-description: Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (crossfades, wipes, reveals, shader transitions). Covers composition authoring, timing, media, and the full video production workflow. For dev-loop CLI commands (init, lint, inspect, preview, render) see the hyperframes-cli skill; for asset preprocessing commands (tts, transcribe, remove-background) see the hyperframes-media skill.

-# HyperFrames
-
-HTML is the source of truth for video. A composition is an HTML file with `data-*` attributes for timing, a GSAP timeline for animation, and CSS for appearance. The framework handles clip visibility, media playback, and timeline sync.
-
-## Approach
-
-### Discovery (exploratory requests only)
-
-For open-ended requests ("make me a product launch video", "create something for our brand") where the user hasn't committed to a direction, understand intent before picking colors:
-
-- **Audience** — who watches this? Developers? Executives? General consumers?
-- **Platform** — where does it play? Social (15s), website hero, product demo, internal?
-- **Priority** — what matters most? Motion quality? Content accuracy? Brand fidelity? Speed?
-- **Variations** — does the user want options, or a single best shot?
-
-For specific requests ("add a title card", "fix the timing on scene 3"), skip discovery.
-
-For exploratory requests, consider offering 2-3 variations that differ meaningfully — not just color swaps, but different pacing, energy levels, or structural approaches. One safe/expected, one ambitious. Don't mandate this — it's a tool available when appropriate.
-
-### Step 1: Design system
-
-If a design spec exists in the project, read it first. Look in precedence order: `frame.md` → `design.md` → `DESIGN.md` (`design.md` and `DESIGN.md` are different files on Linux — check both casings; `frame.md` is always lowercase, no `FRAME.md` variant). `frame.md` is the preferred spec for video/hyperframes projects and wins if more than one exists; it uses the same format as `design.md`. It's the source of truth for brand colors, fonts, and constraints. Use its exact values — don't invent colors or substitute fonts. Any format works (YAML frontmatter, prose, tables — just extract the values).
-
-If it names fonts you can't find locally (no `fonts/` directory with `.woff2` files, not a built-in font), warn the user before writing HTML: "the spec specifies [font name] but no font files found. Please add .woff2 files to `fonts/` or I'll fall back to [closest built-in alternative]."
-
-If no `frame.md` or `design.md` exists, offer the user a choice:
-
-1. **User named a style or mood?** → Read [visual-styles.md](./visual-styles.md) for the 8 named presets. Pick the closest match.
-2. **Want to browse options visually?** → Run the design picker: read [references/design-picker.md](references/design-picker.md) for the full workflow. This serves a visual picker page. The user configures mood, palette, typography, and motion in the browser, then copies the generated design.md and pastes it back into the conversation.
-3. **Want to skip and go fast?** → Ask: mood, light or dark, any brand colors/fonts? Then pick a palette from [house-style.md](./house-style.md).
-
-**The design spec defines the brand. It does not define video composition rules.** Those come from [references/video-composition.md](references/video-composition.md) and [house-style.md](./house-style.md). Use brand colors at video-appropriate scale — not at web-UI opacity.
-
-### Step 2: Prompt expansion
-
-Always run on every composition (except single-scene pieces and trivial edits). This step grounds the user's intent against the design spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) and `house-style.md` and produces a consistent intermediate that every downstream agent reads the same way.
-
-Read [references/prompt-expansion.md](references/prompt-expansion.md) for the full process and output format.
-
-### Step 3: Plan
-
-Before writing HTML, think at a high level:
-
-1. **What** — what should the viewer experience? Identify the narrative arc, key moments, and emotional beats.
-2. **Structure** — how many compositions, which are sub-compositions vs inline, what tracks carry what (video, audio, overlays, captions).
-3. **Rhythm** — declare your scene rhythm before implementing. Which scenes are quick hits, which are holds, where do shaders land, where does energy peak. Name the pattern: fast-fast-SLOW-fast-SHADER-hold. Read [references/beat-direction.md](references/beat-direction.md) for rhythm templates.
-4. **Timing** — which clips drive the duration, where do transitions land, what's the pacing.
-5. **Layout** — build the end-state first. See "Layout Before Animation" below.
