## What it does

The skill handles HyperFrames registry items. Blocks download as standalone sub-compositions to `compositions/<name>.html` with their own canvas size and duration. Components download to `compositions/components/<name>.html` as effect snippets without fixed dimensions.

It guides CLI usage. When wiring blocks into `index.html`, it configures attributes like `data-composition-src` and `data-start`. For components, it merges markup and GSAP timeline scripts directly into the host composition.

Full examples require a different command. The `hyperframes add` utility only handles blocks and components, while complete templates need `hyperframes init <dir> --example <name>`. Target folders can be remapped inside `hyperframes.json`.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill hyperframes-registry -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill hyperframes-registry -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/hyperframes-registry/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins hyperframes-registry
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/hyperframes/skills/hyperframes-registry
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/hyperframes/skills/hyperframes-registry/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- wire a registry block into an index.html timeline
- merge component markup and GSAP scripts into a host composition
- inspect available items via the registry JSON manifest
- configure block and component target paths in hyperframes.json

## Example prompts
- Install the data-chart block with hyperframes add and insert it into index.html
- Add the grain-overlay component and merge its CSS and scripts into the composition
- Check what blocks exist by fetching the HyperFrames registry manifest

description: 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

```bash
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`:

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

See [install-locations.md](./references/install-locations.md) for full details.

## Wiring blocks

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

```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](./references/wiring-blocks.md) for full details.
