hyperframes-registry Skill for Claude: Reuse Ready-Made Video Effects

Lets your assistant search about 450 ready-made video effects and drop them into a HyperFrames project instead of writing them from scratch.

hyperframes-registry is a catalog of blocks (whole scenes) and components (snippets) for HyperFrames videos. It covers transitions, overlays, title cards, kinetic type, captions, charts, maps, 3D and camera moves. The assistant searches it with catalog --query and installs a match with add <name>.

Installed items become ordinary source files in your project, so you can edit them. Search runs locally and sends nothing, but add needs the network. Use it before hand-building any named effect, such as film grain or a glitch.

Good for

HyperFrames users who want transitions, titles and captions without hand-coding them
Designers who want a head start they can restyle with brand colors and fonts
Contributors adding new blocks to the upstream registry

Install hyperframes-registry

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the hyperframes-registry skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route, not both. The plugin bundles the full skill catalog and updates through Claude Code's plugin manager. The other two install the core four only. The four core skills work as one set: hyperframes holds the rules, hyperframes-cli the commands, hyperframes-registry the ready-made effects and media-use the media. Installing one alone leaves the others' hand-offs unanswered. Rendering needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Questions

What does hyperframes-registry do?

It lets the assistant search about 450 ready-made HyperFrames blocks and components, and install the match as editable files in your project. This is faster than writing a transition or caption style from scratch.

How do I install hyperframes-registry?

Use the install box above. It installs the four core HyperFrames skills together, and the skill needs the HyperFrames CLI (run through npx) to search and install items.

Does it send my prompt anywhere?

Search is local and sends nothing. Installing with add needs the network, even for an item you installed before.

Can I edit the installed effects?

Yes. An installed item is ordinary source in your project. Change it, cut it down and point its colors and fonts at your brand.

Is hyperframes-registry safe?

It is text and examples with no scripts, and all three skills.sh audits pass. add writes files into your project, so review what it adds.

How does this fit with the other HyperFrames skills?

The hyperframes skill builds the video and tells the assistant to search here before hand-writing an effect. The HyperFrames plugin bundles them together.