-6. **Animate** — then add motion using the rules below.
-
-**Build what was asked.** A request for "a title card" is not a request for "a title card + 3 supporting scenes + ambient music + captions." Every scene, every element, every tween should earn its place. If additional scenes or elements would genuinely improve the piece, propose them — don't add them.
-
-For small edits (fix a color, adjust timing, add one element), skip straight to the rules.
-
-<HARD-GATE>
-Before writing ANY composition HTML — verify you have a visual identity from Step 1. If you're reaching for `#333`, `#3b82f6`, or `Roboto`, you skipped it.
-</HARD-GATE>
-
-## Layout Before Animation
-
-Position every element where it should be at its **most visible moment** — the frame where it's fully entered, correctly placed, and not yet exiting. Write this as static HTML+CSS first. No GSAP yet.
-
-**Why this matters:** If you position elements at their animated start state (offscreen, scaled to 0, opacity 0) and tween them to where you think they should land, you're guessing the final layout. Overlaps are invisible until the video renders. By building the end state first, you can see and fix layout problems before adding any motion.
-
-### The process
-
-1. **Identify the hero frame** for each scene — the moment when the most elements are simultaneously visible. This is the layout you build.
-2. **Write static CSS** for that frame. The `.scene-content` container MUST fill the full scene using `width: 100%; height: 100%; padding: Npx;` with `display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: Npx; box-sizing: border-box`. Use padding to push content inward — NEVER `position: absolute; top: Npx` on a content container. Absolute-positioned content containers overflow when content is taller than the remaining space. Reserve `position: absolute` for decoratives only.
-3. **Add entrances with `gsap.from()`** — animate FROM offscreen/invisible TO the CSS position. The CSS position is the ground truth; the tween describes the journey to get there. (In sub-compositions loaded via `data-composition-src`, prefer `gsap.fromTo()` — see load-bearing GSAP rules in [references/motion-principles.md](references/motion-principles.md).)
-4. **Add exits with `gsap.to()`** — animate TO offscreen/invisible FROM the CSS position.
-
-### Example
-
-```css
-/* scene-content fills the scene, padding positions content */
-.scene-content {
-  display: flex;
-  flex-direction: column;
-  justify-content: center;
-  width: 100%;
-  height: 100%;
-  padding: 120px 160px;
-  gap: 24px;
-  box-sizing: border-box;
-}
-.title {
-  font-size: 120px;
-}
-.subtitle {
-  font-size: 42px;
-}
-/* Container fills any scene size (1920x1080, 1080x1920, etc).
-   Padding positions content. Flex + gap handles spacing. */
-```
-
-**WRONG — hardcoded dimensions and absolute positioning:**
-
-```css
-.scene-content {
-  position: absolute;
-  top: 200px;
-  left: 160px;
-  width: 1920px;
-  height: 1080px;
-  display: flex; /* ... */
-}
-```
-
-```js
-// Step 3: Animate INTO those positions
-tl.from(".title", { y: 60, opacity: 0, duration: 0.6, ease: "power3.out" }, 0);
-tl.from(".subtitle", { y: 40, opacity: 0, duration: 0.5, ease: "power3.out" }, 0.2);
-tl.from(".logo", { scale: 0.8, opacity: 0, duration: 0.4, ease: "power2.out" }, 0.3);
-
-// Step 4: Animate OUT from those positions
-tl.to(".title", { y: -40, opacity: 0, duration: 0.4, ease: "power2.in" }, 3);
-tl.to(".subtitle", { y: -30, opacity: 0, duration: 0.3, ease: "power2.in" }, 3.1);
-tl.to(".logo", { scale: 0.9, opacity: 0, duration: 0.3, ease: "power2.in" }, 3.2);
-```
-
-### When elements share space across time
-
-If element A exits before element B enters in the same area, both should have correct CSS positions for their respective hero frames. The timeline ordering guarantees they never visually coexist — but if you skip the layout step, you won't catch the case where they accidentally overlap due to a timing error.
-
-### What counts as intentional overlap
-
-Layered effects (glow behind text, shadow elements, background patterns) and z-stacked designs (card stacks, depth layers) are intentional. The layout step is about catching **unintentional** overlap — two headlines landing on top of each other, a stat covering a label, content bleeding off-frame.
