calesthio 50891a75b7 hyperframes: add HTML/CSS/GSAP as a parallel composition runtime
Separates creative grammar (renderer_family) from technical engine
(render_runtime) so HyperFrames can stand alongside Remotion as a
first-class runtime instead of masquerading as a Remotion sub-case.
Locks runtime choice at proposal stage and enforces it end-to-end: the
schemas require it, video_compose routes by it, the reviewer fails
closed on silent swaps, and a parametrized contract test walks every
pipeline manifest to ensure each planning-stage skill explains the
conversation to the user. Adds hyperframes_compose (scaffold/lint/
validate/render/doctor/add_block), a playbook -> CSS style bridge, and
vendored HyperFrames Layer 3 skills from commit d291358, pinned via
PROVENANCE.md for future re-sync. Final_review now records
render_runtime_used and runtime_swap_detected so compose lies are
catchable after the fact.

hyperframes-registry Install and wire registry blocks and components into HyperFrames compositions. Use when running hyperframes add, installing a block or component, wiring an installed item into index.html, or working with hyperframes.json. Covers the add command, install locations, block sub-composition wiring, component snippet merging, and registry discovery.

HyperFrames Registry

The registry provides reusable blocks and components installable via hyperframes add <name>.

  • Blocks — standalone sub-compositions (own dimensions, duration, timeline). Included via data-composition-src in a host composition.
  • Components — effect snippets (no own dimensions). Pasted directly into a host composition's HTML.

When to use this skill

  • User mentions hyperframes add, "block", "component", or hyperframes.json
  • Output from hyperframes add appears in the session (file paths, clipboard snippet)
  • You need to wire an installed item into an existing composition
  • You want to discover what's available in the registry

Quick reference

hyperframes add data-chart              # install a block
hyperframes add grain-overlay           # install a component
hyperframes add shimmer-sweep --dir .   # target a specific project
hyperframes add data-chart --json       # machine-readable output
hyperframes add data-chart --no-clipboard  # skip clipboard (CI/headless)

After install, the CLI prints which files were written and a snippet to paste into your host composition. The snippet is a starting point — you'll need to add data-composition-id (must match the block's internal composition ID), data-start, and data-track-index attributes when wiring blocks.

Note: hyperframes add only works for blocks and components. For examples, use hyperframes init <dir> --example <name> instead.

Install locations

Blocks install to compositions/<name>.html by default. Components install to compositions/components/<name>.html by default.

These paths are configurable in hyperframes.json:

{
  "registry": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/main/registry",
  "paths": {
    "blocks": "compositions",
    "components": "compositions/components",
    "assets": "assets"
  }
}

See install-locations.md for full details.

Wiring blocks

Blocks are standalone compositions — include them via data-composition-src in your host index.html:

<div
  data-composition-id="data-chart"
  data-composition-src="compositions/data-chart.html"
  data-start="2"
  data-duration="15"
  data-track-index="1"
  data-width="1920"
  data-height="1080"
></div>

Key attributes:

  • data-composition-src — path to the block HTML file
  • data-composition-id — must match the block's internal ID
  • data-start — when the block appears in the host timeline (seconds)
  • data-duration — how long the block plays
  • data-width / data-height — block canvas dimensions
  • data-track-index — layer ordering (higher = in front)

See wiring-blocks.md for full details.

Wiring components

Components are snippets — paste their HTML into your composition's markup, their CSS into your style block, and their JS into your script (if any):

  1. Read the installed file (e.g., compositions/components/grain-overlay.html)
  2. Copy the HTML elements into your composition's <div data-composition-id="...">
  3. Copy the <style> block into your composition's styles
  4. Copy any <script> content into your composition's script (before your timeline code)
  5. If the component exposes GSAP timeline integration (see the comment block in the snippet), add those calls to your timeline

See wiring-components.md for full details.

Discovery

Browse available items:

# Read the registry manifest
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/main/registry/registry.json

Each item's registry-item.json contains: name, type, title, description, tags, dimensions (blocks only), duration (blocks only), and file list.

See discovery.md for details on filtering by type and tags.
