media-use
Get or make any media for a HyperFrames video - music, sound effects, images, icons, logos, voiceover, avatar and generated video, transcripts, cutouts, colour grades and looks - with HeyGen or free local tools, and mix placed audio. Also for footage that looks dark, flat or dull, or should be stylized or hidden.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes --skill media-use- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads media-use automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Plugin installs: Before setup or freshness commands, follow plugin execution rules when this skill is inside a HyperFrames plugin.
Media in HyperFrames
Media lands as a local file in the project's assets/ with a ledger record; renders never fetch. One verb finds or makes it:
npx hyperframes media-use resolve --type <type> --intent "<what you need>" --project <dir>
It prints one line, resolved <id> → <path> (<type>, <metadata>). List reusable assets first with --candidates and judge the fit yourself; reuse, ingest (--from) and adopt are in references/resolve.md.
Two ways to get it
| Need | HeyGen (best quality) | Free, no account |
|---|---|---|
Music (bgm) | Catalog of 10k+ tracks | Local MusicGen (audio/references/bgm.md) |
Sound effects (sfx) | Openverse; 21 bundled offline | |
| Images, icons | Asset search, 75k+ | Local FLUX (mflux), if installed |
Logos (logo) | theSVG, GitHub avatar, favicon; never redrawn | |
Voiceover (voice) | HeyGen voices, voice cloning | npx hyperframes tts (Kokoro on device; Python 3.10+ with pip install kokoro-onnx soundfile) |
| A presenter speaking | Avatar video (--type video) | Local LTX for generic clips, if installed |
| Transcripts | npx hyperframes transcribe (Parakeet or whisper) | |
| Cutouts | heygen background-removal | npx hyperframes remove-background |
| Grades, LUTs, looks | npx hyperframes media-treatment |
Host apps. Inside an app that gives you its own media tools, use those first. When HEYGEN_API_BASE is set, the host pays for HeyGen: don't ask for the heygen CLI or a sign-in, and when a call is refused, relay the host's message as written and stop.
HeyGen. Install the heygen CLI and sign in with heygen auth login --oauth: the OAuth session carries a free allowance on subscription credits; an API key (--api-key) bills API credits. Check setup with npx hyperframes media-use resolve --doctor. When a request needs HeyGen (a presenter or avatar, a HeyGen voice, catalog music) and heygen is missing or signed out, tell the person how to get it: the install link, heygen auth login --oauth for the free allowance, or an API key for credits. Then offer the free path or wait. Beyond resolve, the same CLI makes text-to-video (heygen video-agent create), avatar videos with a recorded track (heygen video create), cloned voices (heygen voice clone create), dubbing (heygen lipsync), translated videos (heygen video-translate) and short clips from a long video (heygen ai-clipping): recipes in references/operations.md.
Free. Every tool in the free column needs no account; local models are opt-in installs (references/setup-providers.md). Without heygen, resolve for music, images and icons fails and says so; credit CC BY sounds (audio/references/sfx.md). --local-only skips every network provider.
Cost. Confirm before a paid call you chose to make (an avatar video counts); one the person asked for just runs. --provider <name> pins one generator when the person names it.
Looks on real footage
Feedback that footage is dark, flat or dull, should feel retro or printed, needs a face hidden, or needs a reveal is media intent: read references/media-treatments.md. Inspect the real <img>/<video>, pick one intent, start from npx hyperframes media-treatment --capabilities --json, then --capability <id>; never --all. Persist the final treatment with npx hyperframes media-treatment; no CSS or SVG stand-ins for supported effects, and no generated .cube just to encode exposure or warmth.
Offer once, never add silently
When you build or review a piece, scan once for concrete gaps (on-screen text with no voiceover, emoji standing in for icons, placeholder images, silent cuts, 10 s+ with no music, a colour cast) and offer the specific fixes in one ask. No signal, no suggestion; respect "leave it".

hyperframes-animation
heygen-com/hyperframes
All animation knowledge for HyperFrames — atomic motion rules, multi-phase scene blueprints, scene transitions, broader motion-design techniques, AND the seven runtime adapters (GSAP default, plus Lottie, Three.js, Anime.js, CSS keyframes, Web Animations API, TypeGPU). Use for any motion or animation task: pick 2-4 rules and compose, or load a blueprint, or look up runtime-specific API (e.g. GSAP eases / Lottie player / Three.js mixer). Also covers auditing an existing composition's choreography (animation map) and 24 named text-animation effects. HyperFrames-native: single paused timeline, seek-safe, deterministic.
hyperframes-core

hyperframes-creative
heygen-com/hyperframes
Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use hyperframes-animation.
