Faceless Explainer
Turn arbitrary text — an article, notes, a topic, a brief — into a faceless explainer video: there is no site or footage to capture, so the visuals…

First, keep this skill fresh — confirm with the user before running:
npx hyperframes skills update faceless-explainer. A fast no-op when everything is current; otherwise it refreshes this skill plus the core domain skills it depends on before you rely on them.

Faceless Explainer to HyperFrames
Use this skill to turn a body of text into an explainer video: pick a design system, plan a teaching story, and build it frame by frame in HyperFrames. Faceless means every visual is invented downstream — there is no capture step and no real asset inventory.
The front door is
/hyperframes. You are the orchestrator. Run each step, verify its gate, and only then continue. This skill is for explaining a topic from text, with no product and no website to capture. Any other intent, a bare "make a video", or any uncertainty → read/hyperframesfirst — the intent layer owns every route decision, and a fresh creation arriving here withoutBRIEF.mdgoes through it anyway (Setup's opening rule).
You are the orchestrator. Work in videos/<project>/. Run steps in order and pass each gate before continuing. User-gated steps are Step 0, Step 3, and Step 6. Read ../hyperframes/references/brief-contract.md before Step 0 — it defines the gate types and how BRIEF.md's flow/storyboard derive the mode that governs the Step 3/4/6 gates. Do every step yourself except Step 5, where you dispatch one sub-agent per frame. Do not put design or motion rules here; those live in the frame-worker sub-agent, this skill's local ../hyperframes-animation/rules/ + ../hyperframes-animation/blueprints/, and hyperframes-creative.
Workflow: Step 0 setup → hyperframes.json; Step 1 brief → capture/extracted/; Step 2 design system → frame.md; Step 3 storyboard/script → STORYBOARD.md and SCRIPT.md; Step 3.1 audio → audio_meta.json; Step 4 visual design → enriched STORYBOARD.md; Step 5 frames → compositions/frames/NN-*.html and index.html; Step 6 final render → renders/video.mp4.
