-> **Capturing live HTML/CSS as a GPU texture** (3D rotation + bloom, magnetic warp, shatter, liquid surface, portal, plus GLSL post-processing) is a separate, heavier capability — see `adapters/html-in-canvas-patterns.md`. Use it for 1–3 hero beats per video, not every beat.
->
-> **Easing vocabulary** — the full ease-family palette (character + mood mapping) lives in `adapters/gsap-easing-and-stagger.md`. Every composition should use at least 3 different easings.
->
-> **Named text-animation effects** (24 IDs like `typewriter`, `kinetic-center-build`, `soft-blur-in`) come from the external `animate-text` skill — see `adapters/animate-text.md` for the vocabulary and how to load it.

----
-
-## 1. SVG Path Drawing
-
-A path draws itself in real-time, like someone tracing with a pen. Use for revealing diagrams, arrows, connector lines, or brand marks.
-
-```html
-<svg viewBox="0 0 400 200">
-  <path
-    class="draw-path"
-    d="M 50 100 L 200 50 L 350 100"
-    stroke="#c84f1c"
-    stroke-width="4"
-    fill="none"
-    stroke-linecap="round"
-  />
-</svg>
-<style>
-  .draw-path {
-    stroke-dasharray: 280;
-    stroke-dashoffset: 280;
-  }
-</style>
-<script>
-  tl.to(".draw-path", { strokeDashoffset: 0, duration: 0.7, ease: "power2.out" }, 0.5);
-</script>
-```
-
-Use `path.getTotalLength()` to calculate the dasharray value dynamically.
-
----
-
-## 2. Canvas 2D Procedural Art
-
-Animated noise, particle fields, data visualizations — anything that evolves frame-by-frame. Drive it with a GSAP proxy.
-
-```html
-<canvas id="proc-canvas" width="1920" height="1080"></canvas>
-<script>
-  var canvas = document.getElementById("proc-canvas");
-  var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
-
-  function hash(x, y) {
-    var n = x * 374761393 + y * 668265263;
-    n = (n ^ (n >> 13)) * 1274126177;
-    return ((n ^ (n >> 16)) & 0x7fffffff) / 0x7fffffff;
-  }
-
-  function drawFrame(t) {
-    ctx.fillStyle = "#0a0a0a";
-    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 1920, 1080);
-    for (var i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
-      var x = hash(i, 0) * 1920;
-      var y = hash(i, 1) * 1080;
-      var brightness = hash(i, Math.floor(t * 10)) * 255;
-      ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 255, 255, " + brightness / 255 + ")";
-      ctx.beginPath();
-      ctx.arc(x, y, 2, 0, Math.PI * 2);
-      ctx.fill();
-    }
-  }
-
-  var proxy = { time: 0 };
-  tl.to(
-    proxy,
-    {
-      time: 5,
-      duration: 5,
-      ease: "none",
-      onUpdate: function () {
-        drawFrame(proxy.time);
-      },
-    },
-    0,
-  );
-</script>
-```
-
-The `hash()` function is deterministic — same frame renders identically every time.
-
----
-
-## 3. CSS 3D Transforms
-
-Perspective rotations create depth. Use for product showcases, card flips, architectural reveals.
-
-```html
-<div class="stage" style="perspective: 900px;">
-  <div class="card-3d" style="transform-style: preserve-3d;">
-    <div class="face front">Product</div>
-    <div class="face back" style="transform: rotateY(180deg);">Details</div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-<script>
-  tl.to(".card-3d", { rotationY: 360, rotationX: 15, duration: 1.2, ease: "sine.inOut" }, 0);
-</script>
-```
-
-Always set `perspective` on the parent, `transform-style: preserve-3d` on the animated element.
-
----
-
-## 4. Per-Word Kinetic Typography
-
-Words appear one-by-one, synced to transcript.json timestamps. The core technique for narration-driven videos.
