Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (crossfades, wipes, reveals, shader transitions). Covers composition authoring, timing, media, and the full video production workflow. For dev-loop CLI commands (init, lint, inspect, preview, render) see the hyperframes-cli skill; for asset preprocessing commands (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

Capture a website and create a HyperFrames video from it. Use when: (1) a user provides a URL and wants a video, (2) someone says "capture this site", "turn this into a video", "make a promo from my site", (3) the user wants a social ad, product tour, or any video based on an existing website, (4) the user shares a link and asks for any kind of video content. Even if the user just pastes a URL — this is the skill to use.

Encodes Balaji Chippada's on-camera voice — direct address (no "guys"), Telugu delivery with English technical terms, signature phrases ("no black box", "step by step", "real time, in production"), and the anti-pattern blocklist. Use when writing any script line that will be spoken on camera, captioned, or burned into a video.

Balaji Chippada's canon of reusable personal stories (NIT EEE, Infosys mainframes, Warner Bros / Deutsche Telekom / Swiss telecom journey, Netherlands relocation, after-full-time-job hustle). Use when an opener, mid-video bridge, or close needs a personal anecdote. Enforces cooldown rules so no story gets stale.

Locks the two-system visual brand for Balaji Chippada's channel — the editorial Roadmap-2026 site palette (cream + rust + teal + serif italic) and the high-CTR YouTube thumbnail style (black bg + circuit pattern + yellow knockout text + brown bomber jacket subject + Telugu accent badge). Use when designing slides, lower-thirds, sketchbook pages, brochures, GitHub READMEs, or thumbnails.

Treats data.js (the 9-phase Roadmap-2026 curriculum) as the single source of truth for every video. Enforces phase mapping, prerequisite checks, and prevents teaching advanced concepts before foundations. Use when planning any video, deciding video order, or auditing whether a video belongs in the channel.

Pipeline to extract a 60-second YouTube Short from each long-form Roadmap-2026 video — identify the hook moment, the aha moment, or the strongest demo clip, then reframe vertical, burn captions in CapCut. Use when a long video has been recorded/published and Shorts are needed for the off-days (Tue/Thu/Sat).

Indian-YouTube-tuned title and thumbnail brief generator for the Roadmap-2026 channel. Pairs a title formula with a matching thumbnail brief (face emotion, highlight word, Telugu accent text). Use after a video script is drafted, before recording, to lock the title + thumbnail brief together.

Given a Roadmap-2026 topic, generates 5 first-30-second hooks across Balaji's opener rotation — personal story, production incident, live demo first, comment callback, shock statistic. Enforces the no-clickbait, no-"hey-guys-welcome", under-30-seconds rules. Use after the video's roadmap mapping is locked, before writing the rest of the script.

Sunday 7 PM IST one-hour live doubt-clearing format for Roadmap-2026. Includes comment-mining workflow, question prioritization, live overlay templates, post-live followup doc, and the comment-to-Short repurposing pipeline. Use the day before a Sunday live, or when planning the live broadcast itself.

Phase-aware monetization rules for the Roadmap-2026 channel. Phase 1 (channel launch → first ~10k subs) = 100% trust building, ZERO paid pitches, only subtle hints. Phase 2 / Phase 3 unlock progressively richer pitches. Use whenever a script, description, or live includes (or might include) any reference to paid offerings.
