feat(skills): add music-to-video, a beat-synced music-driven video workflow#1665
Conversation
Add the music-to-video skill: turns a music/BGM track into a kinetic typography video. Includes the director/builder/music-reader/finalize agents, reference contracts, beatgrid analysis script, motion-primitive library, and starter templates.

… frame sub-compositions
gsap_css_transform_conflict existed but missed the most common real-world
shape (a label centered with CSS translateX(-50%) plus a GSAP xPercent that
stacks to -100% in the capture path), for three independent reasons:
- selector matching was exact-string, so a scoped/grouped GSAP selector
("#root .label, #root .sub") never matched a CSS class rule (.label)
- the acorn parser only captures timeline-rooted calls (tl.to/tl.set), so a
standalone gsap.set("#root .label", { xPercent: -50 }) was invisible to it
- lintProject read compositions/ non-recursively, so per-frame compositions
in compositions/frames/*.html were never linted at all
Fix: token-decompose grouped/descendant/compound selectors and match by
id/class against CSS transform rules; additionally scan standalone gsap.*
transform calls; and recurse into compositions/ subdirectories so frame
sub-compositions are linted.
Adds unit tests (grouped gsap.set repro, descendant tl.to, negative case) and
an end-to-end lintProject test that writes compositions/frames/04-*.html and
asserts the conflict is reported there.

Posting as COMMENT — per the team's customer-partner-PR discipline, stamp eligibility routes through James. Code-level: the lint additions are good and the body claims I checked verify against the diff. But CI is currently red (just re-pulled — 9 failures), so this isn't review-ready in its current state.
CI state (re-pulled right before posting)
| Status | Count | Names |
|---|---|---|
| SUCCESS | 16 | (passes) |
| IN_PROGRESS | 6 | (still running) |
| FAILURE | 9 | Format, Preflight (lint + format) ×4, player-perf, preview-regression, regression, Fallow audit |
| SKIPPED | 6 | — |
| NEUTRAL | 1 | — |
Three buckets to address:
Format+Preflight (lint + format)×4 — these almost certainly mean newly-introduced files don't passoxfmt. With +11,761 LoC across 146 files (many new motion-primitive HTML files), runningbun run formatlocally before the next push should clear all four. Common across copy-pasted boilerplate HTML.player-perf+preview-regression+regression— these are perf / visual-parity gates. New motion primitives can drift the perf baseline (added work in the render loop) or new sub-composition shapes can shift visual output. Worth a per-job look at the failure log; if the drift is intentional (new content baseline), the regression fixtures need abun run regression:updaterebuild.Fallow audit— body explicitly mentions this is pre-existing complexity inlintProject.ts. Confirm with the team whether that's an accepted bypass or whether the cyclomatic-complexity refactor needs to land in this PR.
Re-running after a format/lint pass and a regression baseline update should clear most of these.
Code-level (positive)
Both lint-rule additions are well-targeted:
subcomposition_root_styled_by_class(composition.ts:606+) catches a real silent-fail: lint / validate / inspect / Studio iframe preview all pass, but MP4 render emerges unstyled because the runtime's scope-by-data-composition-idprefix turns the root's own class selector into a non-matching descendant. Guard readsrootClassesfrom the root tag, filters byextractCssSelectors → leftmostCompoundClasses, skips registry source files, requiresoptions.isSubComposition. fixHint correctly points to#root(which the scoper special-cases). ✓gsap.tstransform-conflict expansion:targetedSelectorTokensextracts simple tokens from the rightmost compound of each comma-group, so scoped/grouped GSAP selectors ("#root .label, #root .sub") now match CSS rules keyed by.label. The prior exact-string match silently let every scoped/grouped selector slip past. ✓extractStandaloneGsapTransformCallscatches top-levelgsap.set/to/from/fromTo("selector", {...})calls that the acorn timeline parser missed (it only walkstl.to-rooted nodes). Common pattern for seating base transforms before a timeline runs. ✓scaleX/scaleYadded toCONFLICTING_SCALE_PROPS(was justscale). ✓
One small caveat on the standalone-call regex: \{([^{}]*)\} won't match nested object literals — e.g. gsap.set("x", { transformOrigin: { x: "50%" } }) slips past. Acceptable for an additive lint enhancement (no false positives, just incomplete coverage); worth a follow-up if nested-object usage is common enough to care about.
Body claims verified against the diff
- "feat(lint) catches CSS↔GSAP transform conflicts plus a new
subcomposition_root_styled_by_classrule" — verified, both rules inpackages/core/src/lint/rules/{composition,gsap}.ts. - "