-
-```html
-<div class="headline">
-  <span class="word w-0">Anything</span>
-  <span class="word w-1">a</span>
-  <span class="word w-2">browser</span>
-  <span class="word w-3">can</span>
-  <span class="word w-4">render</span>
-</div>
-<style>
-  .word {
-    display: inline-block;
-    opacity: 0;
-    margin: 0 0.12em;
-  }
-</style>
-<script>
-  // Word onset times from transcript.json (seconds relative to beat start)
-  var timings = [0.0, 0.23, 0.28, 0.63, 0.78];
-  var slides = [80, 60, 50, 25, 12]; // horizontal slide decay (px)
-
-  document.querySelectorAll(".word").forEach(function (word, i) {
-    tl.from(
-      word,
-      {
-        x: slides[i],
-        y: 14,
-        opacity: 0,
-        duration: 0.35,
-        ease: "power2.out",
-      },
-      timings[i],
-    );
-  });
-</script>
-```
-
-The slide distance DECAYS per word (80→12px) — mimics a camera settling.
-
----
-
-## 5. Lottie Animation
-
-Vector animations that play inside a composition. Use for logos, character animations, icons.
-
-```html
-<div id="logo-anim" class="lottie" style="width:500px;height:500px;"></div>
-<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bodymovin/5.12.2/lottie.min.js"></script>
-<script>
-  window.__hfLottie = window.__hfLottie || [];
-
-  const anim = lottie.loadAnimation({
-    container: document.getElementById("logo-anim"),
-    renderer: "svg",
-    loop: false,
-    autoplay: false,
-    path: "../capture/assets/lottie/animation-0.json",
-  });
-  window.__hfLottie.push(anim); // REQUIRED — adapter seeks every registered instance
-
-  gsap.set("#logo-anim", { scale: 0.3, opacity: 0 });
-  tl.to("#logo-anim", { scale: 1, opacity: 1, duration: 0.35, ease: "back.out(1.6)" }, 0.2);
-</script>
-```
-
-`autoplay: false` + `loop: false` + `window.__hfLottie.push()` are mandatory — HyperFrames seeks each registered player to composition time, so anything left on `autoplay`/`loop` runs in wall-clock and renders non-deterministically. The adapter seeks absolute time (no modulo loop, no playback-rate scaling): bake repeating cycles or non-default speed into the Lottie asset or an explicit timeline, then verify the render. Full contract + `.lottie`/dotLottie variant: `adapters/lottie.md`.
-
----
-
-## 6. Video Compositing
-
-Embed real video footage inside compositions. Videos must be `muted` with `playsinline`.
-
-```html
-<div class="video-frame" style="width:680px;height:840px;border-radius:16px;overflow:hidden;">
-  <video
-    id="footage"
-    src="../capture/assets/videos/clip.mp4"
-    muted
-    playsinline
-    style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;"
-  ></video>
-</div>
-<script>
-  // Video playback is controlled by the framework — don't call play() manually
-  tl.from(".video-frame", { scale: 0.9, opacity: 0, duration: 0.3, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
-</script>
-```
-
-The HyperFrames runtime handles video seeking and playback.
-
----
-
-## 7. Character-by-Character Typing
-
-Terminal typing effect using `tl.call()` to update text content character by character.
-
-```html
-<div class="terminal-line">
-  <span class="prompt">❯</span>
-  <span class="typed" id="typed-text"></span>
-  <span class="cursor" style="width:11px;height:22px;background:#333;display:inline-block;"></span>
-</div>
-<script>
-  var CMD = "npx hyperframes init";
-  var typed = document.getElementById("typed-text");
-
-  // Cursor blinks
-  tl.to(".cursor", { opacity: 0, duration: 0.12, yoyo: true, repeat: 20, ease: "steps(1)" }, 0);
-
-  // Type each character
-  for (var i = 0; i < CMD.length; i++) {
-    (function (idx) {
-      tl.call(
-        function () {
-          typed.textContent = CMD.substring(0, idx + 1);
-        },
-        null,
-        (idx / CMD.length) * 0.9,
-      );
-    })(i);
-  }
-</script>
-```
-
-Use `ease: "steps(1)"` for cursor blink — creates discrete on/off.
-
----
-
-## 8. Variable Font Axis Animation
-
-Animate font-variation-settings to reshape glyphs in real-time. Works with variable fonts that have axes like optical size (opsz), weight (wght), softness (SOFT).
