works with HeyGen, GSAP and FFmpeg. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent Skills built for Founders who hate Marketing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says sizzle reel
  • Conference opener
  • Event promo video
  • Investor pitch video

Example prompts

  • “sizzle reel”
  • “hype video”
  • “highlight reel”
  • “/vid-sizzle-reel”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): ["claude-code","gemini-cli","github-copilot"]

Workflow steps

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

  1. Intake
  2. Install HyperFrames
  3. Internal Architecture (never shown to user)
  4. HyperFrames HTML Composition
  5. Self-QA (fix every failure before Step 6)
  6. Lint, Render, Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62e437a. 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
    • node
    • ffmpeg

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net

    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.

  • Compatibility

    ["claude-code","gemini-cli","github-copilot"]

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Vid Sizzle Reel loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.8k

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.

vid-sizzle-reel

Generates a high-energy sizzle reel or hype video from brand assets and key messages. Pipeline: HyperFrames HTML composition (GSAP timelines) → headless Chromium → FFmpeg H.264 MP4. No Runway. No Pika. No AI video APIs. Zero runtime cost beyond Node.js + FFmpeg.

Differentiation from vid-product-launch:

  • vid-product-launch tells a narrative story — one earned reveal, five sections, tension arc
  • vid-sizzle-reel creates energy and excitement — fast cuts, music-first, no single story beat

Critical Rules (read before every generation)

  1. Write the key messages yourself — or ask the user to write them. These are the exact phrases that appear on screen. "AI will figure it out" produces filler. 3-5 sharp lines is the entire content of a sizzle reel.

  2. Brand name appears ONLY in the Land section. Cold Open and Build create tension without naming the brand. The Land section is the payoff.

  3. Declare the rhythm pattern in a comment at the top of the script before writing any HTML. Format: // RHYTHM: flash-sequence | Cold[0-5s]: stat | Build[5-40s]: msg(1.5s)|flash|... | Peak[40-55s]: ... | Land[55-60s]: logo+CTA. Every timing decision checks against this.

  4. Build end-state layout in CSS first — no GSAP yet. Position every element at its most-visible moment in static CSS. Then add GSAP entrances with gsap.from() and exits with gsap.to(). Never position at animated start state.

  5. class="clip" on every timed element. Required by HyperFrames. Without it, the element is invisible to the player.

  6. data-start, data-duration, data-track-index on every clip. No exceptions. Same-track clips cannot overlap — use different track indices.

  7. No Math.random(). HyperFrames requires deterministic compositions. Use seeded PRNG (mulberry32) for any pseudo-random values.

  8. All GSAP timelines start { paused: true } and register to window.__timelines["comp-id"]. The HyperFrames player controls playback — never call tl.play().

  9. Never position: absolute on .scene-content containers. Use width:100%; height:100%; padding:Npx; display:flex. Reserve position:absolute for decorative elements only.

  10. Music: separate <audio> element with data-track-index. Video must be muted playsinline. Never put audio in a <video> element.

  11. Read references/cut-patterns.md AND references/tone-presets.md before generating any HTML.

  12. Never dump HTML in chat. Save to file. Show summary only.

Step 1: Intake

Required:

  • key_messages — 3-5 punchy lines to flash on screen (user must write these)

Optional parameters and defaults:

ParameterDefaultDescription
brand_assetsnoneLogo URL/path, brand colors (hex), key screenshots
toneenergeticenergetic / cinematic / emotional / professional
musicnoneFile path, or BPM/genre string (e.g. "128bpm electronic")
duration6030 / 60 / 90 seconds
aspect_ratio9:169:16 (1080x1920) / 16:9 (1920x1080)
cut_styleautofast (1-2s) / cinematic (3-5s) — auto derives from tone
end_cardautoLogo + tagline + CTA URL for Land section

cut_style auto-defaults: energetic → fast; professional → fast (2s); cinematic → cinematic; emotional → mixed

If key_messages is missing, ask exactly:

"To generate the sizzle reel, I need your key messages — the exact phrases that will flash on screen. Give me 3-5 punchy lines. These are the most important thing you're writing for this video.

