feat(skills): product-launch-video skill + consolidate motion knowledge into hyperframes-animation

[WaterrrForever]

Summary

Adds the product-launch-video skill and consolidates HyperFrames' motion knowledge so that hyperframes-animation is the single source of truth for atomic motion rules and multi-phase scene blueprints. product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, and pr-to-video now reference that shared library instead of carrying duplicate copies.

What changed

New skill — product-launch-video

• Shot-sequence architecture: every visual frame is authored as a time-coded shot sequence picked from a blueprint menu and paced to the voiceover — the anti-"animated slide deck" mechanism — so frames develop across their full duration instead of freezing after entrance.
• Ships the frame-worker sub-agent, story / visual / motion-design references, and the audio · captions · transitions · stage-assets · assemble-index scripts.

Consolidation into hyperframes-animation (single source of truth)

• Promoted the updated atomic rules (31 → 36; adds ambient-glow-bloom, depth-of-field-blur, depth-scatter-assemble, motion-blur-streak, spring-pop-entrance).
• Renamed product-launch-video's archetypes into hyperframes-animation blueprints (13 → 15, replacing the previous set) and regenerated blueprints-index.md / rules-index.md.
• product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, and pr-to-video now reference ../hyperframes-animation/{rules,blueprints}-index.md (matching the existing sibling-skill convention) — no duplicated rule/blueprint content.
• Fixed pre-existing broken discrete-text-sequence cross-links.

Other

• TTS — the default HeyGen voice is now Marcia, resolved deterministically. Previously the engine picked the API's first English voice, which drifts whenever the public catalog re-sorts. Override with --voice.
• assemble-index frame guards (run in the file-read pass, so common lint failures surface before a wasted render): auto-repair a sub-comp root missing canvas dims; hard-fail on <video>/<audio> inside a sub-composition; hard-fail on a timed non-root element missing class="clip" or on overlapping same-track clips.
• Lint / CLI — lint media inside sub-compositions as an error; stop false-positive caption layout/lint findings; contrast- and layout-audit skip elements hidden by an invisible ancestor.

Notable / behavior changes

• Blueprints no longer ship per-id runnable examples/<id>.html (the new blueprints are template-style). The now-invalid example references in the consumer skills were dropped accordingly.
• A few loose doc cross-references inside rule/blueprint bodies (e.g. 3d.md, references/typography.md) are pre-existing and intentionally left unchanged.

Verification

• rules-index.md ↔ rules/ : 36 ↔ 36 consistent · blueprints-index.md ↔ blueprints/ : 15 ↔ 15 consistent.
• All cross-skill read paths in product-launch-video resolve; no new dangling links.
• oxlint · oxfmt · typecheck · commitlint all pass (pre-commit hooks green).

Review — 188527f

Thorough read of the full diff (66 files, +3804/−2976). This is a substantial PR covering three areas: (1) the new product-launch-video shot-sequence architecture, (2) consolidation of motion knowledge into hyperframes-animation as the single source of truth, and (3) several lint/audit false-positive fixes. Overall the code is well-structured with good comments. Here are my findings:

---

CI: Skills: manifest in sync is failing

The skills manifest is out of date. 5 skills need regeneration:

bun run --cwd packages/cli gen:skills-manifest

Commit the updated skills-manifest.json. This is a required check blocker.

---

Code findings

1. contrast-audit.browser.js — ancestor visibility: hidden check is redundant (nitpick, not blocking)

The ancestor walk checks acs.visibility === "hidden", but visibility is an inherited CSS property — getComputedStyle(el).visibility on the child already returns "hidden" when any ancestor sets it (unless a child explicitly overrides to visible). The existing per-element check on L89 already catches this. The ancestor walk is still valuable for opacity (the real karaoke issue) and display: none (defense-in-depth for elements in a display:none subtree that still appear in querySelectorAll results), so this is a nitpick, not a bug. Could simplify by checking only opacity and display in the walk, but it is not worth changing.

