What it does
A short line ("CODE / IS / ALL / YOU / NEED…") lands one word per beat, each over a different full-bleed shader (plasma, matrix rain, truchet tiles, a tunnel, fbm fire, a synthwave grid, VHS noise) under a global CRT pass with vignette and chromatic aberration. It shows off code-rendered motion with zero generative risk. An agent detects the beat grid of a track, assigns words to beats, picks shaders from Paper Shaders presets plus custom GLSL, drives every time uniform from the frame index in HyperFrames, and exports an MP4 and a dithered GIF.

How an agent would make it: Line of ≤10 words + track → beat grid → one word per beat on a full-bleed shader (Paper Shaders + custom GLSL) → global CRT and chromatic pass → HyperFrames render → MP4 + dithered GIF
