Use the HyperFrames CLI development loop: init, add, catalog, capture, lint, check, snapshot, compare, grade-compare, preview, play, present, beats, keyframes, single or batch render, publish, cloud, cloudrun, feedback, lambda, doctor, browser, info, upgrade,…

All animation knowledge for HyperFrames — atomic motion rules, multi-phase scene blueprints, scene transitions, broader motion-design techniques, AND the seven runtime adapters (GSAP default, plus Lottie, Three.js, Anime.js, CSS keyframes, Web Animations API,…

Turn arbitrary text — an article, notes, a topic, a brief — into a faceless explainer video: there is no site or footage to capture, so the visuals are invented per scene (typography, abstract graphics, diagrams, data-viz). Use for topic explainers, concept…

Author or edit a custom HyperFrames composition when no specialized workflow fits, or when BRIEF.md sets flow: companion. Use for longer or multi-scene pieces, brand and sizzle reels, montages, static loops, static title cards, footage remixes, and freeform…

Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns…

Mandatory entry point: read this first for any request to make, create, edit, animate, or render a video, animation, or motion graphic, including a promo, explainer, captioned clip, title card, overlay, slideshow or interactive deck, Remotion port, or any…

Use when working with a person on a HyperFrames project in Studio: first, whether their message asks for a change at all (questions, loose ideas and "don't change anything" get an answer and a plan, not an edit); for a new film, the plan, storyboard and build…

Turn a music track (an audio file, a video to pull audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief) into a beat-synced video — lyric video, slideshow, or kinetic promo. The music drives all pacing; any user-supplied images/videos are cut onto the same beat…

A 60 to 75 s hand-drawn ink film of the agent's day with its own user ("a day in my life as <name>'s agent"): one average session from the user's local Claude Code history, beginning to end. The story follows what they actually do (coding, tests, docs,…

Use when an agent needs to make a HyperFrames video of a Strudel live-coding track, where the code itself is the picture and every token lights up on the note it plays. Trigger on: "strudel video", "live coding video", "show my code playing", "make a video of…

An agent makes an animated film of an average session with its own user, beginning to end, told with that user's real messages: whatever their routine is (code, writing, data, design, video). The agent sits at a desk in a room decorated from what it knows…

Captions living in 3D space around a talking head: a camera flies between the speaker and the words (whip-in, parallax truck, push), caption groups sit at different depths so camera moves pull them apart, hero words hide BEHIND the speaker through an alpha…

Composite any two HTML screens into a locked photo plate of hands holding an open foldable phone — a 1448×1086 still with two blank 495×849 / 498×849 screen slots (left and right) — to make side-by-side meme and comparison videos: TikTok vs Reels, ChatGPT vs…

Turn any X (Twitter) profile into a 10.3s animated "POSTING LICENSE" card video — a fake driver's license in X's branding: the card slides in over an animated dot-matrix ground, license text types on letter-by-letter, follower / following / post counters tick…

Create a 60–90 second, collage-style HyperFrames explainer from a hiding-in-plain-sight topic or supplied documents and links. Use for requests such as 'make a plain-sight explainer', 'Vox-style history of X', 'why is X everywhere?', or 'turn this document…

Turn a text prompt, a photo, or a live video clip into hand-made-looking p5.js animation — pencil handwriting that writes itself, photos repainted as brushstroke art with paint-on animation and camera moves, and short videos (iPhone Live Photos included)…

Render the staged composition and return the playable video. Picks between HeyGen cloud render (default) and local in-sandbox render at runtime. Use as the final step, after customize-composition.

Validate the generated content against the composition's real variable schema and stage it for rendering. Use after generate-script and before render-and-return.

Decide the actual content (headline copy, feature lines, colors, etc.) for the chosen composition's variables. Use after pick-composition and before customize-composition.

Synthesize a spoken voiceover for the video from the narration script via HeyGen TTS. Use after generate-script and before customize-composition. Runs by default for every video unless the user asked for no narration.

Choose the best starter composition for the user's request. Use this first, at the start of every new video request, before generating any content.

Create AI videos, manage avatars, translate videos, and download results via the HeyGen API. Use when an agent needs to generate videos from text prompts, create avatar-based videos, translate existing videos, or automate video production workflows.

Cut a stable (or dev) release of the heygen CLI end to end: run RELEASE.md's pre-release checklist, land pending PRs, check the command surface, run E2E, pick the version, write the changelog, trigger the release workflow, publish the notes, and verify the…

Generate a user-facing changelog for the next stable release. Reads git log between the last stable tag and HEAD, categorizes changes, and outputs formatted release notes. Use before triggering a stable release. Takes the version as an optional argument (for…

End-to-end test of the heygen CLI against the live API. Builds the binary, then exercises auth, list, get, --human, schema, error handling, and the full create-poll-download-delete write path. Spends a small number of API credits per run. Use before cutting a…

Troubleshoot and debug LiveAvatar integration issues. Use when the user's LiveAvatar integration isn't working, the avatar is silent, audio is garbled, sessions fail to start, events aren't received, or they're getting API errors.