-
-## Data Attributes
-
-### All Clips
-
-| Attribute          | Required                          | Values                                                 |

-| `data-duration`    | Required for img/div/compositions | Seconds. Video/audio defaults to media duration.       |
-| `data-track-index` | Yes                               | Integer. Same-track clips cannot overlap.              |
-| `data-media-start` | No                                | Trim offset into source (seconds)                      |
-| `data-volume`      | No                                | 0-1 (default 1)                                        |
-
-`data-track-index` does **not** affect visual layering — use CSS `z-index`.

-| `data-duration`              | Yes      | Takes precedence over GSAP timeline duration                      |
-| `data-width` / `data-height` | Yes      | Pixel dimensions (1920x1080 or 1080x1920)                         |
-| `data-composition-src`       | No       | Path to external HTML file                                        |

-| ---------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `data-composition-variables` | No       | JSON array of declared variables (id/type/label/default) — drives Studio editing UI and provides defaults for `getVariables()` |
-
-## Composition Structure
-
-Sub-compositions loaded via `data-composition-src` use a `<template>` wrapper. **Standalone compositions (the main index.html) do NOT use `<template>`** — they put the `data-composition-id` div directly in `<body>`. Using `<template>` on a standalone file hides all content from the browser and breaks rendering.
-
-Sub-composition structure:
-
-```html
-<template id="my-comp-template">
-  <div data-composition-id="my-comp" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
-    <!-- content -->
-    <style>
-      [data-composition-id="my-comp"] {
-        /* scoped styles */
-      }
-    </style>
-    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>
-    <script>
-      window.__timelines = window.__timelines || {};
-      const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
-      // tweens...
-      window.__timelines["my-comp"] = tl;
-    </script>
-  </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-Load in root: `<div id="el-1" data-composition-id="my-comp" data-composition-src="compositions/my-comp.html" data-start="0" data-duration="10" data-track-index="1"></div>`
-
-## Variables (Parametrized Compositions)
-
-Render the same composition with different content — title, theme color, prices, captions — without editing the source HTML.
-
-**Three-step pattern:**
-
-1. **Declare** variables on the composition's `<html>` root with `data-composition-variables`. Each entry needs `id`, `type` (one of `string`, `number`, `color`, `boolean`, `enum`), `label`, and `default`. Enum entries also need `options: [{value, label}, ...]`.
-2. **Read** the resolved values inside the composition's script with `window.__hyperframes.getVariables()`. Returns the merged result of declared defaults + per-instance overrides + CLI overrides.
-3. **Override** at render time with `npx hyperframes render --variables '{...}'` (top-level) or with `data-variable-values='{...}'` on the host element (per-instance for sub-comps).
-
-```html
-<!doctype html>
-<html
-  data-composition-variables='[
-  {"id":"title","type":"string","label":"Title","default":"Hello"},
-  {"id":"theme","type":"enum","label":"Theme","default":"light","options":[
-    {"value":"light","label":"Light"},
-    {"value":"dark","label":"Dark"}
-  ]}
-]'
->
-  <body>
-    <div data-composition-id="root" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
-      <h1 id="hero" class="clip" data-start="0" data-duration="3"></h1>
-      <script>
-        const { title, theme } = window.__hyperframes.getVariables();
-        document.getElementById("hero").textContent = title;
-        document.body.dataset.theme = theme;
-      </script>
-    </div>
-  </body>
-</html>
-```
-
-```bash
-# Dev preview uses declared defaults
-npx hyperframes preview
-
-# Render with overrides
-npx hyperframes render --variables '{"title":"Q4 Report","theme":"dark"}' --output q4.mp4
-
-# Or from a JSON file
-npx hyperframes render --variables-file ./vars.json
-```
-
-**Sub-composition per-instance values:** the same `getVariables()` works inside sub-comps loaded via `data-composition-src`. Each host element passes its own values:
-
-```html
-<div
-  data-composition-id="card-pro"
-  data-composition-src="compositions/card.html"
-  data-variable-values='{"title":"Pro","price":"$29"}'
-></div>
-<div
-  data-composition-id="card-enterprise"
-  data-composition-src="compositions/card.html"
-  data-variable-values='{"title":"Enterprise","price":"Custom"}'
-></div>
-```
-
-The runtime layers each host's `data-variable-values` over the sub-comp's declared defaults on a per-instance basis, so the same source can be embedded multiple times with different content.