-
-```html
-<style>
-  /* Load the captured local variable font — do NOT use Google Fonts @import.
-     Replace this placeholder with an @font-face pointing to ../capture/assets/fonts/. */
-  @font-face {
-    font-family: "Fraunces";
-    src: url("../capture/assets/fonts/Fraunces-Variable.woff2") format("woff2");
-    font-weight: 100 900;
-    font-style: normal;
-    font-display: block;
-  }
-  .wordmark {
-    --opsz: 144;
-    --wght: 440;
-    font-family: "Fraunces", serif;
-    font-variation-settings:
-      "opsz" var(--opsz),
-      "wght" var(--wght);
-    font-size: 200px;
-  }
-</style>
-<script>
-  tl.to(".wordmark", { "--opsz": 72, "--wght": 300, duration: 0.45, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
-</script>
-```
-
-The glyph subtly reshapes as axes animate — optical size adjusts detail, weight changes thickness.
-
----
-
-## 9. GSAP MotionPathPlugin
-
-Animate an element along an arbitrary SVG path. Use for sliders following curves, particles along trajectories, guided reveals.
-
-```html
-<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/MotionPathPlugin.min.js"></script>
-<div class="dot" style="width:20px;height:20px;background:#2a8a7c;border-radius:50%;"></div>
-<script>
-  gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin);
-  tl.to(
-    ".dot",
-    {
-      motionPath: { path: "M 12 300 C 280 280 520 80 820 50 S 1200 48 1308 38" },
-      duration: 1.5,
-      ease: "power2.out",
-    },
-    0,
-  );
-</script>
-```
-
----
-
-## 10. Velocity-Matched Transitions
-
-Exit one beat and enter the next with matched velocities — creates perceived continuous motion.
-
-```javascript
-// EXIT (in outgoing composition): accelerating with blur
-tl.to(
-  ".content",
-  {
-    y: -150,
-    filter: "blur(30px)",
-    opacity: 0,
-    duration: 0.33,
-    ease: "power2.in", // accelerates
-  },
-  beatDuration - 0.33,
-);
-
-// ENTRY (in incoming composition): decelerating from blur
-gsap.set(".content", { y: 150, filter: "blur(30px)" });
-tl.to(
-  ".content",
-  {
-    y: 0,
-    filter: "blur(0px)",
-    duration: 1.0,
-    ease: "power2.out", // decelerates
-  },
-  0,
-);
-```
-
-The fastest point of both curves meets at the cut — the viewer perceives smooth camera motion. Match ease families: `.in` for exits, `.out` for entries.
-
----
-
-## 11. Audio-Reactive Animation
-
-Drive any GSAP-tweenable property from the playing audio. Bass pulses a logo on kick drums. Treble glows a CTA on cymbals. Amplitude breathes a background during quiet phrases. The result: motion that feels locked to the track in a way pre-authored tweens never can.
-
-**When to use:** Any video with music or dramatic narration — brand reels, product launches, hype edits. Skip for calm/tutorial pacing.
-
-**How it works:** Pre-extract audio frequency bands into a JSON file, then sample per-frame via `tl.call()`:
-
-```js
-// audio-data.json: { fps: 30, totalFrames: 900, frames: [{ bands: [0.82, 0.45, 0.31, ...] }, ...] }
-for (var f = 0; f < AUDIO_DATA.totalFrames; f++) {
-  tl.call(
-    (function (frame) {
-      return function () {
-        var bass = frame.bands[0]; // 0–1
-        var treble = frame.bands[13];
-        gsap.set(".logo", { scale: 1 + bass * 0.04 }); // 3–4% pulse on bass
-        gsap.set(".cta", { filter: `drop-shadow(0 0 ${treble * 24}px #00C3FF)` });
-      };
-    })(AUDIO_DATA.frames[f]),
-    [],
-    f / AUDIO_DATA.fps,
-  );
-}
-```
-
-Per-frame sampling is required — a single tween will not react. Use the extract script:
-
-```bash
-python3 skills/hyperframes-creative/scripts/extract-audio-data.py narration.wav --fps 30 --bands 16 -o audio-data.json
-```
-
-Keep text/logo intensity subtle (≤5% scale, ≤30% glow) — audio-reactive motion on tiny elements reads as jitter. Bigger backgrounds can push to 10–30%.
