The GSAP family README described HyperFrames as a 'future' engine ('if the
parallel HyperFrames engine gets wired in', 'becomes a day-1 skill', 'Future
hyperframes_compose tool — if added'). Every other artifact (AGENT_GUIDE.md,
skills/core/hyperframes.md, skills/INDEX.md) treats HyperFrames as a fully
production composition runtime, and hyperframes_compose is a registered tool.
Update the HyperFrames references to present-tense production reality. Also add
a scope note: this directory has no SKILL.md and is not a loadable skill — it
is a navigation map for the sibling gsap-* skills, which removes the ambiguity
about why it is not loadable via agent_skills[].
Closes#61
Three skill directories ship a long-form upstream AGENTS.md alongside their
loadable SKILL.md:
.agents/skills/flux-best-practices/AGENTS.md
.agents/skills/vercel-composition-patterns/AGENTS.md
.agents/skills/vercel-react-best-practices/AGENTS.md
None were referenced by their parent SKILL.md, skills/INDEX.md, AGENT_GUIDE.md,
or any pipeline manifest, leaving their authority scope undefined relative to
the repository-root AGENTS.md (override / extend / ignore?).
Reference each from its SKILL.md with explicit scope: the AGENTS.md is
supplementary upstream reference material for that skill only, SKILL.md is the
loadable entry point and the authority, and it does not override or extend the
root AGENTS.md / AGENT_GUIDE.md. Preserves the vendored content while removing
the ambiguity.
Refs #61
runway (estimate_cost/estimate_runtime/execute) defaulted to gen4_turbo and
higgsfield (execute) defaulted to kling_3.0, while both schemas advertise
seedance_2.0 as model.default. Omitting model under-quoted cost (runway 6x:
$0.25 vs $1.50) and silently generated a different model than advertised,
violating the Decision-Communication / cost-accuracy contract.
Root cause was a default duplicated across schema + 3 methods that drifted.
Collapse it to a single _DEFAULT_MODEL constant referenced everywhere.
Add tests/tools/test_provider_model_defaults.py to lock each tool's
estimate default to its schema default and guard the execute path.
The video-reference-analyst capability audit pre-locked Remotion as the
default composition engine ('Remotion is the default ... Never default to
FFmpeg when Remotion is available'). Because the analyst skill runs first
in any reference-led flow, this silently locked the runtime before the user
was ever offered a choice — violating the 'Present Both Composition Runtimes
(HARD RULE)' in AGENT_GUIDE.md, which forbids silently picking a default and
treats Remotion and HyperFrames as parallel, non-ranked runtimes.
It also omitted HyperFrames from the engine list entirely, so it was never
surfaced as an option in the reference-led path.
Update Step 2 (Capability Audit) to:
- add HyperFrames to the audited runtime list
- remove the 'Remotion is the default / preferred' framing
- defer engine selection to the AGENT_GUIDE 'Present Both' gate
- keep FFmpeg scoped to standalone ops, not composition
Closes#60
tools/video/green_screen_composite.py imports numpy at module level (and
declares "python:numpy" as a dependency), but numpy was missing from
requirements.txt. Because registry.discover() imports every tool module,
a fresh `make setup` followed by the mandatory preflight crashes with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'. Add numpy>=1.24.
Also gitignore *.onnx/*.onnx.json so Piper TTS voice models fetched at
runtime (e.g. en_US-lessac-medium.onnx, ~60MB) aren't accidentally
committed to the repo root.

The repo had no .github issue or PR templates, so bug reports arrived
with inconsistent detail and questions landed on the tracker instead of
Discussions.
Add GitHub community templates:
- ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml: structured form (OS, pipeline, runtime,
repro, expected vs actual, logs)
- ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml: problem / solution / alternatives
- ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml: disables blank issues and routes questions,
ideas, and show-and-tell to the existing Discussions categories
- PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: summary, linked issue, testing, checklist
Additive only; no source changes.
