* fix(motion-graphics): make the catalog search fire before hand-authoring
The workflow's only reuse instruction pointed at catalog-map.md, a
hand-maintained snapshot of ~60 registry items, and no file in the skill
ever named `hyperframes catalog --query`. An agent asked mid-build for
CRT scanlines and a glitch effect had no instruction to search, so it
hand-authored both while caption-glitch-rgb ("RGB chromatic aberration
with CRT scanline overlay") ranks first for that query on either tier.
The search reads the hosted registry and needs nothing installed, from
any directory with no project, so "the components were not installed"
was never the cause. Say that where the reader is, since the wrong
diagnosis is the intuitive one.
Director Part 2 and the Builder now run the search before naming a
block, and catalog-map.md is labelled a partial snapshot whose misses
prove nothing. Pinned by a content test in coreSkillContent.test.ts.
* fix(skills): search the component catalog before hand-building a look
Authoring workflows never told the agent to search the component library,
so agents rebuilt effects the registry already shipped. A user reported
building an effect from scratch that the registry already contained; the
search that would have found it needs nothing installed, which is why the
usual self-diagnosis ("I forgot to install the components") is wrong.
All ten workflow skills carried zero mentions of `hyperframes catalog`.
The instruction lived only in hyperframes-cli and hyperframes-registry,
both loaded on demand, and the registry skill's own trigger named the
command rather than the symptom - circular, because an agent that never
thought to search could not reach the doc telling it to search.
- Eight workflows now run the search at the point they decide what to
build, before authoring. The two that compile through a closed
authoring vocabulary (embedded-captions, talking-head-recut) document
why they deliberately do not.
- hyperframes-registry triggers on the symptom (a named look, effect,
treatment or transition) instead of the command name; the router table
and the catalog surfaces carry the same framing.
- Fixes hand-maintained lists that had drifted: bar-chart-race was listed
as a hand-author gap in two files while shipping in the registry;
stat-motion was named as an installable block and is not one; the
caption-* family count was one high; the registry discovery tables
claimed to be the block list while covering 97 of 180.
- bun run lint:skills now fails when a doc marked as a registry snapshot
names an item the registry does not have.
* refactor(scripts): reuse native recursive readdir and the shared registry type
Simplify pass on the new registry-snapshot check, behaviour identical:
- collectMarkdownFiles uses readdirSync({ recursive: true }) instead of
hand-rolled recursion, matching scripts/generate-template-previews.ts.
- registryItemNames types registry.json with the exported RegistryManifest
instead of an ad hoc inline shape, matching scripts/catalog/build-local-vectors.ts.
The runtime guard stays: a cast describes the file, it does not validate it.
- One report() helper replaces the duplicated print-and-count block in both
lint passes.
* refactor(scripts): name the registry check's blind spots and stop self-arming
Applies the review findings on the new check, behaviour identical except
where noted:
- lintRegistryItemRefs returns null for an unmarked file instead of an
empty array, so "not a snapshot" and "a clean snapshot" have one owner
and the marker is matched once rather than twice.
- Marker detection ignores fenced blocks, so a doc that documents the
marker syntax in an example no longer arms the check on itself. The id
scan still reads full content, so fenced examples stay covered.
- The header comment and two tests now pin both known false negatives:
identifiers outside backticks, and single-word item names. Measured on
the six marked files, dropping the hyphen requirement would monitor 3
more items and force 46 allow= entries for ordinary prose words, so the
requirement stays and the gap is stated instead of silent.
* chore(skills): regenerate skills manifest after catalog-search edits
* feat(scripts): typecheck the scripts directory
scripts/ was the one TypeScript surface nothing typechecked. Adding a project for it surfaced real errors rather than style: a preview generator passing string | undefined where a string was required, a readdir result indexed without a bound, and two non-null assertions standing in for a filter that could have narrowed the type instead.
The two preview generators had also drifted into sharing a capture setup, down to the comment explaining why the capture is opaque. That lifts into scripts/preview-capture.ts, so the reason is written once and both callers own the handles they have to close.
@hyperframes/core and @hyperframes/producer become dev dependencies because the scripts import them; without that the project resolves on a machine with a warm node_modules and fails in CI.