Genuinely useful UX addition. ✓ - "6-step pipeline, two user-gates (Step 3 plan, Step 6 render)" — verified in the SKILL.md head.
Scope-down disclosure
Per REVIEW_DISCIPLINE rule #4 (146 files / +11,761 LoC is past one-pass review), I audited:
- ✓ Both new lint rules in full (
composition.ts,gsap.tsdiff) - ✓
skills/music-to-video/SKILL.md(orchestration + step structure) - ✓
skills/hyperframes/SKILL.mdrouter-entry diff - ≈ One motion primitive (
braam-punch/index.html) — sampled; assuming the other 30+ follow the same shape. - ✗ The other motion primitives + script files (
analyze-beatgrid.py,assemble-index.mjs,stage-assets.mjs,validate-plan.mjs,frame-worker.md, the 5 references) — not read in full.
If sweep-correctness across all motion primitives matters (i.e., one is malformed and a workflow-PR fails downstream), a focused second-reviewer pass on the primitive set would close that gap.
Stamp posture
Per team discipline on customer-partner PRs, stamp eligibility routes through <@U08E7PV788Z>. Even without that policy, the current CI red state alone would block stamp under REVIEW_DISCIPLINE rule #1. From my read on code quality: the lint additions are solid; format / perf / regression failures need to clear before this is merge-ready.

Review — feat(skills): add music-to-video, a beat-synced music-driven video workflow
146 files, +11,761/−22 — Big one! Two logical halves: (1) new /music-to-video skill workflow + reference materials, and (2) lint rule enhancements the skill depends on.
Lint rule changes (the code half)
CSS-GSAP transform conflict detection (gsap.ts) — Now handles scoped/grouped/descendant selectors (e.g. #root .label) and standalone gsap.set()/gsap.to() calls that were invisible to the acorn-based parser. Also expands scale conflict detection to scaleX/scaleY. Well-motivated — this catches a real class of silent render failure (looks fine in preview, breaks in composited render). Tests are solid: 3 new cases covering scoped descendant conflicts, standalone gsap.set with grouped selectors, and a false-positive guard.
New subcomposition_root_styled_by_class rule (composition.ts) — Catches sub-compositions where the root element is styled by CSS class (breaks under runtime CSS scoping). The error message and fix hint are excellent — they explain the exact mechanism and the fix pattern.
Recursive linting (lintProject.ts) — Now recurses into subdirectories of compositions/ (previously only read top-level files, missing compositions/frames/*.html). Clean fix with a test.
Skill content
The /music-to-video skill is well-structured: clear 6-step gated pipeline, good separation of concerns (orchestrator vs. frame-worker sub-agents), deterministic analysis (audiomap.json written once, never re-measured), comprehensive reference materials (35+ motion primitives, 8 templates). The Python beat analysis script uses librosa's beat tracker with careful band-split heuristics.
Minor observations (none blocking)
-
Bare selector fallback removed in
gsap.ts: The old code prepended#to selectors without a#or.prefix. The newtargetedSelectorTokens()regex only matches tokens starting with#or.. In practice, the acorn parser always returns CSS-prefixed selectors, so no practical impact — but worth knowing if bare selectors ever appear from a different code path. -
extractStandaloneGsapTransformCallsregex limitation:\{([^{}]*)\}will fail on nested braces (e.g.,gsap.set("#el", { onComplete: function() { doStuff() } })). Acceptable for simple transform-setting calls, and the acorn parser handles complex cases. Comment documents the heuristic nature. -
6 copies of
gsap.min.jsbundled (~350KB+ total). Follows the "skills ship standalone" pattern established by other skills, so it's consistent. A symlink or shared asset directory could reduce this in a follow-up. -
analyze-beatgrid.pyprerequisites: Requireslibrosa,numpy,soundfile, andffmpeg/ffprobe. Documented in the script's docstring but not in SKILL.md Step 1 where the command is invoked. Users hitting this for the first time may need guidance. -
Vendored storyboard parser drift risk:
scripts/lib/storyboard.mjsis a manual JS port ofpackages/core/src/storyboard/parseStoryboard.ts. The file documents "keep this in lockstep" but there's no CI check ensuring sync. Worth a follow-up.
Verdict
The lint rule additions are valuable improvements on their own — they catch real classes of silent render failures. The skill content follows established patterns, the motion primitives are deterministic (paused GSAP timelines, no Math.random/Date.now), and the documentation updates are thorough. LGTM.