-
-**Never do:** equalizer bars, spectrum analyzers, waveform displays, strobing, rainbow color cycling. The audio provides _timing and intensity_; the visual vocabulary still comes from the brand. See `skills/hyperframes-creative/references/audio-reactive.md` for the full API and anti-patterns.
-
----
-
-## 12. Clip-Path Reveal Masks
-
-A fixed window that content slides through — text or images enter from one side and are clipped by an invisible boundary. Different from SVG path drawing: the mask is static, the content moves.
-
-```html
-<div id="reveal-mask">
-  <div id="reveal-content">Your headline text here</div>
-</div>
-<style>
-  #reveal-mask {
-    position: absolute;
-    inset: 0;
-    clip-path: inset(0 200px 0 0); /* clips 200px from right */
-    display: flex;
-    align-items: center;
-    justify-content: center;
-  }
-  #reveal-content {
-    font-size: 108px;
-    white-space: nowrap;
-  }
-</style>
-<script>
-  // Content starts offscreen right, slides left through the mask window
-  gsap.set("#reveal-content", { x: 400, opacity: 0 });
-  tl.to("#reveal-content", { x: 0, opacity: 1, duration: 1, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
-</script>
-```
-
-Variations: `clip-path: circle(0% at 50% 50%)` → `circle(100%)` for iris reveals. `clip-path: polygon(...)` for custom shapes.
-
----
-
-## 13. WebGL Fragment Shader Art
-
-Full GPU generative backgrounds — domain-warped FBM noise, cosine palette coloring, iridescent organic patterns. Far richer than Canvas 2D.
-
-```html
-<canvas id="shader-bg" width="1920" height="1080"></canvas>
-<script>
-  var canvas = document.getElementById("shader-bg");
-  var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");
-  if (!gl) {
-    /* fallback to gradient */
-  }
-
-  var fsrc = `
-    precision mediump float;
-    varying vec2 v_uv;
-    uniform float u_time;
-    uniform vec2 u_res;
-
-    float hash(vec2 p) { return fract(sin(dot(p, vec2(127.1, 311.7))) * 43758.5453); }
-    float noise(vec2 p) {
-      vec2 i = floor(p), f = fract(p);
-      f = f * f * (3.0 - 2.0 * f);
-      return mix(mix(hash(i), hash(i+vec2(1,0)), f.x),
-                 mix(hash(i+vec2(0,1)), hash(i+vec2(1,1)), f.x), f.y);
-    }
-    float fbm(vec2 p) {
-      float v = 0.0, a = 0.5;
-      mat2 R = mat2(0.8, 0.6, -0.6, 0.8);
-      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { v += a*noise(p); p = R*p*2.02; a *= 0.5; }
-      return v;
-    }
-    vec3 palette(float t) {
-      return vec3(0.5)+vec3(0.5)*cos(6.28318*(vec3(1)*t+vec3(0.0,0.33,0.67)));
-    }
-    void main() {
-      vec2 uv = v_uv; uv.x *= u_res.x/u_res.y;
-      float t = u_time * 0.4;
-      vec2 q = vec2(fbm(uv*3.0+t*0.3), fbm(uv*3.0+vec2(5.2,1.3)+t*0.2));
-      vec2 r = vec2(fbm(uv*3.0+q*4.0+vec2(1.7,9.2)+t*0.15), fbm(uv*3.0+q*4.0+vec2(8.3,2.8)+t*0.1));
-      float n = fbm(uv*3.0+r*2.0);
-      vec3 col = palette(n*2.0+t*0.2);
-      col = mix(col, palette(length(q)*3.0+t*0.1), 0.4);
-      col *= 0.7+0.3*n;
-      float vig = 1.0-0.4*length(v_uv-0.5);
-      gl_FragColor = vec4(col*vig, 1.0);
-    }
-  `;
-
-  // Compile, link, set up fullscreen quad, then render via GSAP proxy:
-  var proxy = { time: 0.5 };
-  tl.to(
-    proxy,
-    {
-      time: 5,
-      duration: BEAT_DUR,
-      ease: "none",
-      onUpdate: function () {
-        gl.uniform1f(uTime, proxy.time);
-        gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
-      },
-    },
-    0,
-  );
-</script>
-```
-
-Always include a Canvas 2D gradient fallback for environments without WebGL.

