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.\n\n**HyperFrames.** Local CLI with editable HTML project files. Hosted MCP remains beta.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### framefields\n\n1. Add the plugin with `/plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields` first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.\n2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing `skia.node`.\n3. Check with `comp.lint()` and `renderFrameGrid` before a full `renderVideo` encode.\n4. Call `process.exit()` after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.\n5. Preload vision models into `FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR` for offline or CI renders.\n\n### HyperFrames\n\n1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.\n2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.\n3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, framefields or HyperFrames?\n\nframefields scores 61.3 (C) on agent readiness against HyperFrames's 39.1 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are framefields and HyperFrames open source?\n\nframefields is open source (Apache-2.0).