Round-2 — verified the CI fixes against the new commits. All 9 failures cleared.
CI now at 49 SUCCESS / 0 FAILURE / 1 SKIPPED. Verified the fixes are substantive, not suppressions:

This is the right shape — refactor the rule, don't just suppress the gate. ✓5d1bff51b5— general unblock commit.44b04324b1+7a4646894f— additional docs (router registration + music-source brief on Step 0) per the body's planned commit list.
Code-level review from round-1 still stands (lint additions are good; one nit on extractStandaloneGsapTransformCalls regex not handling nested object literals — non-blocking follow-up).
Stamp posture
Per team discipline on customer-partner PRs, stamp eligibility still routes through <@U08E7PV788Z>. CI is green, body claims verified, the lint additions are well-targeted. From my read: ready to stamp on the merit + CI gate.

Re-review (R2) — music-to-video skill + lint enhancements
Six new commits since my first review. All improvements, no new issues.
What changed
-
GSAP deduplication — 6 per-template copies of
gsap.min.jsconsolidated to 1 shared copy atmotion-primitives/assets/gsap.min.js. Also converted 3 templates (held-message-living-field,roll-flipbook-word-cycle,typewriter-phrase-keyword-shuffle) from CDN references to the local vendored copy — a deterministic-rendering improvement. -
warm-grain example fixes — The new lint rule eating its own dogfood.
graphics.htmlreplaces CSStransform: translate(-50%, -50%)centering with offset-calculated positions (math checks out for the 500px circles).intro.htmlmoves CSStransform: translateX(-100%)into GSAPxPercent: -120. Real bugs caught by the new rule in shipping examples. -
Python prerequisites documented —
pip install librosa numpy soundfilenow in SKILL.md Step 1. Addresses my previous note. -
composition.tsrefactor —rootClassStyledSelectorsextracted into a named helper. Clean, behavior-preserving. -
Formatting + fallow audit + regression baseline — CI all green (47 checks pass).
-
Catalog refinements — "Best span" column added to motion-primitive and template catalogs, duration discipline guidance. More actionable for agents.
Previous feedback status
| Finding | Status |
|---|---|
| 6x gsap.min.js copies | ✅ Consolidated to 1 shared copy |
| Python prereqs not in SKILL.md | ✅ Documented |
| CI failures (jrusso1020's review) | ✅ All 47 checks green |
| Bare selector fallback (non-blocking) | Accepted as-is |
| Vendored storyboard parser drift (non-blocking) | Accepted as-is |
No new issues introduced. LGTM — ship it.

