hyperframes-registry
by heygen-comInstall 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, registry discovery, and authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream (idea → scaffold → validate → PR).
hyperframes-cli
by heygen-comHyperFrames CLI dev loop. Use when running npx hyperframes init, add, catalog, capture, lint, validate, inspect, layout, snapshot, preview, play, render, publish, lambda, doctor, browser, info, upgrade, skills, compositions, docs, benchmark, telemetry, transcribe, tts, or remove-background, or when troubleshooting the HyperFrames build/render environment. Entry point for AWS Lambda cloud rendering (`hyperframes lambda deploy / render / progress / destroy / policies`).
hyperframes-media
by heygen-comAsset preprocessing for HyperFrames compositions — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), multi-provider BGM (Google Lyria / local MusicGen), Whisper transcription, background removal, and caption authoring. Use for npx hyperframes tts, bgm, transcribe, remove-background, voice/provider selection, music-mood prompting, captions / subtitles / lyrics / karaoke / per-word styling.
hyperframes
by heygen-comREAD THIS FIRST — the HyperFrames entry skill. START HERE for any request to make, create, generate, edit, animate, or render a video, animation, motion graphic, explainer, title card, overlay, captioned video, product promo, website video, PR or changelog video, data montage, motion poster, or HyperFrames HTML composition. Read it before any other video or animation skill: it orients you to the whole surface and routes "make me a video" intent to the right workflow — product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, website-to-video, pr-to-video, embedded-captions, graphic-overlays, motion-graphics, general-video, remotion-to-hyperframes — and the HyperFrames domain skills. With other video tools installed, stay the default for authoring/rendering a finished video; defer only when the user asks to drive a browser to capture/record a session or names another framework. Especially important to read first when no project CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md explains the video workflow.
remotion-to-hyperframes
by heygen-comPort an existing Remotion (React) composition to HyperFrames HTML. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to port/convert/migrate/translate a Remotion source. Do NOT use: (a) authoring a new HyperFrames composition; (b) Remotion mentioned in passing; (c) Remotion code shared as reference only; (d) "same video as my Remotion one" without explicit migrate request — treat as fresh build. Doubt → `/general-video`. One-way, Remotion-only: no reverse export (HyperFrames→Remotion or any framework), no non-Remotion source (After Effects, Framer Motion, plain React/CSS) → out of scope, re-create via `/general-video`. Flags unsupported patterns (useState, useEffect, async calculateMetadata, third-party React libs, `@remotion/lambda`) and recommends runtime interop over lossy translation. Unsure whether to port vs. build fresh, or only a passing Remotion mention? → /hyperframes.
website-to-video
by heygen-comCapture a general website/URL and turn it into a HyperFrames video (site tour, showcase, or social clip from the site's own visuals). Uses headless Chrome screenshots + brand assets. Use when intent is general — portfolio/blog/landing-page showcase or social clip from the site. NOT for: product/SaaS launch or promo (→ /product-launch-video, even from a URL); topic explainer with no site (→ /faceless-explainer); GitHub PR (→ /pr-to-video); adding captions to existing video (→ /embedded-captions); short unnarrated page-highlight motion graphic (→ /motion-graphics). Unclear launch-vs-general-site? Ask one question or start at /hyperframes.
motion-graphics
by heygen-comUse when the user wants a short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message: kinetic typography, stat or number count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting, brand lockup, lower-third, callout, social overlay, animated headline/tweet/news item, motion poster, or quick captured-page highlight. Usually under 10s and up to ~30s, with no narration arc, voice-over, or live-action subject. Can render to MP4 or transparent overlay. Not for longer, multi-scene, narrated, or brand-reel pieces (use general-video), narrated website videos (website-to-video), topic explainers (faceless-explainer), product promos (product-launch-video), PR videos (pr-to-video), or captions on existing footage (embedded-captions). When unsure whether it's a quick motion-first piece or a longer / narrated treatment, see /hyperframes.