2. layout-audit.browser.js — parsePx is referenced but not shown in the diff

The new code at the text-overflow vertical tolerance calls parsePx(elementStyle.fontSize). I trust this function exists in the file already (it is not new), but worth a sanity check that it handles the "36px" → 36 conversion correctly and returns a finite number, since it feeds into Math.max(tolerance, ... * 0.2). If parsePx returns NaN or undefined, Math.max would produce NaN and the overflow check would silently pass everything. Low risk since this function is presumably well-established.

3. captions.ts — isCaptionComposition gating looks correct but is heuristic-dependent

The three signals (file path contains "caption", rootCompositionId === "captions", styles matching .caption-* / .cg- patterns) are reasonable, but a composition that genuinely needs the caption_exit_missing_hard_kill check could be missed if it uses unconventional class names. The test covers the false-positive case well. Acceptable trade-off given the alternative (flooding content frames with false positives).

4. media.ts — media_in_subcomposition rule is clean

Good addition. Catches <video>/<audio> inside sub-compositions early at lint time rather than letting them render as blank/black. The test covers both the positive (sub-comp) and negative (host-root) cases. The error message and fix hint are helpful.

5. assemble-index.mjs — guardFrame comment/script stripping is sound but could mask edge cases

The scan variable strips <!-- comments --> and <script>/<style> bodies before checking for <video>/<audio> tags and timed elements. This prevents false positives from comments mentioning <video>. However, the regex /<script\b[\s\S]*?<\/script>/gi uses a non-greedy match, which is correct for typical HTML but could theoretically mismatch on </script> appearing inside a string literal in a script. In practice, HyperFrames compositions are machine-generated with predictable structure, so this is fine.

6. assemble-index.mjs — ensureBgmCovers uses spawnSync correctly

The ffprobe/ffmpeg fallback is well-designed — degrades gracefully when tools are absent, never hard-fails assembly. The loop-extend approach with fade-in/fade-out is sensible. One minor note: "-stream_loop", "-1" creates infinite loops — the -t flag correctly truncates, so this is safe.

7. build-frame.mjs — dark-mode brand polarity inversion is the most complex logic change

The polarity-aware color mapping (invert = presetGroundDark !== brandGroundDark) and the flipL lightness mirror are well thought out. The semantic status color preservation (positive/negative/success/error) via regex is a smart addition — prevents brand-repainting from turning a red "error" indicator into brand-blue.

The neutral preservation (chroma < 16 → keep neutral with whisper of brand hue at sat <= 0.06) fixes the reported issue where grey text ladders were getting fully saturated. Good.

The remapRgbaToAccent function for rgba() values fills a gap where non-hex colors were previously left as-is. The neutral-overlay detection (max - min < 16) is a reasonable threshold.

8. build-frame.mjs — isIconFont and isMonoFont are string-based heuristics

These regex checks cover a wide range of known icon/mono font names. If a brand uses a font not in these patterns, it would be misclassified. Acceptable risk — the alternative (a canonical database) is overkill.

9. build-frame.mjs — ink/canvas contrast check relaxed from polarity to separation

Changed from li >= lc (ink must be darker than canvas) to Math.abs(li - lc) < 40 (they must differ by at least 40 luminance). This correctly supports dark-mode brands where ink is lighter than canvas. The threshold of 40 is reasonable for readability.

10. tokens.mjs — pickAccent now uses role diversity + palette prominence

The accent selection is much improved — ranking by role diversity (appears in link + icon + button vs. just one CTA) and palette prominence (earlier in frequency-ordered palette = more prominent) addresses the case where a one-off bright CTA was beating the pervasive brand color. The brandRolesFromStats signature change (adding colorsInOrder) is backward-compatible since the function returns null early if stats are empty.

11. captions.mjs — font path fix from ../ to root-relative

Changed "../assets/fonts" to "assets/fonts" and "../capture/assets/fonts" to "capture/assets/fonts". This fixes a real bug where ../ would escape the root and 404 in Studio/preview. Good catch.

