$npx -y skills add calesthio/OpenMontage --skill hyperframes-mediaAudio and media assets for HyperFrames compositions, produced by one shared audio engine (scripts/audio.mjs) — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), background music + sound effects (HeyGen audio-library retrieval by default, with local Lyria / MusicGen BGM g

| 3 | Create the audio and media assets a composition needs — voiceover (TTS), background music + sound effects, transcription, captions, background removal — then consume and animate that data in HTML. For placing assets into compositions, see `hyperframes-core`. |

| 5 | ## The audio engine — one source for TTS · BGM · SFX |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Workflows do NOT hand-roll audio or vendor a copy. There is one engine — **`scripts/audio.mjs`** — that takes a neutral `audio_request.json` and writes `audio_meta.json` (plus assets under `assets/voice|bgm|sfx`): |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ```bash |
| 10 | # <MEDIA_DIR> = this skill's directory |
| 11 | node <MEDIA_DIR>/scripts/audio.mjs --request ./audio_request.json --hyperframes . --out ./audio_meta.json |
| 12 | ``` |
| 13 | |
| 14 | All three capabilities degrade on **ONE switch** — whether a HeyGen credential is present (resolved from `$HEYGEN_API_KEY` / `$HYPERFRAMES_API_KEY` / `~/.heygen`, **not** the CLI): |
| 15 | |
| 16 | | Capability | HeyGen credential present | absent | |
| 17 | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | |
| 18 | | TTS | HeyGen Starfish REST (native word timestamps) | → ElevenLabs → Kokoro (chain `transcribe` for words) | |
| 19 | | BGM | HeyGen music **retrieval** | Lyria → MusicGen local **generation** (detached) | |
| 20 | | SFX | HeyGen sound-effects **retrieval** (min_score 0.4) | bundled 21-file library (`assets/sfx/`) | |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - **Request** (`audio_request.json`): `{ provider?, lang?, speed?, lines: [{ id, text, sfx?: [names] }], bgm: { mode?, query?, prompt? } }`. `id` joins each line back to the caller's model (a frame number, a scene id, …). `bgm.mode` = `retrieve | generate | none`; omit for auto (retrieve when credentialed, else generate). An **explicit** `retrieve` is strict — it skips rather than starting a detached generate (for callers with no `wait-bgm` step). |
| 23 | - **Output** (`audio_meta.json`, id-keyed): `{ tts_provider, voice_id, bgm, bgm_pending, …, voices: [{ id, path, duration_s, words }], sfx: [{ id, name, file, source, offset_s, duration_s, volume }], total_duration_s }`. |
| 24 | - `--only tts,bgm,sfx` runs a subset and **merges** into an existing `--out` (e.g. TTS+BGM early, SFX once cues exist). |
| 25 | - BGM generate is spawned **detached** (`bgm_pending: true`) — run `scripts/wait-bgm.mjs` before assembling. |
| 26 | - `scripts/heygen-tts.mjs` is a single-shot CLI over the same code (one text → wav + words) for when you just need HeyGen TTS without a request file. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Full flag list + the `audio_meta.json` schema live in the header of `scripts/audio.mjs`. The references below cover the provider details and edge cases behind each capability. |

| 30 | ## Preflight — show sign-in status before any audio |
| 31 | |
| 32 | **Always run this before generating voice or BGM — inside a full workflow _or_ a one-off "generate me a BGM/voiceover" request.** No HeyGen credential is **not** a reason to silently fall back to local engines: first recommend signing in and let the user decide. Run the shared preflight and **relay its output verbatim** — don't improvise your own "missing key" prompt, and don't offer to write keys into a per-repo `.env`: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ```bash |
| 35 | npx hyperframes auth status |
| 36 | ``` |
| 37 | |
| 38 | - **Signed in** → it prints the account; proceed. |
| 39 | - **Not signed in** (`exit 1` is expected here — "not signed in" is a normal state, not a failure) → it prints registration-first guidance. Recommend signing in: `npx hyperframes auth login` is browser OAuth — it **signs in and creates an account** (always available through this repo's CLI). To use an existing HeyGen API key (from app.heygen.com/settings/api), run `npx hyperframes auth login --api-key` — it saves to the shared `~/.heygen` (no per-repo `.env`). The output also lists the local engines voice/BGM will fall back to and a `pip` hint when deps are missing. **Relay this output as-is — don't paraphrase it into your own wording.** Then **STOP and wait** for the user to choose — sign in, or say "go" / "local" to continue offline — **before generating anything.** This is a real decision point, not a passing note: don't fold it into another question, and don't proceed past it on your own. (Exception: in autonomous / non-interactive mode, note the status and continue offline.) |
