Verdicts

framefields

A free Apache-2.0 library that renders video from TypeScript on the GPU, with lint and QA codes an agent can act on. It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.

HyperFrames

Local CLI with editable HTML project files. Hosted MCP remains beta.

Before you call either

framefields

  1. Add the plugin with /plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.
  2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing skia.node.
  3. Check with comp.lint() and renderFrameGrid before a full renderVideo encode.
  4. Call process.exit() after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.
  5. Preload vision models into FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR for offline or CI renders.

HyperFrames

  1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.
  2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.
  3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
