HyperFrames Registry

The registry provides reusable blocks and components installable via hyperframes add <name>.

• Blocks, standalone sub-compositions (own dimensions, duration, timeline). Included via data-composition-src in a host composition.
• Components, effect snippets (no own dimensions). Pasted directly into a host composition's HTML.

When to use this skill

• User mentions hyperframes add, "block", "component", or hyperframes.json
• Output from hyperframes add appears in the session (file paths, clipboard snippet)
• You need to wire an installed item into an existing composition
• You want to discover what's available in the registry

Quick reference

hyperframes add data-chart              # install a block
hyperframes add grain-overlay           # install a component
hyperframes add shimmer-sweep --dir .   # target a specific project
hyperframes add data-chart --json       # machine-readable output
hyperframes add data-chart --no-clipboard  # skip clipboard (CI/headless)

After install, the CLI prints which files were written and a snippet to paste into your host composition. The snippet is a starting point, you'll need to add data-composition-id (must match the block's internal composition ID), data-start, and data-track-index attributes when wiring blocks.

Note: hyperframes add only works for blocks and components. For examples, use hyperframes init <dir> --example <name> instead.

Install locations

Blocks install to compositions/<name>.html by default. Components install to compositions/components/<name>.html by default.

These paths are configurable in hyperframes.json:

{
  "registry": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/main/registry",
  "paths": {
    "blocks": "compositions",
    "components": "compositions/components",
    "assets": "assets"
  }
}

See install-locations.md for full details.