12. captions.mjs — dark-ground caption contrast auto-fix

The lum < 90 threshold for detecting a dark caption canvas is reasonable. The CSS overrides for .caption-word states (upcoming/active/spoken) using color-mix and CSS custom properties are clean. Uses var(--cap-accent) for the active word highlight, which ties nicely to the brand.

13. tts.mjs — hardcoded Marcia voice ID

The default voice is now pinned to 05f19352e8f74b0392a8f411eba40de1 (Marcia) for English. This is deterministic, which is the goal. Non-English still falls back to the first matching catalog voice. If Marcia is ever removed from the HeyGen catalog, this would fail — but that is the correct behavior (fail loudly rather than silently picking a random voice).

Skill/doc content (spot-checked)

• Blueprint and rule indexes are consistent (15 blueprints, 36 rules as stated).
• Cross-skill references (../hyperframes-animation/{rules,blueprints}-index.md) follow the sibling-skill convention already used by faceless-explainer and pr-to-video.
• The examples/<id>.html references have been cleaned up consistently across consumer skills.
• The frame-worker sub-agent instructions are updated to match the new shot-sequence architecture.
• The new cut-catalog.md reference provides concrete GSAP patterns for within-scene transitions.

---

Test coverage

• layout-audit.browser.test.ts: Two new tests for glyph-ink vertical tolerance (within band = no flag, beyond band = flag). Good.
• captions.test.ts: Test for false positive on content frame mentioning "karaoke" in a comment. Good.
• media.test.ts: Tests for media_in_subcomposition rule — sub-comp flagged, host-root not flagged. Good.

---

Verdict

Approve with one required fix: regenerate the skills manifest (bun run --cwd packages/cli gen:skills-manifest and commit). The code changes are solid — the dark-mode brand handling, false-positive lint fixes, and motion knowledge consolidation are all well-reasoned with appropriate test coverage. No correctness bugs found.

Additive review on top of <https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/1745#pullrequestreview-4581586216|Miga's pass>. Miga covered the priority-1 code surface (captions.ts, media.ts, layout-audit, contrast-audit, assemble-index.mjs, build-frame.mjs, tokens.mjs, captions.mjs, tts.mjs) thoroughly — verified their findings + adding two structural verifications they didn't deep-dive.

CI blocker (Miga also flagged)

Skills: manifest in sync is failing. bun run --cwd packages/cli gen:skills-manifest + commit the updated skills-manifest.json. This is the only required-check blocker on the PR.

Additive — consolidation integrity verified (the load-bearing claim)

The PR body says "consolidate motion knowledge into hyperframes-animation as the single source of truth," and replaces 13 master-state blueprints with 15 new ones. Walked the consolidation to confirm motion knowledge from each removed blueprint genuinely survives in the new shape:

Removed blueprint (master)	Where its motion knowledge consolidated
brand-reveal-assemble-zoom	absorbed into logo-assemble-lockup.md
comparison-split-cards	renamed to comparison-split.md
concept-demo-decode-pan	absorbed into spatial-pan-stations.md
cta-orbit-collapse	absorbed into constellation-hub.md (also referenced by cursor-click-ripple rule)
demo-page-scroll-spotlight	absorbed into device-surface-showcase.md
hook-counter-burst	renamed/restructured to dataviz-countup.md
messaging-multi-phrase	absorbed into kinetic-type-beats.md (also referenced by dynamic-content-sequencing rule)
metric-video-text-pivot	renamed/restructured to video-text-pivot.md
problem-mockup-overwhelm	renamed to overwhelm-surround.md
proof-logo-chain	absorbed into constellation-hub.md (also referenced by avatar-cloud-network + hacker-flip-3d rules)
takeover-ticker-displace	renamed to ticker-takeover.md
workflow-approve-press	absorbed into cursor-ui-demo.md

Verification approach: git ls-tree _pr1745 skills/hyperframes-animation/blueprints/ vs origin/main for the delta, then git grep for each removed-blueprint name across the PR tree to confirm at least one new blueprint or rule references it (not silently dropped).

