How to make an analog-horror PSA short — the stenciled-pictogram / robo-broadcast / VHS-overlay format (faceless, 10 scenes × ~3s, 9:16, ~30s total). A domain overlay on the standard pipeline that supplies the IF / DO-NOT / BUT / AND scenario structure, the locked yellow-on-black 1970s-civil-defense pictogram visual STYLE, the chroma-key-to-alpha rule (icons must be transparent PNGs before composition), the robo-PSA voice profile (ElevenLabs "Alerter" community voice + ALL CAPS input + stabil...

Audio-first long-form explainer pipeline — takes one audio file (or a YouTube/podcast URL → audio) and produces a faceless overlay-driven video in the dev-essay / tech-podcast style (5-30 minutes, 16:9, no talking head). Orchestrates the existing `ralphy` primitives: yt-dlp pull → silence-remove → ElevenLabs Scribe v1 word-level transcript → Gemini audio-describe → LLM claim segmentation → per-claim overlay-type planner (code-block / terminal / tweet-card / browser-frame / screenshot / meme /...

How to make a multi-style multi-slide social carousel (5-10 slides × N styles) where the deliverable is the baked-text image itself — no HyperFrames compose. A domain overlay on the standard pipeline: supplies the cover-first checkpoint (one cover per style → user review → fill the rest), the dual-ref cohesion rule (`--ref mascot --ref {style}-01` on every fill slide), the mascot-fit rule (a clean cute mascot does NOT survive gritty/grunge styles — build a distressed character variant for tho...

Author a new HyperFrames registry block (caption style, VFX block, transition, lower third) or component (text effect, overlay, snippet) and ship it as an upstream PR to the hyperframes repo. Use ONLY when the user wants to CONTRIBUTE to the public catalog — for in-project caption/transition authoring use the `hyperframes` skill, for installing existing registry items use the `hyperframes-registry` skill.

Turn a free-form brain-dump into a clean, ordered set of `notes/issues/*.md` work items. The user tags `/dev-issues` and writes a long stream of everything in their head — features, refactors, bugs, half-formed ideas, product direction. This skill decomposes that stream into discrete, well-shaped, individually-actionable issue files, asks clarifying questions only where a decision is genuinely the user's, collision-checks against existing notes + roadmap so it updates rather than duplicates, ...

Run an autonomous, issue-driven development loop over Ralphy itself — the same cadence as a focused maintainer session: pick the open `notes/issues/`, order them by dependency, then for each issue dispatch a scoped sub-agent, review its diff, run the real gates, and commit + push to main before moving to the next. Sequential by default (one agent at a time) so changes never collide on shared files. Default scope is ALL open issues with a safety limit of 25; the user can widen the scope or rai...

Turn the active finished project into a published, library-discoverable template in one shot — infer its media `format` (video/image/carousel/fb-creative/motion-design/poster/sticker-pack), confirm format + slug + category with the user, run `ralphy template extract`, fill the generated `template.yaml` (tags, model stack, cost rollup + lessons from the project's `postmortem/`), seed a forward-compatible showcase entry from the render (issue 055), migrate heavy locked refs to `ralphy-assets/po...

Cut a new release of the `ralphy` CLI across all 3 distribution channels in one shot — GitHub Release (binaries + checksums), Homebrew tap (`alecs5am/homebrew-tap`), and npm (`@alecs5am/ralphy`). Proposes a semver bump from commit history (Conventional-Commits-ish), drafts a grouped changelog, bumps version files in lockstep, refreshes `docs-mintlify/`, then tag-pushes + verifies each channel published. USE WHEN the user types `/dev-release`, says "cut a release", "publish a release", "write ...

Manage Ralphy's own task system — the `notes/` capture inbox (`ideas/`, `issues/`, `decisions/`) and the committed `roadmap/` board (`todo/` → `doing/` → `done/` / `cancelled/`, one file per task, status = folder, IDs `XX.YY.ZZ`). Three jobs: (1) CAPTURE — turn a tagged thought into a correctly-shaped, correctly-placed note or roadmap task; (2) ITERATE — pick up open work (`notes/issues/`, `roadmap/doing/`, `roadmap/todo/`), do it, and move the file across statuses with frontmatter kept in sy...