+
+---
+
+## 1. SVG Path Drawing
+
+A path draws itself in real-time, like someone tracing with a pen. Use for revealing diagrams, arrows, connector lines, or brand marks.
+
+```html
+<svg viewBox="0 0 400 200">
+  <path
+    class="draw-path"
+    d="M 50 100 L 200 50 L 350 100"
+    stroke="#c84f1c"
+    stroke-width="4"
+    fill="none"
+    stroke-linecap="round"
+  />
+</svg>
+<style>
+  .draw-path {
+    stroke-dasharray: 280;
+    stroke-dashoffset: 280;
+  }
+</style>
+<script>
+  tl.to(".draw-path", { strokeDashoffset: 0, duration: 0.7, ease: "power2.out" }, 0.5);
+</script>
+```
+
+Use `path.getTotalLength()` to calculate the dasharray value dynamically.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Canvas 2D Procedural Art
+
+Animated noise, particle fields, data visualizations — anything that evolves frame-by-frame. Drive it with a GSAP proxy.
+
+```html
+<canvas id="proc-canvas" width="1920" height="1080"></canvas>
+<script>
+  var canvas = document.getElementById("proc-canvas");
+  var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
+
+  function hash(x, y) {
+    var n = x * 374761393 + y * 668265263;
+    n = (n ^ (n >> 13)) * 1274126177;
+    return ((n ^ (n >> 16)) & 0x7fffffff) / 0x7fffffff;
+  }
+
+  function drawFrame(t) {
+    ctx.fillStyle = "#0a0a0a";
+    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 1920, 1080);
+    for (var i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
+      var x = hash(i, 0) * 1920;
+      var y = hash(i, 1) * 1080;
+      var brightness = hash(i, Math.floor(t * 10)) * 255;
+      ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 255, 255, " + brightness / 255 + ")";
+      ctx.beginPath();
+      ctx.arc(x, y, 2, 0, Math.PI * 2);
+      ctx.fill();
+    }
+  }
+
+  var proxy = { time: 0 };
+  tl.to(
+    proxy,
+    {
+      time: 5,
+      duration: 5,
+      ease: "none",
+      onUpdate: function () {
+        drawFrame(proxy.time);
+      },
+    },
+    0,
+  );
+</script>
+```
+
+The `hash()` function is deterministic — same frame renders identically every time.
+
+---
+
+## 3. CSS 3D Transforms
+
+Perspective rotations create depth. Use for product showcases, card flips, architectural reveals.
+
+```html
+<div class="stage" style="perspective: 900px;">
+  <div class="card-3d" style="transform-style: preserve-3d;">
+    <div class="face front">Product</div>
+    <div class="face back" style="transform: rotateY(180deg);">Details</div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+<script>
+  tl.to(".card-3d", { rotationY: 360, rotationX: 15, duration: 1.2, ease: "sine.inOut" }, 0);
+</script>
+```
+
+Always set `perspective` on the parent, `transform-style: preserve-3d` on the animated element.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Per-Word Kinetic Typography
+
+Words appear one-by-one, synced to transcript.json timestamps. The core technique for narration-driven videos.
