- description: Agent Media OS, the single skill for every media need in a HyperFrames project. Resolve BGM, SFX, image, icon, brand logo, voice, color grade, or LUT into a frozen local file or paste-ready block + ledger record (one verb, `resolve`); generate via TTS / music / image models when the catalog misses; produce voiceover, transcription, captions, and background removal through one shared audio engine; operate on media (cut / reframe / transform); and reuse assets across projects. Keeps search noise on disk, hands the agent one path or block. Use for any audio, image, icon, logo, voiceover, caption, color-grading, or media-asset need.

# media-use

The media OS for HyperFrames: resolve · generate · operate · remember — every media type, one skill, zero context noise.

First run: install and sign in to the `heygen` CLI (the free-usage path), then verify with `node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/resolve.mjs --doctor`. Setup and providers: `references/setup-providers.md`.

## Resolve — the one verb

```bash

node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/resolve.mjs --type <type> --intent "<description>" --project <dir>

```

Returns one line: `resolved <id> → <path> (<type>, <metadata>)`. All search noise stays on disk.

| Type | One-line intent |

| ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| `bgm` | background music (HeyGen catalog, 10k+ tracks) |

| `sfx` | sound effects (bundled 19-file library + catalog) |

| `image` | photos, backgrounds (HeyGen asset search, 75k+ vectors) |

| `icon` | icons, symbols (transparent) |

| `logo` | official brand marks (svgl → simple-icons → GitHub avatar → favicon; never redrawn) |

| `voice` | TTS voiceover (HeyGen free-usage path; optional local Kokoro) |

- | `grade` | paste-ready HyperFrames `data-color-grading` block |

- | `lut` | reusable validated `.cube` file |

+ | `grade` | measured correction candidate; broad polish/stylization follows Media Treatments |

+ | `lut` | user-provided or explicitly chosen reusable validated `.cube` file |

Before resolving fresh, list reusable candidates with `--candidates` and judge fit yourself — reuse rules, all flags, ingest (`--from`), and adopt are in `references/resolve.md`.

+ ## Treat broad visual feedback as media intent

+ When a user explicitly asks to fix, polish, stylize, obscure, emphasize, or

+ reveal photographic media, read `references/media-treatments.md` even if they

+ do not name color grading or an effect. Inspect the real `<img>`/`<video>`,

+ choose one primary intent, then use deterministic persistence and verification.

+ Use a matching recipe as an optional tested seed, or inspect

+ `hyperframes media-treatment --capabilities --json`, then request one relevant

+ family/effect with `--capability <id>` and assemble a custom treatment from

+ canonical controls. Never load `--all` for ordinary authoring. A treatment may

+ compose correction, a preset, finishing, compatible shader effects, supported

+ keyframes, and optional Registry overlays. Add only source-justified bounded

+ tuning and compatible parts, never effects merely to make the result look more

+ sophisticated. Persist the final combined payload with

+ `hyperframes media-treatment`.

+ Use one progressively escalating workflow. For video, inspect one labeled

+ early/middle/late contact sheet rather than reading frames separately. Apply one

+ candidate and inspect one after-sheet for ordinary correction or polish.

+ Escalate to individual frames or moving draft evidence only when the result is

+ ambiguous, temporal, stylized, LUT-based, HDR/LOG-sensitive, private, or

+ brand-critical.

+ For ordinary correction or polish, persist the final treatment's

+ preset/adjustment JSON.

+ Do not generate a `.cube` LUT merely to encode exposure, shadows, contrast, or

+ warmth. Use a LUT only when the user supplies one or the selected treatment

+ explicitly owns one. `resolve --type grade --for ... --analyze` is measurement

+ evidence, not permission to replace the chosen treatment with a generated LUT.

+ Do not recreate supported vignette, grain, blur, pixelate, color, or treatment

+ effects with CSS/SVG overlays; that bypasses Studio controls and the canonical

+ preview/render shader path.

## Be proactive — run a media opportunity pass

The human usually can't tell which media would lift the piece. You can. When you build or review a composition, do **one** grounded scan and then **ask once** — don't silently add, and don't nag per asset.

Surface an opportunity only when a concrete signal is present:

- | Signal detected | Offer |

- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

- | On-screen text / a script with no voiceover | TTS voiceover (audio engine) |

- | Emoji or a `<div>` styled as an icon | resolve real `icon`s |

- | Image that is a placeholder, tiny, or upscaled-looking | a better `image` (and/or upscale — see `references/operations.md`) |

- | Hard scene cuts / transitions with no sound | transition `sfx` |

- | A piece over ~10s with no music bed | `bgm` |

- | Footage that reads under/over-exposed or color-cast | a corrective `grade` (analyze with `grade --for`, preview with `hyperframes grade-compare`) |

+ | Photographic media that feels visually flat or off-topic | one specific source-appropriate preset or custom treatment, with the intended target named |

+ | A meaningful media entrance/reveal that feels static | one supported seek-safe treatment animation; preserve color unless the request also justifies a preset |

Rules that keep this a help, not nagware: **grounded, not generic** (no signal → no suggestion); **opinionated + concrete** (propose the specific fix with defaults chosen — the human approves **all / some / none**); **once per project** (one consolidated ask; respect "leave it"); **surface, never silently mutate** (color grades especially: propose and preview — a gray-world "correction" ruins an intentional sunset or neon look).
