When It Triggers · How It Works · What It Produces
Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.
Trigger
When a HyperFrames video needs non-animation creative direction — palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, or brand/style decisions — after hyperframes-core contract is set.
Working Mechanism
- Read design spec (frame.md/design.md) first if present, else pick a route (preset, style, house-style, picker).
- Plan beats via beat-direction before HTML; use references for palettes, composition, typography, story, narration.
- Run scripts: contrast-report.mjs, extract-audio-data.py for verification/audio bands.
Result
A directed design spec and creative plan: coherent visual style, validated contrast, beat-aligned structure, ready for animation skill to execute.
Use Cases
Two Typical Use Cases
No-spec promo creative direction
A creator starts a HyperFrames promo with no design system. They use this skill to adopt a frame-preset (e.g. bold-poster), pick a palette from palettes/, and plan beats via beat-direction. The skill yields a frame.md and creative plan, avoiding generic web-layout look and speeding brand-aligned production.
Audio-reactive visual styling
An editor has a music track and wants audio-reactive visuals. They run extract-audio-data.py to get bands, read audio-reactive.md, and apply typography/narration refs to build a styled composition. The skill ensures video-medium density and contrast-checked frames via contrast-report.mjs, delivering a polished concept.