+
+```html
+<div class="headline">
+  <span class="word w-0">Anything</span>
+  <span class="word w-1">a</span>
+  <span class="word w-2">browser</span>
+  <span class="word w-3">can</span>
+  <span class="word w-4">render</span>
+</div>
+<style>
+  .word {
+    display: inline-block;
+    opacity: 0;
+    margin: 0 0.12em;
+  }
+</style>
+<script>
+  // Word onset times from transcript.json (seconds relative to beat start)
+  var timings = [0.0, 0.23, 0.28, 0.63, 0.78];
+  var slides = [80, 60, 50, 25, 12]; // horizontal slide decay (px)
+
+  document.querySelectorAll(".word").forEach(function (word, i) {
+    tl.from(
+      word,
+      {
+        x: slides[i],
+        y: 14,
+        opacity: 0,
+        duration: 0.35,
+        ease: "power2.out",
+      },
+      timings[i],
+    );
+  });
+</script>
+```
+
+The slide distance DECAYS per word (80→12px) — mimics a camera settling.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Lottie Animation
+
+Vector animations that play inside a composition. Use for logos, character animations, icons.
+
+```html
+<div id="logo-anim" class="lottie" style="width:500px;height:500px;"></div>
+<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bodymovin/5.12.2/lottie.min.js"></script>
+<script>
+  window.__hfLottie = window.__hfLottie || [];
+
+  const anim = lottie.loadAnimation({
+    container: document.getElementById("logo-anim"),
+    renderer: "svg",
+    loop: false,
+    autoplay: false,
+    path: "../capture/assets/lottie/animation-0.json",
+  });
+  window.__hfLottie.push(anim); // REQUIRED — adapter seeks every registered instance
+
+  gsap.set("#logo-anim", { scale: 0.3, opacity: 0 });
+  tl.to("#logo-anim", { scale: 1, opacity: 1, duration: 0.35, ease: "back.out(1.6)" }, 0.2);
+</script>
+```
+
+`autoplay: false` + `loop: false` + `window.__hfLottie.push()` are mandatory — HyperFrames seeks each registered player to composition time, so anything left on `autoplay`/`loop` runs in wall-clock and renders non-deterministically. The adapter seeks absolute time (no modulo loop, no playback-rate scaling): bake repeating cycles or non-default speed into the Lottie asset or an explicit timeline, then verify the render. Full contract + `.lottie`/dotLottie variant: `adapters/lottie.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Video Compositing
+
+Embed real video footage inside compositions. Videos must be `muted` with `playsinline`.
+
+```html
+<div class="video-frame" style="width:680px;height:840px;border-radius:16px;overflow:hidden;">
+  <video
+    id="footage"
+    src="../capture/assets/videos/clip.mp4"
+    muted
+    playsinline
+    style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;"
+  ></video>
+</div>
+<script>
+  // Video playback is controlled by the framework — don't call play() manually
+  tl.from(".video-frame", { scale: 0.9, opacity: 0, duration: 0.3, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
+</script>
+```
+
+The HyperFrames runtime handles video seeking and playback.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Character-by-Character Typing
+
+Terminal typing effect using `tl.call()` to update text content character by character.
+
+```html
+<div class="terminal-line">
+  <span class="prompt">❯</span>
+  <span class="typed" id="typed-text"></span>
+  <span class="cursor" style="width:11px;height:22px;background:#333;display:inline-block;"></span>
+</div>
+<script>
+  var CMD = "npx hyperframes init";
+  var typed = document.getElementById("typed-text");
+
+  // Cursor blinks
+  tl.to(".cursor", { opacity: 0, duration: 0.12, yoyo: true, repeat: 20, ease: "steps(1)" }, 0);
+
+  // Type each character
+  for (var i = 0; i < CMD.length; i++) {
+    (function (idx) {
+      tl.call(
+        function () {
+          typed.textContent = CMD.substring(0, idx + 1);
+        },
+        null,
+        (idx / CMD.length) * 0.9,
+      );
+    })(i);
+  }
+</script>
+```
+
+Use `ease: "steps(1)"` for cursor blink — creates discrete on/off.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Variable Font Axis Animation
+
+Animate font-variation-settings to reshape glyphs in real-time. Works with variable fonts that have axes like optical size (opsz), weight (wght), softness (SOFT).
+
+```html
+<style>
+  /* Load the captured local variable font — do NOT use Google Fonts @import.