Quality evaluation of rendered UGC mp4s — scene segmentation, audio loudness / dead-air, caption density, and per-scene visual analysis. Produces an actionable report (eval.json + eval-report.md) sized for a downstream fixer agent. USE WHEN the user asks to "evaluate / score / grade / review / QA / check quality of" a rendered video, asks "is this video good?", drops an mp4 path with no other instruction, mentions "find issues / problems / artifacts", asks for retention or scroll-stop assessm...

How to make an N-creative FB / Meta / IG static ad pack for a real brand — generalized niche know-how, not one specific ad. A domain overlay on the standard pipeline: supplies the 5-set creative matrix (A real-people · B graphic / typography · C proof / data-viz · D meme · E niche-audience), the site-grounding pre-flight (curl CSS hex + Playwright hero screenshot used as `--ref` on every gen), the true-parallel batch shape on `openai/gpt-5.4-image-2`, the per-set prompt cookbook (testimonial ...

GSAP animation reference for HyperFrames. Covers gsap.to(), from(), fromTo(), easing, stagger, defaults, timelines (gsap.timeline(), position parameter, labels, nesting, playback), and performance (transforms, will-change, quickTo). Use when writing GSAP animations in HyperFrames compositions.

HyperFrames CLI dev loop — `npx hyperframes` for scaffolding (init), validation (lint, inspect), preview, render, and environment troubleshooting (doctor, browser, info, upgrade). Use when running any of these commands or troubleshooting the HyperFrames build/render environment. For asset preprocessing commands (`tts`, `transcribe`, `remove-background`), invoke the `hyperframes-media` skill instead.

Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (cro...

Fresh-machine bootstrap of the ralphy CLI binary. Read docs/playbooks/ralphy-install.md FIRST via the Read tool — every time, no exceptions. USE WHEN the ralphy binary is NOT yet on PATH and the user needs to get it onto their machine — install the standalone binary from GitHub Releases, ensure bun + ffmpeg are present, run the interactive setup wizard, link to the user's checkout of ugc-cli. Once `ralphy --version` works and the project is linked, hand off to ralph-core for in-tree dev tasks...

Analyze a reference image (or video frame) and emit a ready-to-paste structured JSON prompt that captures every visual quality needed to reproduce it through `ralphy generate image --prompt-file`. The reverse of the prompt cookbook: image in -> dense JSON prompt out (scene / style / technical / materials / environment / composition / quality blocks; add a `motion` block for image-to-video). Adapts the schema to ralphy's model stack — `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` for multi-ref consistency, `gp...

Lottie and dotLottie adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when embedding lottie-web JSON animations, .lottie files, @lottiefiles/dotlottie-web players, registering instances on window.__hfLottie, or making After Effects exports deterministic in HyperFrames.

Audit the health of every `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md` and fill icon gaps on the landing skills marketplace. Two jobs: (1) AUDIT — for each skill folder, check that frontmatter parses, `name` is kebab-case (`/^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$/`) and matches the folder, `description` is ≤1536 chars, `namespace` is `user` or `maintainer`, and a `.claude/skills/<slug>` symlink exists and resolves; report drift. Complements `lint:skills`, does not replace it. (2) ICONS — detect skills with no `landing/public/asse...

How to make a vivid, character-driven brand POSTER — a single still image, not a video. A generalized overlay on the art-director step: supplies the poster-as-landing architecture (top banner → massive beveled wordmark → chest-up hero photo → scattered vinyl-sticker collage → copy block → thin footer strip), the parameterized slot set (brand, exclamation word, hero, product, palette, original blob glyph, aesthetic register), the model stack (gpt-5.4-image-2 for crisp typography, gemini fallba...