Re-review at a23ca3487f712d9df9ed72e1d6b16683dfc4bd2f.
Audited: packages/core/src/lint/rules/composition.ts, packages/core/src/lint/rules/gsap.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/lintProject.ts, the nested-frame lint test, the warm-grain example fixes, .fallowrc.jsonc, skills/music-to-video/SKILL.md, the GSAP reference-template dedup, and the R2 CI-fix commits.
Trusting: the full motion-primitive/template corpus and large media assets beyond spot checks, based on Rames/Miga R2 coverage and green regression/perf/windows checks.
The prior no-stamp blockers are cleared: required checks are green; format/preflight/regression/player-perf/CLI smoke/fallow are all green in the current check rollup. The warm-grain starter no longer trips the new transform-conflict lint, nested compositions/frames are linted recursively, and the fallow fix refactors the rule helper rather than suppressing the complexity issue wholesale. Existing assemble-index skills already use the same CDN GSAP pattern for the generated root timeline, so the remaining CDN reference there is not a new blocker. Rames/Miga’s remaining notes (extractStandaloneGsapTransformCalls nested object literal heuristic, storyboard parser drift/bare selector fallback) are non-blocking follow-ups.
Verdict: APPROVE
Reasoning: CI is green at the current head, the previous failures were fixed substantively, and the sampled lint-rule and skill-router changes match the intended contracts.

What
Adds
/music-to-video— a new HyperFrames workflow that turns a music trackinto a beat-synced video (lyric video, slideshow, kinetic promo), and registers it in
the
/hyperframesentry router. There is no narration and no website capture: the musicis the spine, typography and templates are the floor (a complete video needs zero assets),
and any images/videos the user supplies are cut onto the same beat grid.
The branch also lands a lint enhancement it depends on: CSS↔GSAP transform-conflict
detection plus a new
subcomposition_root_styled_by_classrule, with the matchingauthoring guidance added to
pr-to-video's frame-worker.feat(skills)add music-to-video skilldocs(skills)beat-synced montage authoring recipe (@e-jung)fix(lint)catch CSS↔GSAP transform conflictssubcomposition_root_styled_by_classfeat(skills)unify bgm-to-video flows into music-to-videodocs(skills)register music-to-video in the hyperframes routerdocs(skills)add music-source brief to Step 0Why
We had three overlapping music-driven drafts (
bgm-to-video,bgm-to-video-new,bgm-to-video-refactor) plus a standalone montage recipe. This collapses them into oneworkflow with a single source of truth: one deterministic audio analysis
(
audiomap.json) the whole video is built on, never re-measured. The genre falls out ofper-frame choices, so the pipeline never branches on track type.
How
The workflow is a 6-step pipeline the orchestrator runs in order, gating each step:
generate one via
/hyperframes-media(mood chosen from the brief). Tuned for fast,high-energy BGM.
analyze-beatgrid.pywrites oneaudiomap.json(energy, onsets,rolls, silences, phrases, tempo) — the single canonical timing source.
frame's pacing (
beat_cutvsphrase_flow), mood, and feel.frame with a template / motion-primitive / asset treatment + copy;
validate-plan.mjsmust exit 0; user approves.
composition; the worker writes to a contract and never runs the CLI.
assemble-index.mjswires frames + BGM intoindex.html.lint/validate/inspecton theassembled project, then render on approval.
The lint rule catches a class of silent render failures: a transform animated by GSAP that
collides with a CSS transform (incl. scoped selectors and sub-composition roots styled by
class), which looks correct in Studio preview but renders unstyled.
Test plan
Skill content is
.md/.html/.mjs/.py; the lint change ships with unit tests.bun test— lint-rule tests (gsap.test.ts+71,lintProject.test.ts+41) pass.index.html→ MP4, verifyinglint/validate/inspectpass on the assembled project.bgm-to-video/refactorresidue inskills/music-to-video/.Notes
fix(lint)(9ccae863) is logically separable from the skill;it's included because the skill's frame-workers rely on it. Happy to split it into its
own PR if preferred.