* fix(scripts): use source imports consistently
Packages Jake Moran's changelog-video pipeline (v1, validated end-to-end
by Home on the Jun 23-29 range) as a repo-native skill set that Claude
Code (.claude/skills/) and Codex CLI (.agents/skills/) auto-discover the
moment the repo is opened. No install step; run the skill against a
changelog markdown for a given git range and it produces a lint-clean,
seam-gate-green 1080x1080 MP4 (~45-60s, Annie VO, mock-UI visualizations,
caption rail) end-to-end.
Six skills added byte-identical in both mirror dirs:
- changelog-video (pipeline entry point)
- motion-doctrine (carries seam-stamp.mjs + seam-gate.mjs)
- cut-the-curve, captions-overlay, seam-craft, oversized-cursor
Layout:
- .claude/skills/ - Claude Code project-local auto-discover
- .agents/skills/ - Codex CLI project-local auto-discover (verified via
Magi's clean-home Codex 0.144.3 repro; NOT .codex/skills/)
Fonts, animated background (12 MB), house BGM (5 MB), lexicon, and
align-captions ship inside the skill dirs. .gitattributes routes only
.claude/skills/**/*.{mp4,mp3} + .agents/skills/**/*.{mp4,mp3} through
LFS — narrowly scoped so unrelated Player, Studio, registry, and
marketplace media stay put. HeyGen CLI auth is the one credential the
skill needs; Node >= 22, ffmpeg, and headless Chrome are documented
alongside in both READMEs.
.gitignore: rewrites .claude/ and .agents/ blocks to keep agent-installed
skill hygiene while re-including the six repo-native skill dirs plus
README.md.
CI:
- Extends changes.skills filter to match .claude/skills/**,
.agents/skills/**, scripts/lint-skills.ts, and scripts/check-skill-mirror.mjs.
- New 'Skills: project-native lint + mirror' job runs the extended
lint-skills.ts (schema-driven; required { name, description } + optional
{ license, allowed-tools, metadata }, name pattern check, description
length check) plus a new check-skill-mirror.mjs byte-integrity script
(24 mirrored files must match; README.md deliberately per-CLI).
- Wired into 'bun run lint' locally.
Frontmatter validator:
- Rejects unsupported top-level keys (catches category:-style drift).
- Requires name + description.
- Validates name pattern (^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$) and description shape
(non-empty, <=1024 chars).
- Missing frontmatter block itself is a first-class error.
Also strips unsupported top-level 'category:' frontmatter from Jake's
motion-doctrine and cut-the-curve SKILL.mds (both mirrors), rewrites the
TTS invocation from ~/.claude/skills/media-use/... to the tracked
skills/hyperframes-media/scripts/heygen-tts.mjs, swaps npx hyperframes@latest
for the repo-local CLI in the gate step, and fixes a lint issue in Jake's
seam-gate.mjs (ternary-for-side-effect -> if/else).
Validated end-to-end by Home on Jun 23-29 (MP4 posted in C0ACCNHLG3U
thread 1784181166.041319). Independently reviewed R1/R2/R3 by Magi.

The `media-use` SKILL.md `description:` was an unquoted YAML scalar containing
a mid-value `: ` (`...the full cascade: project cache...`). YAML 1.2 reads
that as a nested mapping and the parse fails with "Nested mappings are not
allowed in compact mappings". `skills add` aborts the entire install when any
one skill fails to parse, so this single file blocked installing all 19
skills for everyone following the README's `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes`.
- Replace the offending `: ` with ` — ` (keeps the plain-scalar style used by
the other 18 skills; the description already uses `—` as a separator).
- Add a frontmatter guard to scripts/lint-skills.ts that flags unquoted
top-level scalars containing `: ` — the exact ambiguity — so this can't
regress. No new dependency.

- Replace hardcoded template list in build:copy with `cp -r src/templates/*`
so new templates are included automatically (kinetic-type, decision-tree,
product-promo, nyt-graph were missing from published package)
- Fix captions SKILL.md: reword `!` and `>` in inline backticks that
triggered Claude Code's bash permission checker
- Add scripts/lint-skills.ts to catch shell-unsafe patterns in SKILL.md
files (runs as part of `bun run lint` in CI)