-
-**Rules of thumb:**
-
-- Always provide a sensible `default` for every declared variable. Dev preview uses defaults — without them, the composition won't render correctly until `--variables` is provided.
-- Read variables once at the top of the script (`const { title } = ...`), not inside frame loops or event handlers — `getVariables()` allocates a fresh object per call.
-- Use `--strict-variables` in CI to fail fast on undeclared keys or type mismatches.
-- Variable types are validated at render time. `string`, `number`, `boolean`, and `color` (hex string) check `typeof`; `enum` checks the value is in the declared `options`.
-
-## Video and Audio
-
-Video must be `muted playsinline`. Audio is always a separate `<audio>` element:
-
-```html
-<video
-  id="el-v"
-  data-start="0"
-  data-duration="30"
-  data-track-index="0"
-  src="video.mp4"
-  muted
-  playsinline
-></video>
-<audio
-  id="el-a"
-  data-start="0"
-  data-duration="30"
-  data-track-index="2"
-  src="video.mp4"
-  data-volume="1"
-></audio>
-```
-
-## Timeline Contract
-
-- All timelines start `{ paused: true }` — the player controls playback
-- Register every timeline: `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"] = tl`
-- Framework auto-nests sub-timelines — do NOT manually add them
-- Duration comes from `data-duration`, not from GSAP timeline length
-- Never create empty tweens to set duration
-
-## Rules (Non-Negotiable)
-
-**Deterministic:** No `Math.random()`, `Date.now()`, or time-based logic. Use a seeded PRNG if you need pseudo-random values (e.g. mulberry32).
-
-**GSAP:** Only animate visual properties (`opacity`, `x`, `y`, `scale`, `rotation`, `color`, `backgroundColor`, `borderRadius`, transforms). Do NOT animate `visibility`, `display`, or call `video.play()`/`audio.play()`.
-
-**Animation conflicts:** Never animate the same property on the same element from multiple timelines simultaneously.
-
-**No `repeat: -1`:** Infinite-repeat timelines break the capture engine. Calculate the exact repeat count from composition duration: `repeat: Math.ceil(duration / cycleDuration) - 1`.
-
-**Synchronous timeline construction:** Never build timelines inside `async`/`await`, `setTimeout`, or Promises. The capture engine reads `window.__timelines` synchronously after page load. Fonts are embedded by the compiler, so they're available immediately — no need to wait for font loading.
-
-**Never do:**
-
-1. Forget `window.__timelines` registration
-2. Use video for audio — always muted video + separate `<audio>`
-3. Nest video inside a timed div — use a non-timed wrapper
-4. Use `data-layer` (use `data-track-index`) or `data-end` (use `data-duration`)
-5. Animate video element dimensions — animate a wrapper div
-6. Call play/pause/seek on media — framework owns playback
-7. Create a top-level container without `data-composition-id`
-8. Use `repeat: -1` on any timeline or tween — always finite repeats
-9. Build timelines asynchronously (inside `async`, `setTimeout`, `Promise`)
-10. Use `gsap.set()` on clip elements from later scenes — they don't exist in the DOM at page load. Use `tl.set(selector, vars, timePosition)` inside the timeline at or after the clip's `data-start` time instead.
-11. Use `<br>` in content text — forced line breaks don't account for actual rendered font width. Text that wraps naturally + a `<br>` produces an extra unwanted break, causing overlap. Let text wrap via `max-width` instead. Exception: short display titles where each word is deliberately on its own line (e.g., "THE\nIMMORTAL\nGAME" at 130px).
-
-## Scene Transitions (Non-Negotiable)
-
-Every multi-scene composition MUST follow ALL of these rules. Violating any one of them is a broken composition.
-
-1. **ALWAYS use transitions between scenes.** No jump cuts. No exceptions.
