hyperframes-core
HyperFrames HTML kompozisyon sözleşmesi. Kompozisyon yapısı, veri nitelikleri, klipler, parçalar, alt kompozisyonlar, değişkenler, medya oynatımı, deterministik render kuralları ve minimum render edilebilir projelerin doğrulaması için kullanılır.

HyperFrames renders video from HTML. A composition is an HTML file whose DOM declares timing with data-* attributes, whose animation runtime is seekable, and whose media playback is owned by the framework.
This skill is the technical contract — how to build one hyperframes project. The body below is the build guide; per-topic detail lives in references/ (index next), read on demand. Other concerns live in the sibling domain skills — hyperframes-animation, hyperframes-creative, media-use, hyperframes-cli, hyperframes-registry. The capability map in /hyperframes says what each one covers.

Building a composition
Two root forms (not interchangeable)
- Standalone (top-level
index.html) — root<div data-composition-id="…">sits directly in<body>, no<template>wrapper (wrapping it hides all content and breaks rendering). - Sub-composition (loaded via
data-composition-src) — root must be wrapped in<template>.
⚠ Transport rule: the runtime only clones
<template>contents; everything outside (incl.<head>styles/scripts) is discarded — put<style>/<script>inside the template. ⚠ Host-id rule: the host slot'sdata-composition-idmust exactly equal the inner template'sdata-composition-idand thewindow.__timelines["<id>"]key — no-mount/-slot/-hostsuffix.
File shape, host wiring, and the pre-render checklist → references/sub-compositions.md.
Root must be sized (silent layout bug)
The standalone root needs an explicit sized box (width/height in px), and every ancestor down to a height:100% element must have a resolved height — otherwise a flex/100% child collapses to ~0 and content piles into the top-left corner. Do not rely on automated gates alone to catch this; inspect a snapshot. Skeleton → references/minimal-composition.md.
One paused timeline
Each composition registers exactly one gsap.timeline({ paused: true }) at window.__timelines["<id>"] (key = root data-composition-id), built synchronously at page load. Render duration = root data-duration, not timeline length. Don't manually nest sub-timelines into the host. Full contract (incl. non-GSAP runtimes) → references/determinism-rules.md + hyperframes-animation/adapters/.
First-pass lint gotchas (a guaranteed first build failure)
Two rules that lint does catch, but only after the fact — write them right the first time:
- The root composition element must carry
data-start="0"(alongsidedata-composition-id/data-width/data-height); omitting it failslintwithroot_composition_missing_data_start. - Never pair a CSS initial
transformwith a GSAP tween on the same property — the CSS value and the tween's start fight andlintrejects it withgsap_css_transform_conflict. Set the initial state inside the tween withgsap.fromTo(el, { x: -40 }, { x: 0 })instead of a CSStransform: translateX(-40px).
Non-negotiable rules (silent bugs automated gates may miss)
Surfaced here; full rationale in the linked reference. Do not violate:
- No render-time clocks / unseeded
Math.random/ network / input-state; norepeat: -1(use a finite count). →determinism-rules.md - Animate only the visual-property allowlist; never tween
displayor rawvisibility. GSAPautoAlphaand zero-duration timeline boundary sets are the only visibility exceptions, and only on non-clip elements or wrappers inside a clip. The framework alone controls.clipvisibility. Do notgsap.setlater-scene clips at page load. →determinism-rules.md - No
<br>in body text; transformed elements must be block-level + sized; pulsing absolute decoratives need peak clearance. →determinism-rules.md <video>/<audio>work at any nesting depth (including inside a sub-comp<template>or wrapper); the framework owns playback and seeks/decodes media wherever it lives. The one caveat is timelines, not placement: a sub-comp timeline can't animate host-root elements. →variables-and-media.md- Every
idmust be unique across the assembled page; inside a sub-comp, prefix ids with the composition id (#<id>-hero). Duplicate<video>/<img>ids render blank — the producer injects frames bygetElementById, and cross-file dupes slip pastlint. →composition-patterns.md - A full-screen scene fill goes on a full-bleed child (
position:absolute; inset:0), never on the composition root itself — the producer's frame compositing can drop the root element's ownbackground(the frame renders black) even though preview/snapshotshow it correctly. →composition-patterns.md
Editing existing compositions
- Read the files first. Preserve unrelated timing, tracks, IDs, variables, media paths.
- Match existing composition IDs and timeline keys.
- Adding a clip: pick a non-overlapping
data-track-indexor adjust surrounding timing intentionally. data-hiddenon any composition element hides it in BOTH preview and render, overriding its time window; it is non-destructive/reversible and toggled by Studio's timeline eye icon.- Adding a sub-composition: verify its internal
data-composition-idbefore wiring the host.
Validation
Use hyperframes-cli for command details
-
npx hyperframes checkpasses (0 findings across lint, runtime, layout, motion, and contrast) - Projects with sub-compositions:
npx hyperframes snapshot --at <midpoints>and eyeball each frame -
npx hyperframes previewfor review (the user can edit anything in Studio's timeline) -
npx hyperframes renderonly after the user approves
