name: product-launch-video
description: "Turn a product or marketing URL, pasted script, or brief into a product launch / promo video — SaaS promos, feature reveals, product demos, app and company launches. Use when the user wants to market, launch, promote, or reveal a product; the default for any commercial URL. Site tours / showcases of a website route here too — the brief carries the show-it-as-is intent. Unclear → /hyperframes."

> **First, keep this skill fresh — confirm with the user before running:** `npx hyperframes skills update product-launch-video`. 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.

> **media-use**: Before sourcing audio/images/logos, call `/media-use` to resolve BGM/SFX/images from the HeyGen catalog and brand logos from their official sources. Run `--adopt` first to register existing assets. See `/media-use` skill.

> **figma source**: If the source is a figma.com URL, run `/figma` first — asset export, brand tokens, and components/storyboard reconstruction if needed — then build this workflow from its output. Don't drive Figma via raw MCP tools directly: that skips SVG sanitization, `.media/manifest.jsonl` provenance, and brand-token `var()` binding, so a later brand change can't propagate without a full re-import.

# Product Launch to HyperFrames

Use this skill to capture a product, understand its brand, plan a launch video, and build it frame by frame in HyperFrames.

> **The front door is `/hyperframes`.** You are the orchestrator. Run each step, verify its gate, and only then continue to the next step. This skill is for a **product being marketed, launched, promoted, or revealed**, including requests such as "promo for our site" when the purpose is promotional. A site tour / showcase ask stays here too: `BRIEF.md` carries the show-it-as-is intent, and the captured screens become the assets the video features. Any other intent, a bare "make a video", or any uncertainty → read `/hyperframes` first — the intent layer owns every route decision, and a fresh creation arriving here without `BRIEF.md` goes 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 capture -> `capture/`; 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`.

## Step 0: Setup

Goal: Enter with a confirmed brief, create the HyperFrames project, and make the brief durable.

**The brief is confirmed by the intent layer, not by questions asked here.** Opening rule, in order: **(1)** `BRIEF.md` exists → read it and ask nothing — the brief is settled, and its `flow`/`storyboard` derive the mode (brief contract § 1). **(2)** No `BRIEF.md` but the project exists (`hyperframes.json` / `STORYBOARD.md` on disk) → resume from the storyboard's frontmatter and the recorded preferences; never re-interrogate a half-built project. **(3)** Neither — a fresh creation request that arrived here directly → read `/hyperframes` and run its intent layer (`references/intent-interview.md`): it checks recipes and remembered defaults, conducts this
