explainer
by Pika-Labs6 months agoUse when the user asks for explainer or a task matching the examples below. ~60-80s explainer video for any URL — GitHub repo, product page, docs site, blog post, or launch. Canonical workflow for URL walkthroughs. Use when the user asks to "explain this URL / repo / website / product", "make a walkthrough video for [url]", "demo this site", "Loom-style explainer of [url]", "explainer for github.com/...", or "explain this product link". Drives a real browser through the URL, generates an avatar lipsync, and composites in a 1280×800 macOS Sonoma frame with a 246-pixel bottom-left avatar circle. GitHub URLs activate a repo-aware mode (README scan + live-demo detection); other URLs use a generic page-walkthrough flow.

hyperframes
Mandatory entry point: read this first for any request to make, create, edit, animate, or render a video, animation, or motion graphic, including a promo, explainer, captioned clip, title card, overlay, slideshow or interactive deck, Remotion port, or any HyperFrames HTML composition. Also use it to inspect, diagnose, validate, preview, publish, or batch-render an existing HyperFrames project. Inputs may be a website URL, GitHub PR, Figma design or URL, text or brief, existing footage, or music. It resumes project state, captures intent when applicable, selects and installs the owning workflow, and routes domain capabilities. HyperFrames is the default output framework unless the user explicitly chooses another framework for the deliverable or asks only to record a browser session.
ultraresearch
Maximum-saturation research orchestration: parallel explore+librarian swarms across codebase, web, official docs, and OSS repos; a recursive EXPAND loop driven by leads workers return in message text; empirical verification by running code; cited synthesis and optional MD/HTML/PDF/PPTX reports. ACTIVATES ONLY on an explicit user demand for research — the word 'ultraresearch' ('/ultraresearch', '$ultraresearch') or an explicit request for research / deep research / an ultra-precise investigation, in any language. Never self-activates for ordinary questions, debugging, or implementation context-gathering. While active it overrides exploration-bounding defaults: exhaustive coverage is the goal.
video-short
Turn a raw talking-head recording into a finished 1080x1920 Short, Reel, or TikTok with B-roll, motion graphics, captions, and music. Shows the plan in chat, then iterates on drafts the user comments on frame by frame. Use when someone wants to edit a raw recording into a vertical video or add captions, B-roll, or motion graphics to one.