-2. **ALWAYS use entrance animations on every scene.** Every element animates IN via `gsap.from()`. No element may appear fully-formed. If a scene has 5 elements, it needs 5 entrance tweens.
-3. **NEVER use exit animations** except on the final scene. This means: NO `gsap.to()` that animates opacity to 0, y offscreen, scale to 0, or any other "out" animation before a transition fires. The transition IS the exit. The outgoing scene's content MUST be fully visible at the moment the transition starts.
-4. **Final scene only:** The last scene may fade elements out (e.g., fade to black). This is the ONLY scene where `gsap.to(..., { opacity: 0 })` is allowed.
-
-**WRONG — exit animation before transition:**
-
-```js
-// BANNED — this empties the scene before the transition can use it
-tl.to("#s1-title", { opacity: 0, y: -40, duration: 0.4 }, 6.5);
-tl.to("#s1-subtitle", { opacity: 0, duration: 0.3 }, 6.7);
-// transition fires on empty frame
-```
-
-**RIGHT — entrance only, transition handles exit:**
-
-```js
-// Scene 1 entrance animations
-tl.from("#s1-title", { y: 50, opacity: 0, duration: 0.7, ease: "power3.out" }, 0.3);
-tl.from("#s1-subtitle", { y: 30, opacity: 0, duration: 0.5, ease: "power2.out" }, 0.6);
-// NO exit tweens — transition at 7.2s handles the scene change
-// Scene 2 entrance animations
-tl.from("#s2-heading", { x: -40, opacity: 0, duration: 0.6, ease: "expo.out" }, 8.0);
-```
-
-## Animation Guardrails
-
-- Offset first animation 0.1-0.3s (not t=0)
-- Vary eases across entrance tweens — use at least 3 different eases per scene
-- Don't repeat an entrance pattern within a scene
-- Avoid full-screen linear gradients on dark backgrounds (H.264 banding — use radial or solid + localized glow)
-- 60px+ headlines, 20px+ body, 16px+ data labels for rendered video
-- `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` on number columns
-
-If no `frame.md` or `design.md` exists, follow [house-style.md](./house-style.md) for aesthetic defaults.
-
-## Typography and Assets
-
-- **Built-in fonts:** Write the `font-family` you want in CSS — the compiler embeds supported fonts automatically.
-- **Custom fonts:** If the spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) names a font that isn't built-in, the user must provide `.woff2` files in a `fonts/` directory. If missing, warn before writing HTML. When files exist, add `@font-face` declarations pointing to the local files.
-- Add `crossorigin="anonymous"` to external media
-- For dynamic text overflow, use `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(text, { maxWidth, fontFamily, fontWeight })`
-- All files live at the project root alongside `index.html`; sub-compositions use `../`
-
-## Editing Existing Compositions
-
-- **Read actual files, don't guess.** When editing, extending, or creating companion compositions, read the existing source. Don't reconstruct hex codes from memory. Don't guess GSAP easing patterns. The composition IS the spec — extract exact values from it.
-- Match existing fonts, colors, animation patterns from what you read
-- Only change what was requested
-- Preserve timing of unrelated clips
-
-## Output Checklist
-
-**Fast (run immediately, block on results):**
-
-- [ ] `npx hyperframes lint` and `npx hyperframes validate` both pass
-- [ ] Design adherence verified if a design spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) exists
-
-**Slow (run in parallel while presenting the preview to the user):**
-
-- [ ] `npx hyperframes inspect` passes, or every reported overflow is intentionally marked
-- [ ] Contrast warnings addressed (see Quality Checks below)
-- [ ] Animation choreography verified (see Quality Checks below)
-
-## Quality Checks
-
-### Visual Inspect
-
-`hyperframes inspect` runs the composition in headless Chrome, seeks through the timeline, and maps visual layout issues with timestamps, selectors, bounding boxes, and fix hints. Run it after `lint` and `validate`:
-
-```bash
-npx hyperframes inspect
-npx hyperframes inspect --json
-```
-
-Failures usually mean text is spilling out of a bubble/card, a fixed-size label is clipping dynamic copy, or text has moved off the canvas. Fix by increasing container size or padding, reducing font size or letter spacing, adding a real `max-width` so text wraps inside the container, or using `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(...)` for dynamic copy.
