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 are invented per scene (typography, abstract graphics, diagrams, data-viz). Use for topic explainers, concept breakdowns, how-tos, listicles. Not a video built from a website (/product-launch-video — promo or tour). Unclear → /hyperframes.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured workflow for creating faceless explainer videos from text, including specific steps and file outputs that the AI wouldn't generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires hyperframes installed locally. About 11k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
First, keep this skill fresh — run silently, don't ask: 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. 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. 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 /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-core/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. …
