Install this skill with its sibling skills. See runtime setup and capability boundaries before executing commands. User instructions and the requested production stage take precedence over workflow defaults.

general-video — general video workflow

For a complete narrated film, a mixed-media explainer, or user scene/audio review, use /hyperframes' studio pipeline and review-driven-production.md. This freeform route remains useful for custom pieces; it must not bypass narration timing, versioned review, final assembly or the requested audit loops. Current explicit instructions and review choices supersede stale design files.

Confirm the route before you build. This is the fallback for custom composition authoring. If the input clearly fits a specialized workflow, prefer it: marketed product → /product-launch-video; general site → /website-to-video; topic explainer → /faceless-explainer; GitHub PR → /pr-to-video; existing footage → /embedded-captions · /talking-head-recut; short unnarrated motion graphic → /motion-graphics; Remotion port → /remotion-to-hyperframes. Out of scope: live / at-render-time data, NLE-style editing of a finished video, or producing footage HyperFrames can't capture. Unsure? Read /hyperframes first.

Set the installed skill path before any command below. The direct commands work in legacy projects; use the shorter npm run audio:discover / npm run fast:check aliases only after canonical HyperFrames scaffold/refresh has installed them.

HYPERFRAMES_DIR="/absolute/path/to/installed/hyperframes"

Frozen media: Every rendered BGM, SFX, image, or icon resolves to a reviewed project-local file. For audio candidates, run node "$HYPERFRAMES_DIR/scripts/audio-discover.cjs" --type bgm --query "<job>" or --type sfx; audition and rights-check one result, then use /media-use to resolve/freeze it. Discovery never approves an asset or supplies a render path.

Build exactly what was asked. A title card is a title card — not a title card + three supporting scenes + ambient music + captions. If extra scenes or elements would genuinely improve the piece, propose them; don't add them silently. For small edits (fix a color, adjust one duration, add one element), skip the planning steps and go straight to the build.