Examples: 'Used by 500+ growth teams' / 'From days to minutes' / 'Works with Claude, Codex, Gemini'

Also useful: tone (energetic/cinematic/emotional/professional), duration (30/60/90s), any brand colors or logo URL."

If key_messages are present → proceed to Step 2 immediately.

Step 2: Install HyperFrames

Install HyperFrames skills (first time only — skip if already installed):

bash
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes

Verify environment:

bash
node --version   # must be >= 22
ffmpeg -version  # must be present

Scaffold the project:

bash
npx hyperframes init sizzle-[slug] --example kinetic-type --non-interactive
cd sizzle-[slug]

Slug: kebab-case from end_card brand name or first key_message, max 25 chars.

Step 3: Internal Architecture (never shown to user)

1. Derive cut-point timing from duration + cut_style:

Section30s60s90s
Cold Open0-5s0-5s0-8s
Build5-25s5-40s8-65s
Peak25-28s40-55s65-80s
Land28-30s55-60s80-90s

Convert every boundary to milliseconds. Calculate per-scene duration from cut_style:

  • fast: 1.2s-1.8s per message (use 1.5s default)
  • cinematic: 3.5s-5.0s per message (use 4.0s default)
  • mixed: 2.0s-4.0s varying by section energy

2. Map key_messages to scenes:

  • Cold Open (1 scene): one impact stat or question — NO brand name, builds intrigue
  • Build: one scene per key_message
  • Peak: repeat the strongest message at double scale, or combine 2 messages in rapid flash
  • Land: brand name + tagline + CTA URL

3. Detect beat sync if music provided:

bash
npx hyperframes tts --analyze-beats [music-file]

If unavailable, calculate from BPM: beat_ms = 60000 / BPM. Align cuts to every 2nd beat.

4. Select tone preset — read references/tone-presets.md for CSS tokens.

5. Declare rhythm pattern — write comment at top of script:

js
// RHYTHM: flash-sequence
// Cold Open [0-5000ms]: stat
// Build [5000-40000ms]: msg-1(1500ms)|flash|msg-2(1500ms)|flash|msg-3(1500ms)|flash|msg-4(1500ms)|flash|build-accum(10000ms)
// Peak [40000-55000ms]: msg-strongest(1200ms)|flash|msg-2nd(1200ms)|flash|HOLD(5600ms)
// Land [55000-60000ms]: logo+tagline+cta

6. Determine pixel dimensions:

  • 9:16 → W=1080, H=1920 (default — Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
  • 16:9 → W=1920, H=1080

Design quality rules:

  • Cold open stat: ≥160px font size for 16:9, ≥100px for 9:16
  • Key messages: ≥80px font size — readable at a glance
  • Land section brand name: ≥120px for 16:9
  • All colors from preset token variables — no free hex except var(--accent) literal hex inside canvas fillStyle
  • scene-content always uses padding + flex — never position:absolute on content container
  • class="clip" on every element with data-start

Step 5: Self-QA (fix every failure before Step 6)

Content:

  • key_messages — each phrase appears exactly once, no duplicates
  • Brand name appears ONLY in Land section (not cold open, not build, not peak)
  • Cold open contains NO brand name and NO product name — only stat or impact phrase
  • Land section has: brand name + tagline + CTA URL (three elements minimum)
  • end_card CTA URL present on final frame

HyperFrames contract:

  • class="clip" on every element with data-start
  • data-start, data-duration, data-track-index on every clip
  • data-composition-id on the root composition div
  • window.__timelines["sizzle-[slug]"] = tl registered
  • All timelines start { paused: true }
  • No Math.random() — seeded PRNG only
  • No tl.play() or tl.resume() calls

GSAP / Layout:

