hyperframes-registry skill

A HyperFrames skill for searching and installing about 450 ready-made blocks and components (transitions, titles, captions, charts, camera moves) as editable source.

Our verdict Recommended

A focused skill that saves effort and improves quality by steering the agent to vetted blocks; its only outbound behavior is the optional feedback report on search misses.

What the hyperframes-registry skill does

hyperframes-registry tells the agent to look in the HyperFrames catalog before hand-building any named visual such as CRT scanlines, a glitch transition, film grain or a bar-chart race. Search is npx hyperframes catalog --query "<what the beat should do>" --json, installation is npx hyperframes add <name> --json, which writes the item's files into the project and prints a mount snippet. Installed items are ordinary source files, so the agent can cut them down or restyle them.

The skill separates blocks (a scene with its own timeline: transitions, overlays and lower thirds, title cards and kinetic type, social and chat cards, code, charts and maps, 3D and shader backgrounds) from components (snippets merged into a scene: text effects, caption styles, camera moves, product-demo props). It explains search tiers: a default words tier that only matches shared vocabulary, and an optional on-device semantic tier that needs a one-time download of about 33 MB, which the agent must offer rather than switch on silently. Queries should be in English. When nothing fits, the agent is told to report the gap through the feedback command. The folder has 13 files: reference pages on search and a component quality bar, plus examples, and no scripts.

Good for

  • Reusing tested transitions, captions and chart blocks instead of having the agent invent them
  • Keeping agent-built videos visually consistent across projects
  • Finding a camera move or overlay by describing the effect in words

Not for

  • Projects that do not use HyperFrames
  • Offline environments, since add needs the network even for items installed before

Depth 3/5

A 4 KB SKILL.md with 12 supporting reference and example files, no scripts, pointing at a catalog of about 450 items that lives in the repo's registry.

Dependencies and costs

  • HyperFrames CLI (Node.js 22+)
  • Network access for hyperframes add
  • Telemetry: Catalog search is local and sends nothing, per the skill. Misses can be reported through npx hyperframes feedback --search-miss, and the CLI's usage counters are on by default (disable with npx hyperframes telemetry disable).

Security review

Broad access

This skill asks for more access than most, or sends data to another service. That is usually a design choice rather than bad intent, but you should know before you install it.

  • Uploads your data by defaultWhen no catalog item fits, the agent is told to report it with npx hyperframes feedback --search-miss "<query>" --wanted "<the move you needed>", sending a description of the user's request to HyperFrames without a per-use prompt.skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md:24

Markdown-only skill for searching about 450 ready-made HyperFrames blocks and installing them as editable source into a project through the HyperFrames CLI. Installed items are downloaded at use time and become code in your project. When nothing fits, the skill tells the agent to send a short description of the request to HyperFrames as feedback.

Worth knowing

  • Relies on a CLI or package we could not reviewSearch and install run through npx hyperframes catalog and npx hyperframes add, the HyperFrames npm CLI, whose code is not in the skill folder.skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md:17
  • Runs remote code at an unpinned versionStandalone installs run the CLI as npx hyperframes without a version (plugin installs use a launcher pinned to the plugin release).skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md:17
  • Makes network requestsadd downloads block and component source from the HyperFrames registry, and the fallback path curls registry.json from raw.githubusercontent.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/main.skills/hyperframes-registry/references/discovery.md:26
  • Sends usage data by default (can be turned off)Search is local; the HyperFrames CLI's own usage telemetry is on by default with a documented opt-out (HYPERFRAMES_NO_TELEMETRY=1, DO_NOT_TRACK=1) per the sibling hyperframes-cli skill.skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md:22

What we checked

The skill folder (13 files) on Oct 29, 2026. Not a full review: it relies on code outside the repository: npm package hyperframes (HyperFrames CLI, run through npx); registry blocks and components downloaded by `hyperframes add` at use time.

NVIDIA SkillSpector static scan: 33 pattern hits (MCP Rug Pull 32, Anti-Refusal 1). No scanner hits for this skill; the curl lines are a fallback to read the public registry manifest. The folder is Markdown only.

Can it run unattended?

Not really. It is a lookup and install helper used inside a larger video workflow, with no loop of its own.

FAQ

What is hyperframes-registry?

It is a skill that points an agent at HyperFrames' catalog of about 450 blocks and components, such as transitions, title cards, captions, charts and camera moves. The agent searches and installs items as editable source before it writes effects by hand.

How do I install hyperframes-registry?

It is one of the four core skills in heygen-com/hyperframes. Run npx hyperframes skills update, or npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes and choose the Core Skills group.

Does catalog search send my prompt anywhere?

The skill says search is local and sends nothing. The optional semantic tier downloads a model of about 33 MB once and runs on your device. Only the explicit feedback command reports a missed search.

Can I edit the blocks after installing them?

Yes. Items are written into the project as normal source files, so you or the agent can change, trim or restyle them.
