general-video

An agent skill by heygen-com, from heygen-com/hyperframes. Tags: automation, design, generative, video.

What it does

Author or edit a custom HyperFrames composition when no specialized workflow fits, or when BRIEF.md sets flow: companion. Use for longer or multi-scene pieces, brand and sizzle reels, montages, static loops, static title cards, footage remixes, and freeform builds. Use motion-graphics instead for a short unnarrated motion-first unit, including an animated title. Route fresh creation through hyperframes before using this skill.

Install

With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill general-video

Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes
cp -r hyperframes/skills/general-video ~/.claude/skills/general-video

Safety box score

Grade C, moderate risk: 40 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-19. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.

This skill is a workflow wrapper around `npx hyperframes` that scaffolds, validates, and packages video compositions, and it can also branch into authenticated media-provider flows. The main risks are remote package execution/network access from repeated `npx` use, plus writes to project files and generated artifacts; it does not ask for sudo or shell persistence.

Category levels, from 0 (none) to 3 (high)
CategoryLevelWhy
Code & shell execution2 (moderate)It repeatedly runs external code with `npx hyperframes ...` (usage, update, init, auth, lint/check), so installing the skill grants registry-backed command execution when the workflow is used.
Network access2 (moderate)The workflow depends on networked `npx` invocations and authenticated provider steps (`npx hyperframes auth status`, media/provider setup), so it can contact remote services and fetch packages.
Filesystem reach1 (low)It writes generated files inside the project tree, including `videos/<project>`, `BRIEF.md`, `.hyperframes/frame-packets/*`, and scene sidecars; that is bounded but does modify local project files.
Secrets & credentials2 (moderate)Before the first authenticated provider action it requires `npx hyperframes auth status` and follows provider-auth setup, which can touch CLI login/session state even though it does not ask for raw secrets.
Privilege & persistence0 (none)There is no sudo, service registration, shell-profile editing, or other system-privilege escalation in the shipped files.
Instruction hijack surface1 (low)Some branches push the agent to proceed with limited questioning (`Ask no brief questions`, `--non-interactive`, `Do not ask the user to name a mode`), but there is no hidden prompt or explicit instruction to ignore higher-priority rules.
Irreversible actions1 (low)The skill can scaffold, update, check, and prepare renderable compositions with limited human intervention, but it still pauses for approval before render and does not itself publish or send content externally.
Transparency1 (low)Major behavior is delegated to external `hyperframes` packages and referenced docs not shipped here, so a reviewer cannot inspect the full implementation from this bundle alone.