+     Replace this placeholder with an @font-face pointing to ../capture/assets/fonts/. */
+  @font-face {
+    font-family: "Fraunces";
+    src: url("../capture/assets/fonts/Fraunces-Variable.woff2") format("woff2");
+    font-weight: 100 900;
+    font-style: normal;
+    font-display: block;
+  }
+  .wordmark {
+    --opsz: 144;
+    --wght: 440;
+    font-family: "Fraunces", serif;
+    font-variation-settings:
+      "opsz" var(--opsz),
+      "wght" var(--wght);
+    font-size: 200px;
+  }
+</style>
+<script>
+  tl.to(".wordmark", { "--opsz": 72, "--wght": 300, duration: 0.45, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
+</script>
+```
+
+The glyph subtly reshapes as axes animate — optical size adjusts detail, weight changes thickness.
+
+---
+
+## 9. GSAP MotionPathPlugin
+
+Animate an element along an arbitrary SVG path. Use for sliders following curves, particles along trajectories, guided reveals.
+
+```html
+<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/MotionPathPlugin.min.js"></script>
+<div class="dot" style="width:20px;height:20px;background:#2a8a7c;border-radius:50%;"></div>
+<script>
+  gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin);
+  tl.to(
+    ".dot",
+    {
+      motionPath: { path: "M 12 300 C 280 280 520 80 820 50 S 1200 48 1308 38" },
+      duration: 1.5,
+      ease: "power2.out",
+    },
+    0,
+  );
+</script>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Velocity-Matched Transitions
+
+Exit one beat and enter the next with matched velocities — creates perceived continuous motion.
+
+```javascript
+// EXIT (in outgoing composition): accelerating with blur
+tl.to(
+  ".content",
+  {
+    y: -150,
+    filter: "blur(30px)",
+    opacity: 0,
+    duration: 0.33,
+    ease: "power2.in", // accelerates
+  },
+  beatDuration - 0.33,
+);
+
+// ENTRY (in incoming composition): decelerating from blur
+gsap.set(".content", { y: 150, filter: "blur(30px)" });
+tl.to(
+  ".content",
+  {
+    y: 0,
+    filter: "blur(0px)",
+    duration: 1.0,
+    ease: "power2.out", // decelerates
+  },
+  0,
+);
+```
+
+The fastest point of both curves meets at the cut — the viewer perceives smooth camera motion. Match ease families: `.in` for exits, `.out` for entries.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Audio-Reactive Animation
+
+Drive any GSAP-tweenable property from the playing audio. Bass pulses a logo on kick drums. Treble glows a CTA on cymbals. Amplitude breathes a background during quiet phrases. The result: motion that feels locked to the track in a way pre-authored tweens never can.
+
+**When to use:** Any video with music or dramatic narration — brand reels, product launches, hype edits. Skip for calm/tutorial pacing.
+
+**How it works:** Pre-extract audio frequency bands into a JSON file, then sample per-frame via `tl.call()`:
+
+```js
+// audio-data.json: { fps: 30, totalFrames: 900, frames: [{ bands: [0.82, 0.45, 0.31, ...] }, ...] }
+for (var f = 0; f < AUDIO_DATA.totalFrames; f++) {
+  tl.call(
+    (function (frame) {
+      return function () {
+        var bass = frame.bands[0]; // 0–1
+        var treble = frame.bands[13];
+        gsap.set(".logo", { scale: 1 + bass * 0.04 }); // 3–4% pulse on bass
+        gsap.set(".cta", { filter: `drop-shadow(0 0 ${treble * 24}px #00C3FF)` });
+      };
+    })(AUDIO_DATA.frames[f]),
+    [],
+    f / AUDIO_DATA.fps,
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Per-frame sampling is required — a single tween will not react. Use the extract script:
+
+```bash
+python3 skills/hyperframes-creative/scripts/extract-audio-data.py narration.wav --fps 30 --bands 16 -o audio-data.json
+```
+
+Keep text/logo intensity subtle (≤5% scale, ≤30% glow) — audio-reactive motion on tiny elements reads as jitter. Bigger backgrounds can push to 10–30%.