Distil the conversation we just had into a structured 6-file postmortem set under `workspace/projects/<id>/postmortem/` for the active ralphy project. Splits the record into chronological chat history, lessons learned, ralphy-CLI bug list (with the raw `bunx` / `ffmpeg` / `curl` workarounds the agent had to reach for), model-and-cost rollup, and workflow / playbook fixes. Use this skill whenever the user types `/postmortem`, asks for a "retro" / "lessons learned" / "what did we learn" / "writ...

Deep-research workflow for UGC reference material — turns one or more URLs / handles / trend queries into a single cited research report (report.md + sources.json) that a scenarist or art-director can act on. Aggregates the per-URL `ralphy ref` chain (yt-dlp pull → frames → transcript → vision → audio-describe → blueprint) and adds a cross-source LLM synthesis pass on top. USE WHEN the user drops a URL on TikTok / Reel / Shorts / YouTube / X / Reddit, mentions an `@handle` to audit, asks "how...

Turns a finished `workspace/projects/<id>/` (with optional postmortem/) into a reusable vibe-reference or vibe-style template under `templates/<category>/<slug>/`. Extracts the durable bits — composition skeleton, prompt cookbook with `{{slots}}`, model stack notes, the model+cost rollup, lessons learned — and migrates heavy locked-ref assets (master shots, music beds) to `ralphy-assets/pool/` so they stay reusable across future projects. The resulting template is immediately discoverable via...

TypeGPU and raw WebGPU adapter patterns for HyperFrames. Use when creating GPU-rendered compositions with TypeGPU, raw WebGPU, WGSL fragment shaders, compute pipelines, liquid glass effects, particle systems, or any canvas layer driven by navigator.gpu that responds to HyperFrames hf-seek events.

How to make a realistic AI UGC ad for a product — generalized niche know-how that looks real and doesn't feel AI. A domain overlay on the standard pipeline: supplies the shooting-script shape (timestamp | VO | shot | mannerism), the creator-persona build, the problem-mirror hook, the trust-through-mannerisms rule, and the 9:16 ~15s UGC format defaults. Works for ANY product the user names — their skincare line, a no-name app, a gadget. The skill supplies the know-how; the user supplies the pr...

How to recreate a short UGC-style video with a DIFFERENT person/character while keeping everything else identical — setting, action, props, audio, camera feel. The craft layer behind the remix-with-swap pattern ("same video, but replace the creator with X"). Supplies the source-video analysis step, the single-continuous-scene prompt shape, the face-lock rule, prop-negative discipline, and explicit body-mechanics that keep the swap faithful. Works for any source clip + any replacement characte...

How to make a GTA-V-style video in the Rockstar-crime-cinema aesthetic — generalized niche-style know-how, concept to camera-ready. A style overlay on the standard pipeline: supplies the visual DNA (teal-and-orange grade, golden-hour Los-Santos light, low-angle power shots, slow-push establishing, helicopter pull-backs), the satirical double-register tone, the location→character→conflict→theme scene logic, and the shot-list shape. Works for any premise — a fake-brand ad, a heist beat, a stree...

How to make a stylized cartoon / painterly action animation of ANY subject — generalized niche know-how, not one specific video. A domain overlay on the standard pipeline that supplies the two pillars of good toon-action: (1) a seedance-2.0 t2v action-generation guide (the literal painterly STYLE block, the AUDIO-POLICY block, the named-style-reference silhouette-lock trick, multi-clip continuity anchoring, and WHY kling is wrong for non-default physics) and (2) GPT character-generation promp...

How to make a generic UGC unboxing video for socials — generalized niche know-how, not a single video. A domain overlay on the standard pipeline (intake → scenarist → art-director → editor): supplies the beat structure (cold-open hook → reveal → detail macro → reaction → CTA), hands-only framing and lens vocabulary, the ASMR-leaning SFX register, the default model stack, and the niche's common failure modes. Works for ANY product the user names — their coffee grinder, a no-name skincare set, ...
