 ### Error output as untrusted data
 
 Its rule that error messages, stack traces, and logs are data to analyze, and that a command, URL, or step inside them goes to the user. Adopted in phase 1 step 1, in the red flags, and in the closing checklist, with reading the error in full left intact.
 
+## The external-cause step
+
+This is a measured case rather than an outside source. When a CI job failed on a system package install, the first fix wrapped the install in a retry. Reruns then got an archive cache to cut their cost, which was reverted. The cause was a degraded package mirror, and the handling that fit was to route around the mirror.
+
+- The old section named retry first, so the retry went in without asking whether the dependency could be avoided
+- The new step asks whether handling routes around the cause, whether it retries into it, and what absorbing the failure costs, before it names retry

 - **The six-step spine.** The source orders reproduce, localize, reduce, fix, guard, verify. Other skills cite "phase 1" and the three-attempt stop by name, so the four phases stay.

+
+# Outside tools
+
+Two canon skills hand work to a tool canon does not ship. Plain `canon` installs neither, so a machine that never films the app or picks a design never pulls them in.
+
+| Tool        | Used by       | What it does there                                         |
+| ----------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| HyperFrames | `ui-film`     | Composes, captions, and renders the takes `ui-film` films  |
+| Frameboard  | `design-pick` | Serves the board the design arms are drawn on and selected |
+
+A skill checks that its tool is present and names the install when it is missing. It never installs or updates a tool itself. `ui-film` films the takes either way and stops at the handoff when HyperFrames is absent.
+
+## Install both
+
+The `canon-media` plugin carries no skills of its own. It depends on `canon`, `hyperframes`, and `frameboard`, so installing it installs all three. Add the three marketplaces first, since Claude Code resolves a dependency only from a marketplace you have added:
+
+```bash
+claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/erclx/canon
+claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
+claude plugin marketplace add erclx/frameboard
+claude plugin install canon-media@canon
+```
+
+Inside a session, `/plugin install canon-media@canon` does the same once the marketplaces are added. Restart Claude Code, or run `/reload-plugins`, to load the skills.
+
+To take one tool alone, install `hyperframes@hyperframes` or `frameboard@frameboard` from its own marketplace instead of the bundle.
+
+## Keep them current
+
+Neither tool is pinned. Claude Code's plugin manager owns each plugin's updates, and ships auto-update off for a third-party marketplace, so turn it on once per marketplace under `/plugin` in the Marketplaces tab. Updating by hand runs the same two steps per plugin that [target sync](sync.md) gives for canon.
+
+- HyperFrames runs its CLI through the plugin's own launcher at the plugin's version, so updating the plugin moves the CLI with it
+- `design-pick` uses a `frameboard` binary on your PATH when one is there, and otherwise runs `bunx -y frameboard` at the latest published release
+- A standalone copy of the HyperFrames skills under `~/.claude/skills/` updates apart from the plugin and can lag its layout, so remove it once the plugin is installed
