How to use the Hyperframes Video Frames agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The video-hyperframes skill is an agent skill that tells an AI agent to turn your content into a series of full-screen 16:9 HTML slides that play automatically, one short idea per slide. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for it, and what you need before you try it. By the end you will know how to get a frame-by-frame animation script that a video tool such as Remotion or Hyperframes can later read.
Hyperframes Video Framesnexu-io/html-anything · Apache-2.0 Download the skill Quick start
- 1Download the skill. Download the skill ZIP from the page where you found this guide.
- 2Unzip the folder. Extract the ZIP so you have a video-hyperframes folder containing SKILL.md, example.md and example.html.
- 3Place it in your skills folder. Move the folder to ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or to .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- 4Or upload it in the Claude apps. In the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill.
- 5Make a request. Describe your content in plain language and ask for a 16:9 frame-by-frame or slide-style video animation.
- 6Review the HTML. Open the output in a browser and step through the slides with the arrow keys or clicks.
- 7Render if needed. If you want an mp4, pass the output and metadata to Remotion or Hyperframes in a separate step.
What does the video-hyperframes skill make the agent do?
When the skill is active, the agent turns your content into a sequence of full-screen 16:9 HTML slides. Each slide shows one large line of text with a simple visual layout, such as centred, golden-ratio or rule-of-thirds composition.
The output page includes JavaScript that advances to the next slide every 3 seconds. You can also click or use the arrow keys, and a progress bar is shown in a corner. Each slide carries hidden timing and transition markers, plus a metadata block, so a video tool can read them later.
- Slides are sized 1920 by 1080 pixels.
- The first slide is a hook: a statistic, a surprising claim or a question.
- Later slides build the argument, and the last slide holds the conclusion and a call to action.
- The skill asks for one idea per frame and large text, so dense content is not a good fit.

Download the skill ZIP from the page where you found this guide, then unzip it. Put the resulting skill folder in one of two places: your personal skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/, or the .claude/skills/ folder inside a specific project.
If you use the Claude apps instead, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill there.
- Personal install: place the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ so it is available across your projects.
- Project install: place the folder in the .claude/skills/ folder of one project so it applies only there.
- Claude apps: upload the skill under Settings, Capabilities, Skills.
Check the files in the skill folder
The skill folder contains three files: SKILL.md, which holds the instructions the agent follows, example.md, a sample script, and example.html, a sample of the HTML output. Open the examples to see what a finished result looks like before you run your own content.
The example script is an eight-frame sequence. Each frame has a short line of text and a duration in seconds, such as a 3-second hook followed by 4- and 5-second frames.
- SKILL.md: the instructions the agent reads.
- example.md: a sample frame script with timings.
- example.html: a sample of the HTML slide output.
How do you trigger the skill with a natural request?
You do not need special syntax. Describe the result you want in plain language and mention that it should be a frame-by-frame or slide-style video animation. The skill source does not list fixed trigger words, so write the request the way you would explain the job to a colleague.
Include your content, the rough length you want, and the target video tool if you know it. The agent decides how many frames to create based on how much information your content contains.
- Turn this product announcement into a short 16:9 frame-by-frame animation I can render with Remotion.
- Make a 30-second promo script as auto-playing HTML slides, one idea per frame, with a call to action at the end.
- Build a Hyperframes-ready explainer from these notes, with a bold hook on the first frame.
What do you need before you start?
The skill requires an agent that supports the SKILL.md format. The skill files do not list any other software. You only need Remotion or Hyperframes if you want to render the output into an mp4 video file.
The HTML output on its own is enough to preview the animation in a browser and to hand the frame data to a developer.
- A SKILL.md-compatible agent.
- Remotion or Hyperframes, only if you plan to render to video.
- Content that suits short, single-idea frames.
Safety notes: scripts and network access
According to the skill's own assessment, the video-hyperframes skill does not run scripts and does not use the network. Its output is HTML and metadata. Rendering to a video file is a separate step done with other tools.
As with any skill, read SKILL.md and the example files before you use the output in production, since you are the one deciding what to publish.
- Runs scripts: no.
- Uses network: no.
- The skill produces HTML and metadata only, not a finished video file.
Tips for better results
Give the agent a script that is short and focused. The skill is built for one idea per frame, so a long document will be broken into many thin frames or will not fit the format well.
If you plan to render with Remotion or Hyperframes, say so in your request. The metadata block is intended to be read by a later render script, so check that it is present and that durations match your intended pacing.
- Keep the source text short and punchy.
- State your target length, for example a 30-second promo.
- Check the frame durations and transitions before rendering.
- Use the arrow keys or clicks to step through the slides while you review them.
What people use it for
- Drafting a short explainer video as a timed sequence of frames.
- Writing a promo script for a product launch, with a hook, supporting points and a call to action.
- Building the frame data for a Remotion or Hyperframes pipeline.
- Creating a cinematic-style animation script for a social video.
- Sketching the pacing of a video before you commit to filming or animation work.
Frequently asked questions
Is the video-hyperframes skill free?
The skill is listed under the Apache-2.0 licence. Check the licence text in the source repository for the terms that apply to your use.
What do I need to use the video-hyperframes skill?
You need an agent that supports the SKILL.md format. Remotion or Hyperframes is only needed if you want to render the output into an mp4 video.
Does the skill create a finished mp4 video?
No. The skill produces HTML slides and metadata. Rendering to a video file needs a separate tool such as Remotion or Hyperframes.
How do I install the video-hyperframes skill?
Download the ZIP from the page, unzip it, and place the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, you can upload it under Settings, Capabilities, Skills.
Does the video-hyperframes skill run scripts or use the internet?
According to the skill's assessment, it runs no scripts and uses no network. It only outputs HTML and metadata.
Why does my output have too many or too few frames?
The skill decides the frame count from how much information your content contains. For a clearer result, shorten the source text so each idea fits on its own frame.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you want a quick, structured animation script with timed frames that a video tool can later render, such as creators drafting a short promo or developers building a Remotion or Hyperframes pipeline. Pick something else if you need a finished video file straight from the agent, or if your content is long and dense, since the skill is built for one idea per frame.
