## What it does

Builds a HyperFrames slideshow served by `hyperframes present`: discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching hotspot navigation and presenter mode with speaker notes. It can also turn an existing web page into a deck and covers handing it off as a standalone harness.

## Use when

- A presentation or pitch deck rather than a rendered video
- Interactive decks with reveals or branching
- Converting a web page into slides

## Not for

- Rendered MP4 output (use HyperFrames)

## Install

- Claude Code: `claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes && claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes`
- Codex: `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill slideshow -a codex`
- Cursor: `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill slideshow -a cursor`
- Gemini CLI: `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill slideshow -a gemini-cli`