Closes#189
On Windows, passing --props and the JSON path as two separate CLI
arguments causes Remotion to mis-parse the value due to platform quote
escaping, failing with "neither valid JSON nor a file path to a valid
JSON file". Switch to the --props=<path> equals form, which Remotion
recommends for file paths and which works consistently across
platforms.
Fixes#172
tests/qa/test_08_end_to_end.py runs at module import, so pytest fails
collection with CheckpointValidationError: the Stage 5 edit_decisions
fixture omits render_runtime, which edit_decisions.schema.json lists as
required. Per AGENT_GUIDE the runtime is locked at proposal and carried
through edit unchanged, so the fixture now sources it from the same
proposal_packet["production_plan"]["render_runtime"] ("remotion")
instead of hardcoding an unrelated value, keeping the fixture internally
consistent with the proposal it builds on.
Google's TTS and Imagen tools advertised service-account auth
(GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) but only ever authenticated with an API
key string, so users with a service-account JSON could not use either tool.
google_tts.get_status() also over-reported availability when the JSON was
set, then failed at execute() — a silent-availability bug.
Separately, both hand-rolled _load_dotenv parsers kept inline comments as
values, so after `cp .env.example .env` every keyed tool falsely reported
"available" with no real credentials.
Changes:
- Add tools/google_credentials.py: lazy google-auth Bearer-token helper.
- google_tts: authenticate via Cloud TTS Bearer token when only a service
account is configured; make get_status() honest.
- google_imagen: route service-account auth to Vertex AI
({location}-aiplatform.googleapis.com) with project/location resolution,
alongside the existing AI Studio API-key path.
- Fix both _load_dotenv parsers to strip inline comments (quote-aware).
- Add google-auth to requirements; document the new env vars in .env.example.
- .gitignore: never commit GCP service-account key files.
Verified locally with a real service account: TTS produced a valid MP3 and
Imagen produced a valid 1408x768 PNG via Vertex AI. Existing test suite
passes (2 unrelated pre-existing failures only).
Closes#131

ARCHITECTURE.md said `npx @hyperframes/cli` but that scoped package
is a 404. The published npm package is `hyperframes`, consumed as
`npx hyperframes`. hyperframes_compose.py already documents this
distinction in its _NPM_PACKAGE constant and install_instructions.
ToolRegistry exposes get(name) but source_media_review called the
non-existent get_tool(name) in four places — audio_probe (×2),
frame_sampler, and transcriber. All four renamed to .get().
Lines 219 and 227 imported upload_image_fal from _shared but called
the non-existent upload_image_to_fal, raising a NameError whenever
image_to_video or reference_to_video used local image paths.
Adds a transcript_comparison check to VideoCompose._run_final_review
that word-diffs the whisper/whisperx transcript against script.txt and
fails loudly when the TTS engine literally voiced punctuation tokens
(dot, dots, ellipsis, comma, dash, hyphen, period). Chirp3-HD did this
to ellipses in a production run and it slipped past review; now it
cannot.
Also corrects the "tiny background video" gotcha in
skills/core/hyperframes.md. After six renders of blaming HyperFrames
CSS, the real root cause was 640x360 Pexels sources combined with a
fit-and-pad pre-transform — HyperFrames was rendering the letterboxed
input faithfully. Gotcha now walks through the ffprobe diagnostic and
the scale-to-cover fix, and keeps the wrapper-div pattern for the
right reasons (aspect mismatch handling, not framework bug workaround).
Four regression tests cover the new check: punctuation-leak detection,
clean-audio false-positive guard, graceful skip when inputs missing,
and always-present transcript_comparison section.
Surfaces six real traps an agent learns the expensive way: full-frame
videos need BOTH HTML width/height attrs AND `!important` CSS because
the runtime applies inline size from intrinsic dimensions; preview-scrub
matters more than a 60-minute render for visual bugs; legibility comes
from scrims + text-shadow, not from lowering video opacity; downloaded
stock needs dense keyframes (-g 30) before render or parallel capture
times out; --workers 1 is mandatory for video-heavy compositions; the
deterministic-font compiler silently replaces unmapped families like
Space Grotesk, use Outfit/Inter/JetBrains Mono/Poppins instead. Each
gotcha documented with the fix-at-author-time pattern so the next agent
ships a clean first render.
