slideshow
The facts
Its description
Build a HyperFrames slideshow to present live - slides, fragment reveals, branching hotspots and presenter mode with speaker notes, served by `hyperframes present` - or turn an existing page into one. Use when the person wants a deck or presentation rather than a rendered video.
The description the agent reads to decide when to use it.
When it starts
A person wants a live presentation or deck (slides, reveals, branching, speaker notes) built with HyperFrames, or wants an existing web page converted into one, rather than a rendered video.
Things a person might say (the model's guesses)
- “Make me a slide deck I can present live with speaker notes”
- “Turn this web page into a presentation with clickable branches”
- “Build a HyperFrames slideshow for my pitch, not an MP4”

Usage beacon: run npx hyperframes events --skill=slideshow once as this skill starts. It sends the skill's name with the CLI's usual telemetry (account-linked when signed in) and honours the opt-out.
HyperFrames slideshow
A slideshow is a normal composition (the /hyperframes contract applies) plus one JSON island that says which scenes are slides and how they connect. The deliverable is a running deck, not an MP4.
What changes from a video project
- Each slide is a top-level scene in the composition file:
data-composition-id,data-start,data-duration,data-label,data-width,data-height. There is no master root composition wrapping them. - One island per composition, near the top of
<body>, written in the HTML (never generated by script;presentreads the file statically):
<script type="application/hyperframes-slideshow+json">
{
"slides": [
{ "sceneId": "hook", "notes": "Pause on the number." },
{
"sceneId": "problem",
"fragments": [11.0, 15.0],
"hotspots": [
{
"id": "h1",
"label": "Where does $40B come from?",
"target": "market-detail",
"region": { "x": 55, "y": 60, "w": 40, "h": 20 }
}
]
}
],
"slideSequences": [
{ "id": "market-detail", "label": "Market sizing", "slides": [{ "sceneId": "mkt-math" }] }
]
}
</script>sceneIdequals a scene'sdata-composition-id(or givestartTime/endTime).notesare presenter-only.ttsScript,ttsAudioUrlandttsDurationMsare reserved and not wired yet.- Fragments are absolute timeline times (the same clock as
data-start, not offsets inside the slide) within the slide's[start, end]. Navigation seeks, it never plays: each hold state must look right when the timeline is seeked straight to that time. A slide without fragments enters at a rest frame inside it. - Branch slides are ordinary scenes listed only in
slideSequences, never in the mainslidesarray. A hotspot'stargetis a sequenceid;regionis a percentage box (omit it for a full-slide button). Back returns to the slide that held the hotspot. - Text the audience must read is at least 40 px at 1920×1080. Before hand-building any named visual, search
npx hyperframes catalog --query "<the visual, in English>" --json: it ranks the whole registry with nothing installed.
Porting an existing page
- Keep the source's look, motion, interactions and media behaviour; port its widgets, players and visualizers rather than approximating them.
- Movement the page drove by scroll, wheel or a camera layer becomes a camera move from one focal point to the next on slide navigation, never a page visibly scrolling. Keep each move direct, without reversals the source doesn't make.
- Screenshots, posts, charts, code and any image with readable text are evidence: keep their aspect (
object-fit: contain) and check all four edges for crops. - Every copied
<video>/<audio>needsdata-startanddata-duration(data-has-audio="true"when its sound plays), and nopreload="none". Custom media chrome reads the native element's events andcurrentTime, never its own timer. - Hidden stacked slides need
opacity: 0,visibility: hiddenandpointer-events: nonetogether, or an invisible layer swallows clicks.
Present and hand off
- Never render a deck to MP4:
renderkeeps only the first scene and truncates silently. For stills,snapshot --ateach slide. - Run
npx hyperframes check --jsonuntil it is clean. The slideshow rule checks that everysceneIdresolves, every hotspottargetexists, fragments sit inside their slide, and main-line slides don't overlap. - Serve it with
npx hyperframes present <project-dir>and hand over the URL it prints: "Click Present, or press P, to open the audience tab." - The project's root
index.htmlshould open as a working deck:<hyperframes-slideshow>around<hyperframes-player src="…">, with the raw composition in a subfolder if needed. The component owns Present (P), Prev/Next, the counter, global mute, fullscreen, swipe, hotspots, presenter notes (editable, kept per deck) and stopping media on slide exit. Don't build your own versions of any of these. - Screen sharing: in Google Meet share the audience tab, which keeps rendering in the background. In Zoom drag the audience tab into its own window and share that; a fully covered window freezes.