-
-Use `--samples 15` for dense videos and `--at 1.5,4,7.25` for specific hero frames. Repeated static issues are collapsed by default to avoid flooding agent context. If overflow is intentional for an entrance/exit animation, mark the element or ancestor with `data-layout-allow-overflow`. If a decorative element should never be audited, mark it with `data-layout-ignore`.
-
-`hyperframes layout` is the compatibility alias for the same check.
-
-### Contrast
-
-`hyperframes validate` runs a WCAG contrast audit by default. It seeks to 5 timestamps, screenshots the page, samples background pixels behind every text element, and computes contrast ratios. Failures appear as warnings:
-
-```
-⚠ WCAG AA contrast warnings (3):
-  · .subtitle "secondary text" — 2.67:1 (need 4.5:1, t=5.3s)
-```
-
-If warnings appear:
-
-- On dark backgrounds: brighten the failing color until it clears 4.5:1 (normal text) or 3:1 (large text, 24px+ or 19px+ bold)
-- On light backgrounds: darken it
-- Stay within the palette family — don't invent a new color, adjust the existing one
-- Re-run `hyperframes validate` until clean
-
-Use `--no-contrast` to skip if iterating rapidly and you'll check later.
-
-### Design Adherence
-
-If a design spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) exists, verify the composition follows it after authoring. Read the HTML and check:
-
-1. **Colors** — every hex value in the composition appears in the spec's palette section (however the user labeled it: Colors, Palette, Theme, etc.). Flag any invented colors.
-2. **Typography** — font families and weights match the spec's type spec. No substitutions.
-3. **Corners** — border-radius values match the declared corner style, if specified.
-4. **Spacing** — padding and gap values fall within the declared density range, if specified.
-5. **Depth** — shadow usage matches the declared depth level, if specified (flat = none, subtle = light, layered = glows).
-6. **Avoidance rules** — if the spec has a section listing things to avoid (commonly "What NOT to Do", "Don'ts", "Anti-patterns", or "Do's and Don'ts"), verify none are present.
-
-Report violations as a checklist. Fix each one before serving.
-
-If no design spec exists (house-style-only path), verify:
-
-1. **Palette consistency** — the same bg, fg, and accent colors are used across all scenes. No per-scene color invention.
-2. **No lazy defaults** — check the composition against house-style.md's "Lazy Defaults to Question" list. If any appear, they must be a deliberate choice for the content, not a default.
-
-### Animation Map
-
-After authoring animations, run the animation map to verify choreography:
-
-```bash
-node skills/hyperframes/scripts/animation-map.mjs <composition-dir> \
-  --out <composition-dir>/.hyperframes/anim-map
-```
-
-Outputs a single `animation-map.json` with:
-
-- **Per-tween summaries**: `"#card1 animates opacity+y over 0.50s. moves 23px up. fades in. ends at (120, 200)"`
-- **ASCII timeline**: Gantt chart of all tweens across the composition duration
-- **Stagger detection**: reports actual intervals (`"3 elements stagger at 120ms"`)
-- **Dead zones**: periods over 1s with no animation — intentional hold or missing entrance?
-- **Element lifecycles**: first/last animation time, final visibility
-- **Scene snapshots**: visible element state at 5 key timestamps
-- **Flags**: `offscreen`, `collision`, `invisible`, `paced-fast` (under 0.2s), `paced-slow` (over 2s)
-
-Read the JSON. Scan summaries for anything unexpected. Check every flag — fix or justify. Verify the timeline shows the intended choreography rhythm. Re-run after fixes.
-
-Skip on small edits (fixing a color, adjusting one duration). Run on new compositions and significant animation changes.

-# Data in Motion
-
-Light guidance for data and stats in video compositions. The [house style](./house-style.md) handles aesthetics — this just addresses data-specific pitfalls.
-
-## Visual Continuity
-
-When successive stats belong to the same concept (Q1 → Q2 → Q3 → Q4, or three metrics for the same product), keep them in the same visual space with the same aesthetic. Only the VALUE changes. An aesthetic change should signal a new concept, not just a new number.