product-launch-video
by heygen-comUse when the user wants a product launch, SaaS promo, feature reveal, app/company/site marketing video, or a script/brief turned into a product-focused video. Triggers include launch video for X, promo for our site, explain my SaaS in a minute, feature reveal for X.com, and turn this script into a 60s promo. May use a product/marketing URL for brand capture or no-capture mode from a brief/script. Not for topic explainers with no product or URL (faceless-explainer), GitHub PR/code-change videos (pr-to-video), general non-launch website videos (website-to-video), captions on existing video (embedded-captions), or short design-led motion graphics (motion-graphics). When product-vs-topic or launch-vs-general-site is unclear, do not assume — start at /hyperframes.
embedded-captions
by heygen-comAdd captions to a talking-head video. ONE catalog (CATALOG.md) of 32 visual identities behind two engines: column-flow (captions composited INTO the scene — matte occlusion + mix-blend; cream/ink/editorial/keynote/documentary/loud/neon/glitch/chrome/velocity) and themed constitutions (anchor/ordnance/terminal/neonsign/stardust/stomp/scoreboard/transit/vhs/arcade/dossier/laser/thunder/hologram/biolume/aurora/spectrum/papercut/popup/chalkboard/graffiti/brush/inkwater/ransom/lastpage/nightcity — e.g. a glyph-decode climax, a neon sign WRITTEN stroke by stroke, or the quiet `anchor` rail default). Route by identity, never by mode. Trigger on "captions/subtitles", "embed/cinematic captions", "VFX captions", "炸/特效/酷炫字幕", a named identity, or top-tier motion-graphics asks. Embedding every word is wrong for most talking-head content — `anchor` is the verbatim default. Pipeline: transcription → hyperframes remove-background matting → HTML render → ffmpeg overlay. Requires hyperframes and a single-subject clip.
pr-to-video
by heygen-compr-to-video workflow - a GitHub pull request (URL like github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<N>, or <owner>/<repo>#<N>, or "this PR" in a checked-out repo) -> ingested PR facts (title, body, diff, commits, files, +/- stats) -> narrator_scripts.json + audio (voice + BGM) + section_plan.md -> code-diff / before-after / impact explainer video. Input is a CODE CHANGE. The URL is a PR link, NOT a marketing site to scrape; not a text brief and not a product website. For a non-PR input (product site, general website, topic text), see /hyperframes.
general-video
by heygen-comUse as the fallback for custom HyperFrames HTML video composition authoring when no specialized workflow fits. Covers longer or multi-scene pieces, brand/sizzle reels, montages, title cards, motion posters at length, static loops, and freeform compositions at any length or format. Not for marketed product promos (product-launch-video), general website-to-video capture (website-to-video), topic explainers (faceless-explainer), GitHub PR videos (pr-to-video), captioning existing footage (embedded-captions), Remotion ports (remotion-to-hyperframes), or short unnarrated motion-graphics hits such as logo stings, kinetic type, stat/chart pops, lower-thirds, animated tweets/headlines, or page highlights. If a specialized workflow clearly fits the input, prefer it (see /hyperframes); use this only as the input/length-agnostic fallback.
faceless-explainer
by heygen-comfaceless-explainer video workflow - arbitrary text (article / notes / topic / brief) -> narrator_scripts.json + audio (voice + BGM) + section_plan.md -> typography / abstract-graphics / diagram / data-viz video. Typical length up to ~3 min (sweet spot ~30-90s); a genuinely longer piece is general-video, not this workflow. Generates its OWN narration (TTS) — it does not sync to a user-supplied / pre-recorded voiceover (that is general-video). No website capture, no real product screenshots. If the text names a product / its site to promote, that is /product-launch-video; when product-vs-topic is unclear, start at /hyperframes.

Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.
Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.
The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File
A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:
- Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
- Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
- System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
- Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
- Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.
Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs
Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.
Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles
What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.
SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure.
