What this skill does

  1. 1Takes 3-5 key messages from the user (required — the user writes them), then maps a 4-section structure: Cold Open (impact stat, no brand name), Build (message flashes), Peak (strongest message at max scale), Land (brand + CTA).
  2. 2Declares the full rhythm pattern in a comment before writing any HTML, computing all cut timing in milliseconds from section constants.
  3. 3Generates a HyperFrames HTML composition using GSAP timelines registered as paused, with deterministic seeded PRNG for grain and no Math.random() calls.
  4. 4Renders via npx hyperframes render to MP4 at 9:16 or 16:9, with optional beat-sync cuts when a music file or BPM string is provided.