-
-## Numbers Need Visual Weight
-
-A number on its own floats in empty space. Pair every metric with a visual element that gives it presence — a proportional fill bar, a background color shift, a shape that represents the value, a progress ring. The visual doesn't need to be a chart — it just needs to fill the frame and make the data feel tangible rather than just text on a background.
-
-## Avoid Web Patterns
-
-- **No pie charts** — hard to compare, looks like PowerPoint
-- **No multi-axis charts** — viewer can't study intersections in a 3-second window
-- **No 6-panel dashboards** — 2-3 related metrics side-by-side is fine, 6+ is a web pattern
-- **No gridlines, tick marks, or legends** — visual noise that adds nothing in motion
-- **No chart library output** — build with GSAP + SVG/CSS, not D3 or Chart.js

-# House Style
-
-Creative direction for compositions when no design spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) is provided. These are starting points — override anything that doesn't serve the content. When a spec exists, its brand values take precedence; house-style fills gaps.
-
-## Before Writing HTML
-
-1. **Interpret the prompt.** Generate real content. A recipe lists real ingredients. A HUD has real readouts.
-2. **Pick a palette.** Light or dark? Declare bg, fg, accent before writing code.
-3. **Pick typefaces.** Run the font discovery script in [references/typography.md](references/typography.md) — or pick a font you already know that fits the theme. The script broadens your options; it's not the only source.
-
-## Lazy Defaults to Question
-
-These patterns are AI design tells — the first thing every LLM reaches for. If you're about to use one, pause and ask: is this a deliberate choice for THIS content, or am I defaulting?
-
-- Gradient text (`background-clip: text` + gradient)
-- Left-edge accent stripes on cards/callouts
-- Cyan-on-dark / purple-to-blue gradients / neon accents
-- Pure `#000` or `#fff` (tint toward your accent hue instead)
-- Identical card grids (same-size cards repeated)
-- Everything centered with equal weight (lead the eye somewhere)
-- Banned fonts (see [references/typography.md](references/typography.md) for full list)
-
-If the content genuinely calls for one of these — centered layout for a solemn closing, cards for a real product UI mockup, a banned font because it's the perfect thematic match — use it. The goal is intentionality, not avoidance.
-
-## Color
-
-- Match light/dark to content: food, wellness, kids → light. Tech, cinema, finance → dark.
-- One accent hue. Same background across all scenes.
-- Tint neutrals toward your accent (even subtle warmth/coolness beats dead gray).
-- **Contrast:** enforced by `hyperframes validate` (WCAG AA). Text must be readable with decoratives removed.
-- Declare palette up front. Don't invent colors per-element.
-
-## Background Layer
-
-Every scene needs visual depth — persistent decorative elements that stay visible while content animates in. Without these, scenes feel empty during entrance staggering.
-
-Ideas (mix and match, 2-5 per scene):
-
-- Radial glows (accent-tinted, low opacity, breathing scale)
-- Ghost text (theme words at 3-8% opacity, very large, slow drift)
-- Accent lines (hairline rules, subtle pulse)
-- Grain/noise overlay, geometric shapes, grid patterns
-- Thematic decoratives (orbit rings for space, vinyl grooves for music, grid lines for data)
-
-All decoratives should have slow ambient GSAP animation — breathing, drift, pulse. Static decoratives feel dead.
-
-**Decorative count vs motion count.** The "2-5 per scene" count refers to decorative _elements_. If a project's spec (`frame.md` or `design.md`) says "single ambient motion per scene", it means one looping motion applied to these decoratives (a shared breath/drift/pulse) — not one element total. A scene with 4 decoratives sharing one breathing motion is correct; a scene with 1 decorative is under-dressed.
-
-## Motion
-
-See [references/motion-principles.md](references/motion-principles.md) for full rules. Quick: 0.3–0.6s, vary eases, combine transforms on entrances, overlap entries.
-
-## Typography
-
-See [references/typography.md](references/typography.md) for full rules. Quick: 700-900 headlines / 300-400 body, serif + sans (not two sans), 60px+ headlines / 20px+ body.
-
-## Palettes
-
-Declare one background, one foreground, one accent before writing HTML.