  • gsap.from() for all entrances (FROM offscreen TO CSS position)
  • gsap.to() for all exits (FROM CSS position TO offscreen)
  • No position:absolute on .scene-content containers
  • Rhythm pattern declared in comment at top of script

Cut timing:

  • fast tone: average cut duration ≤ 2.0s
  • cinematic tone: average cut duration ≥ 3.0s
  • Cut flash fires at every cut boundary for energetic tone (60ms, opacity 0→1→0)
  • Same-track clips do NOT overlap (check all data-track-index groupings)

SFX:

  • window.__sfxTimeline present and placed before timeline registration
  • word-hit event per key message
  • whoosh at Build → Peak transition boundary
  • cta-chime at Land start
  • No SFX fires before 500ms

Step 6: Lint, Render, Output

bash
npx hyperframes lint
npx hyperframes inspect --json

Fix all lint errors. Fix all inspect errors (text overflow, clip escaping containers). Then render:

bash
npx hyperframes render --output sizzle/[slug]/sizzle-reel.mp4

Output:

## Sizzle Reel: [brand name from end_card]
Tone: [tone] | Duration: [N]s | Cut style: [cut_style] | Aspect: [ratio]
Rhythm: [declared pattern]

Sections
  Cold Open [0-Ns]:  [impact stat or phrase]
  Build     [N-Ns]:  [N key messages listed]
  Peak      [N-Ns]:  [strongest message at max scale]
  Land      [N-Ns]:  [brand name] + "[tagline]" + [CTA URL]

Files
  Source: sizzle/[slug]/index.html
  Output: sizzle/[slug]/sizzle-reel.mp4

SFX Timeline (embed in every composition)

The same FFmpeg-synthesized SFX system as vid-product-launch. Place window.__sfxTimeline immediately before the GSAP timeline registration.

SFX type reference for sizzle reel:

TypeSoundDurationPlacement
word-hitSub punch (50Hz) + transient click (2.2kHz) + noise burst180msOne per key_message scene start
whooshTwo-band noise sweep (1.1kHz body + 4-8kHz air)700msAt Build → Peak boundary
cta-chimeA major chord (440+554+659+880Hz) + aecho bell shimmer1.2sExactly at Land start
js
window.__sfxTimeline = [
  // one word-hit per key_message (computed from scene start times)
  { ms: MSG_1_START_MS,           sfx: 'word-hit',   vol: 0.50 },
  { ms: MSG_2_START_MS,           sfx: 'word-hit',   vol: 0.50 },
  { ms: MSG_3_START_MS,           sfx: 'word-hit',   vol: 0.50 },
  // ... repeat for each message
  { ms: PEAK_START_MS - 700,      sfx: 'whoosh',     vol: 0.55 },
  { ms: LAND_START_MS,            sfx: 'cta-chime',  vol: 0.65 },
];

Compute all ms values from declared section timing constants. Never hardcode.

Prompt Tips (show when user asks for guidance)

"Write the key messages yourself. They are the entire content of this video. 3 sharp lines beats 10 vague ones every time."

"Choose music before choosing visuals. The BPM determines the cut style. The cut style determines every timing decision."

"Cold open: one number. Not a sentence, not a tagline — one specific, surprising number. It earns 5 seconds of attention."

"The Land section is not a credits page. Logo + one line + one URL. Anything more dilutes the CTA."

"Match tone to channel. Energetic for social and Product Hunt. Cinematic for B2C premium and investor decks. Professional for enterprise conferences. Emotional for crowdfunding."

Good:

Sizzle reel, 60 seconds. Tone: energetic. Key messages: ['AI skills, ready to install' /
'52+ skills across GTM, content, research' / 'Works with Claude, Codex, Gemini' /
'Zero setup. Instant value.']. Music: 128bpm electronic. Cut style: fast.
End card: OpenDirectory + 'AI skills, ready to install' + 'opendirectory.dev'. Aspect: 9:16.
