Install the HyperFrames plugin

Install video creation skills as one versioned plugin and let your agent manage updates.

The HyperFrames plugin gives your coding agent the complete set of video workflows: product promos, explainers, captions, motion graphics, and more. Skills load when needed; you do not have to install each workflow separately.

Choose one installation method per agent. Plugins receive updates through the agent’s plugin manager. Standalone skills remain available for OpenCode and other agents, or when you prefer the smaller core-only install.

Agent	Installation route
Claude Code	HyperFrames’ GitHub marketplace
Copilot CLI	HyperFrames’ GitHub marketplace
VS Code / Copilot	Add the GitHub marketplace in the Extensions view
Cursor	Import through a team marketplace, or load a local plugin
Gemini CLI	Install the HyperFrames extension from GitHub
Codex	Use your existing HyperFrames plugin; directory updates are published separately
OpenCode	Use standalone skills

You need Node.js 22+ and npm for the local CLI, plus FFmpeg for rendering. Install on each machine you use; a plugin does not synchronize your machines.

Claude Code

Run in your terminal:

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

The inventory should include hyperframes, general-video, and media-use. Start a new session or run /reload-plugins, then try:

Using /hyperframes:hyperframes, make a 5-second title card that says "Hello world".

Enable automatic updates: run /plugin, open Marketplaces, select hyperframes, and choose Enable auto-update. Third-party marketplaces do not enable this by default. To update manually:

claude plugin update hyperframes@hyperframes

Reload plugins after updating. To remove the plugin:

claude plugin uninstall hyperframes@hyperframes

See Claude’s plugin guide for project-wide installation and managed update policies.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
copilot plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes
copilot plugin list

Start a fresh session and ask Copilot to use the HyperFrames skill to make the same title card. Check /skills list if the skill is not visible.

copilot plugin update hyperframes
copilot plugin uninstall hyperframes

These are explicit updates; do not assume Copilot CLI shares VS Code’s update schedule. See Copilot’s plugin guide.

VS Code

Open the Extensions view and search @agentPlugins. Add heygen-com/hyperframes as a marketplace using the plugin marketplace command, then install hyperframes and verify its skills in Agent Customizations. Agent plugins must be enabled in VS Code settings.

VS Code checks for updates every 24 hours when extensions.autoUpdate is enabled. Use Extensions: Check for Extension Updates for a manual check. Disable or uninstall the plugin from the Extensions view. See VS Code’s plugin guide for the current UI and workspace recommendations.

Cursor

For a team marketplace, import heygen-com/hyperframes in Dashboard → Plugins & MCPs and add the HyperFrames plugin. Teammates install it from Customize. GitHub marketplace auto-refresh requires the Cursor GitHub App and the marketplace’s Enable Auto Refresh setting.

For a local install, copy an extracted HyperFrames plugin folder to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/hyperframes, then reload Cursor and check Customize. The folder must contain plugin.json and skills/. Local copies require manual replacement to update; they do not subscribe to GitHub changes. Enterprise policy may disable local plugin imports. Remove the local folder to uninstall that copy.

This repository’s manifests are not proof of a public Cursor marketplace listing. Public listings and their updates go through Cursor review. See Cursor’s plugin guide for marketplace and local-install controls.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes --auto-update
gemini extensions list

Restart Gemini CLI and ask it to use the HyperFrames skill for the title card. To manage the extension explicitly:

gemini extensions update hyperframes
gemini extensions uninstall hyperframes

To stay on a specific release, install with --ref <release-tag> instead of --auto-update. Choose a release containing gemini-extension.json. See Gemini’s extension guide.

The embedded-captions workflow additionally needs project-local Sharp, Puppeteer with Chromium, and GSAP. Its skill includes the versioned installation command; keep those dependencies and their lockfile in the caption project. The plugin itself remains read-only and does not include browsers or model weights.

Versions and updates

The plugin bundles workflows from one source snapshot and runs the CLI version recorded in its manifest. Your agent should use its bundled plugin launcher; it should not run npx hyperframes skills update during a plugin workflow. Existing project dependencies, downloaded media, and external services have their own versions and are not frozen by the plugin.

Update behavior depends on the client and source ref. For example, Cursor GitHub Auto Refresh follows pushes to the tracked branch, so skill content can change without a new CLI version. The manifest pins the CLI version, not the installed skill commit. For a repeatable installation, keep a release tag or an extracted release archive and disable automatic updates. Install that same release on each machine. Git-based installs may download the full source repository. Release ZIPs contain only the plugin payload, but loading an extracted ZIP locally requires manual updates. Only releases with a hyperframes-agent-plugin.zip asset provide that portable ZIP.

Move from standalone skills or core-skills

Install the full plugin and verify its inventory first. In Claude, an older core-skills@hyperframes install can then be removed:

claude plugin uninstall core-skills@hyperframes

Use your standalone skill manager to remove only the old HyperFrames skills for that agent. Inspect the locations first: other agents may share a global skills store, and locally edited skills should be backed up. Do not delete an entire .agents or .claude directory. Restart the agent and confirm it selects the plugin copy rather than a duplicate standalone skill.

If a workflow is missing or stale

1. Check the agent’s installed plugin inventory and version.
2. Update using that agent’s plugin manager, then reload or restart it.
3. Check whether an old standalone installation is also being loaded.
4. For a pinned release, verify the workflow exists in that release. Do not mix skills from a newer release into the plugin folder.
