HyperFrames Creative
Brand, pacing, style, narration, and composition direction. Use after the technical contract from hyperframes-core is in place.
For motion patterns, scene blueprints, transitions, and CSS marker effects, use hyperframes-animation — this skill is intentionally non-animation.
Read these two FIRST for any non-trivial composition — they override web instincts:
references/house-style.md — "interpret the prompt, generate real content," the lazy-default list, and the background/foreground layer recipe. This is what turns a literal restyle into a concept.references/video-composition.md — video-medium density, scale, foreground metadata (the "produced, not generated" detailing: data bars, registration marks, monospace readouts, 8-10 elements/scene).
Skipping these is the single biggest cause of generic, web-page-looking output. They are not optional rows in the routing table below — for anything beyond a one-line edit, open both before you choose colors or write HTML.
Workflow
- If a project has a design spec, read it first and treat its frontmatter tokens as brand truth (colors, fonts, spacing, tone, constraints). Which file to read (precedence
frame.md → design.md → DESIGN.md) and how to parse it (frontmatter = normative, prose = context) are defined once in references/design-spec.md — resolve and load per that doc.
- If no design spec exists and the user asks for visual direction, choose a route:
- Ready-made frame-preset (optional) →
frame-presets/ (adopt a FRAME.md as frame.md; see references/design-spec.md)
- Named style or mood →
references/visual-styles.md
- Fast defaults →
references/house-style.md
- Interactive selection →
references/design-picker.md
- For multi-scene work, plan beats and rhythm before writing HTML →
references/beat-direction.md. For scene transitions, jump to hyperframes-animation/transitions/.
- For motion-heavy work, read
references/motion-principles.md (high-level guardrails), then go to hyperframes-animation for atomic rules.

Scripts
scripts/contrast-report.mjs — inspect contrast warnings from rendered frames.scripts/extract-audio-data.py — pre-extract audio bands for audio-reactive compositions.scripts/package-loader.mjs — support script for bundled creative tooling.
Run from the repo root with explicit paths, for example:
python skills/hyperframes-creative/scripts/extract-audio-data.py <audio-file>
Animation analysis (animation-map.mjs) lives in hyperframes-animation/scripts/.
Boundaries
- Do not override
hyperframes-core technical rules.
- Do not require a design system for a minimal technical composition.
- Do not add extra scenes, narration, music, captions, or transitions unless the request calls for them or you first propose the expansion.
- Keep recipe references task-specific; do not read every reference for simple edits.
