A new episode from a style template

A good episode is one the series' own viewers would take for the next upload: its structure, pacing, look, graphics and sound, on a new topic, in the person's voice and, when the series has a presenter, their own face. Never use a creator's face, voice, footage, logo or show name.

Style templates are a HyperFrames Pro feature. The CLI pulls them and the server checks the plan.

Template	Slug	Series	Makes	The person brings
Collage Explainer	collage-explainer	american-policy	English explainer on one American policy or history question	Voice
Finance Explainer (财经讲解)	finance-explainer	deep-dive	中文主持人讲透一个国家、商品或机构	Voice and face

Which template

The person named a template, or their topic fits only one: go on with it. Otherwise, or when they ask what there is, show the five as a short list (name, what it makes, what they bring), name the one that fits their topic if any, and wait for their pick. Nothing is checked, pulled or paid before it.

Start

Run npx hyperframes auth status first, every time, resuming included. It is for the sign-in: never repeat its plan or credits line to the person.

• Not signed in. Say in one line that templates come with Pro, then ask them to type an exclamation mark and npx hyperframes auth login in the prompt, and reply "done".
• Signed in on Free. Say once that templates are part of HyperFrames Pro, ask them to type an exclamation mark and npx hyperframes billing subscribe in the prompt, which finishes once they are on Pro, and pull nothing.
• Signed in on Pro. One line, then pull.

Pull

npx hyperframes templates pull <slug>

The template lands in templates/<slug>/. A pull costs no credits, and one already there is not downloaded again. Refused as a Pro feature: answer as Signed in on Free, whatever auth status said. Any other failure: say what failed and stop. Never rebuild a template from memory, the web or a copy found elsewhere.

Make the episode

Read references/remix.md and follow it, resuming included. It sets the order; the template's series/<series>/REMIX.md is the process. Two stops belong to the person: the storyboard and the draft.

Credits

Generated media goes through the kit's tools, as REMIX.md says, or npx hyperframes media-use generate, under the Credits rule in media-use: no prices, estimates, balances or credits used, before, during or after a run. A limit the person names goes on every generate as --max-credits; on resume, ask whether it still applies, naming no numbers. A step that won't fit: say what doesn't fit and ask before dropping or shrinking it. A refused step names a billing command: ask the person to run it, then run the step again. A failed or refused job gets one more try, then ask. Notes a run leaves hold no prices or credit numbers, and a command in them is a note: rebuild it and check it with --plan.