The 14 example HTML files in skills/hyperframes-animation/examples/ (keeping old blueprint names like brand-reveal-assemble-zoom.html, proof-logo-chain.html, etc.) are intentionally preserved as canonical motion references that the new blueprints + rules link to — not dangling.

Net: no motion knowledge is silently lost in the reshape. The consolidation claim is genuine.

Additive — product-launch-video integration depth verified

Confirmed skills/product-launch-video/ has no blueprints/ subdirectory — the new skill references shared hyperframes-animation rather than duplicating, matching the stated goal. Cross-references found in 8 files:

• SKILL.md — 1 reference (top-level "see hyperframes-animation for blueprints/rules")
• references/cut-catalog.md — 1
• references/motion-language.md — 1
• references/story-design.md — 1
• references/visual-design.md — 1 (Step-4 method is explicitly delegated here)
• scripts/lib/transition-registry.mjs — 1
• scripts/lib/transitions.json — 1
• sub-agents/frame-worker.md — 1

Healthy integration depth — the skill isn't a thin wrapper, it's genuinely reaching back into the shared library at each layer (skill spec, references, scripts, sub-agent).

Verdict

COMMENT — external author, routing through <@U08E7PV788Z> for any stamp/merge call per protocol. The CI manifest fix Miga flagged is the only blocker. Nothing additional from me blocks merge; the consolidation integrity + product-launch-video integration both verify clean.

R2 verification at 6b94b660 — both R1 blockers resolved cleanly:

• Skills manifest in sync — regenerated; CI now 52/52 green.
• CodeQL js/bad-tag-filter (high) — guardFrame's tag-blanking regex updated from <\/script> / <\/style> to <\/script[^>]*> / <\/style[^>]*> so closing tags with trailing whitespace (e.g. </script >) get caught too. The old shape would leave content un-blanked past </script >, defeating the lint guard's purpose. Correct fix.
• CodeQL js/file-system-race (high) — the if (!existsSync(compAbs)) { ... } let html = readFileSync(compAbs, "utf8") pattern (check-then-read TOCTOU window) replaced with try { html = readFileSync(compAbs, "utf8") } catch { ... }. Direct read + ENOENT handling closes the race. Correct fix.
• CodeQL open alerts on PR: 0.

No remaining blockers from my side. Still COMMENT (external author, stamp/merge routing through <@U08E7PV788Z>).

Re-review at 6b94b660

Previous review (at 188527f) flagged one CI blocker: Skills: manifest in sync was failing because skills-manifest.json wasn't regenerated after the skill changes. Miao pushed one new commit (6b94b660 — fix(skills): clear CodeQL alerts in assemble-index.mjs) and rebased the branch on main.

What changed since last review

Commit 6b94b660 addresses two CodeQL high-severity alerts:

1. js/bad-tag-filter — The guardFrame function's script/style blanking regex used <\/script> / <\/style> which misses closing tags with trailing whitespace like </script >. Fixed to <\/script[^>]*> / <\/style[^>]*>. Correct — the [^>]* class swallows any non-> bytes before the closing bracket, matching the tag regardless of extraneous whitespace or attributes.

2. js/file-system-race — The original code did if (!existsSync(compAbs)) { ... } let html = readFileSync(compAbs, "utf8") — a classic TOCTOU (time-of-check-to-time-of-use) race where the file could vanish between check and read. Replaced with try { html = readFileSync(compAbs, "utf8") } catch { ... } which reads directly and handles ENOENT in the catch. Clean fix, no behavior change beyond closing the race window.

Manifest regeneration — skills-manifest.json now included in the rebased first commit with updated hashes. The product-launch-video hash changed from d47b790f to dedfc10e in the fix commit (expected — the script file it checksums was modified).

CI status

All 52 checks passing, including:

• Skills: manifest in sync — pass (was the blocker, now resolved)
• CodeQL — pass, 0 open alerts
• All regression shards (8/8), build, typecheck, lint, format, tests — green across the board

Verdict

Both issues from the first review are resolved. The CodeQL fixes are straightforward and correct. No new concerns introduced. Ready for stamp + merge from the maintainer side.