Separates creative grammar (renderer_family) from technical engine
(render_runtime) so HyperFrames can stand alongside Remotion as a
first-class runtime instead of masquerading as a Remotion sub-case.
Locks runtime choice at proposal stage and enforces it end-to-end: the
schemas require it, video_compose routes by it, the reviewer fails
closed on silent swaps, and a parametrized contract test walks every
pipeline manifest to ensure each planning-stage skill explains the
conversation to the user. Adds hyperframes_compose (scaffold/lint/
validate/render/doctor/add_block), a playbook -> CSS style bridge, and
vendored HyperFrames Layer 3 skills from commit d291358, pinned via
PROVENANCE.md for future re-sync. Final_review now records
render_runtime_used and runtime_swap_detected so compose lies are
catchable after the fact.
Expands the Seedance 2.0 surface from fal.ai-only to every gateway the
OpenMontage toolset can reach, so users on Replicate / Runway /
Higgsfield automatically route cinematic briefs through Seedance 2.0
instead of the gateway's prior default.
- tools/video/seedance_replicate (new): REPLICATE_API_TOKEN adapter for
bytedance/seedance-2.0 and bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast. Same provider
family ("seedance"), quality_score=0.95, premium capability flags.
- tools/video/runway_video: add seedance_2.0 / seedance_2.0_fast to the
model enum as the new default, flag native_audio + multi_shot +
camera_direction + lip_sync in supports, point agent_skills at
seedance-2-0 Layer 3 skill. Note Runway Unlimited/Enterprise + non-US
gating in the model description.
- tools/video/higgsfield_video: same pattern. seedance_2.0 is now the
default model. Cost estimates calibrated to Higgsfield credit pricing
(~$0.50-$1.20 per 5s).
- tools/video/_shared: annotate HEYGEN_PROVIDERS seedance_pro/lite as
Seedance 1.x (2.0 on HeyGen flows through Video Agent / Avatar Shots
which need a separate wrapper — tracked as follow-up).
- .agents/skills/seedance-2-0: update provider matrix to show which
gateways are wrapped (fal.ai, Replicate, Runway, Higgsfield) vs. which
are still roadmap (HeyGen Video Agent, BytePlus, Freepik, aggregators).
The scoring engine already deduplicates by provider="seedance" so
whichever gateway the user has configured wins automatically. Agents
passing preferred_provider="seedance" to video_selector route to the
best available Seedance 2.0 path without naming a specific gateway.
Seedance 2.0 is now routed as the top-ranked video generator whenever a
premium gateway is available. Touches the tool layer, scoring engine,
cinematic pipeline, and both skill layers so discovery works from every
entry point.
- tools/video/seedance_video: BETA stability, quality_score=0.95, add
reference_to_video operation plus 9 img + 3 vid + 3 audio ceilings,
fix pre-existing upload_image_fal import
- tools/base_tool: surface optional quality_score / success_rate /
latency fields in get_info so the scorer can read them
- lib/scoring: fix reliability enum-vs-string bug that was pinning every
available tool to 0.0, switch to overlap coefficient so rich best_for
descriptions aren't penalized, add premium-cinematic feature bonus
- pipeline_defs/cinematic + cinematic asset-director: add pixabay_music
and freesound_music, restore pixabay-first music default
- cinematic compose-director: mandatory Remotion preflight at stage entry
- New Layer 3 .agents/skills/seedance-2-0/SKILL.md (8-part prompt
structure, multi-shot, lip-sync, reference-to-video, provider landscape)
- New Layer 2 skills/creative/prompting/seedance-prompting.md
- Update ai-video-gen, video-gen-prompting, AGENT_GUIDE, INDEX to flag
Seedance 2.0 as the preferred premium default and make the skill
discoverable from every routing path