+
+**Never do:** equalizer bars, spectrum analyzers, waveform displays, strobing, rainbow color cycling. The audio provides _timing and intensity_; the visual vocabulary still comes from the brand. See `skills/hyperframes-creative/references/audio-reactive.md` for the full API and anti-patterns.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Clip-Path Reveal Masks
+
+A fixed window that content slides through — text or images enter from one side and are clipped by an invisible boundary. Different from SVG path drawing: the mask is static, the content moves.
+
+```html
+<div id="reveal-mask">
+  <div id="reveal-content">Your headline text here</div>
+</div>
+<style>
+  #reveal-mask {
+    position: absolute;
+    inset: 0;
+    clip-path: inset(0 200px 0 0); /* clips 200px from right */
+    display: flex;
+    align-items: center;
+    justify-content: center;
+  }
+  #reveal-content {
+    font-size: 108px;
+    white-space: nowrap;
+  }
+</style>
+<script>
+  // Content starts offscreen right, slides left through the mask window
+  gsap.set("#reveal-content", { x: 400, opacity: 0 });
+  tl.to("#reveal-content", { x: 0, opacity: 1, duration: 1, ease: "power2.out" }, 0);
+</script>
+```
+
+Variations: `clip-path: circle(0% at 50% 50%)` → `circle(100%)` for iris reveals. `clip-path: polygon(...)` for custom shapes.
+
+---
+
+## 13. WebGL Fragment Shader Art
+
+Full GPU generative backgrounds — domain-warped FBM noise, cosine palette coloring, iridescent organic patterns. Far richer than Canvas 2D.
+
+```html
+<canvas id="shader-bg" width="1920" height="1080"></canvas>
+<script>
+  var canvas = document.getElementById("shader-bg");
+  var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");
+  if (!gl) {
+    /* fallback to gradient */
+  }
+
+  var fsrc = `
+    precision mediump float;
+    varying vec2 v_uv;
+    uniform float u_time;
+    uniform vec2 u_res;
+
+    float hash(vec2 p) { return fract(sin(dot(p, vec2(127.1, 311.7))) * 43758.5453); }
+    float noise(vec2 p) {
+      vec2 i = floor(p), f = fract(p);
+      f = f * f * (3.0 - 2.0 * f);
+      return mix(mix(hash(i), hash(i+vec2(1,0)), f.x),
+                 mix(hash(i+vec2(0,1)), hash(i+vec2(1,1)), f.x), f.y);
+    }
+    float fbm(vec2 p) {
+      float v = 0.0, a = 0.5;
+      mat2 R = mat2(0.8, 0.6, -0.6, 0.8);
+      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { v += a*noise(p); p = R*p*2.02; a *= 0.5; }
+      return v;
+    }
+    vec3 palette(float t) {
+      return vec3(0.5)+vec3(0.5)*cos(6.28318*(vec3(1)*t+vec3(0.0,0.33,0.67)));
+    }
+    void main() {
+      vec2 uv = v_uv; uv.x *= u_res.x/u_res.y;
+      float t = u_time * 0.4;
+      vec2 q = vec2(fbm(uv*3.0+t*0.3), fbm(uv*3.0+vec2(5.2,1.3)+t*0.2));
+      vec2 r = vec2(fbm(uv*3.0+q*4.0+vec2(1.7,9.2)+t*0.15), fbm(uv*3.0+q*4.0+vec2(8.3,2.8)+t*0.1));
+      float n = fbm(uv*3.0+r*2.0);
+      vec3 col = palette(n*2.0+t*0.2);
+      col = mix(col, palette(length(q)*3.0+t*0.1), 0.4);
+      col *= 0.7+0.3*n;
+      float vig = 1.0-0.4*length(v_uv-0.5);
+      gl_FragColor = vec4(col*vig, 1.0);
+    }
+  `;
+
+  // Compile, link, set up fullscreen quad, then render via GSAP proxy:
+  var proxy = { time: 0.5 };
+  tl.to(
+    proxy,
+    {
+      time: 5,
+      duration: BEAT_DUR,
+      ease: "none",
+      onUpdate: function () {
+        gl.uniform1f(uTime, proxy.time);
+        gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
+      },
+    },
+    0,
+  );
+</script>
+```
+
+Always include a Canvas 2D gradient fallback for environments without WebGL.
