Technical content (original SKILL.md)

Original text by the author, straight from GitHub.

NYT-Style Data Chart Frame

NYT-newsroom typography, staggered reveal animation, and editorial-grade charts (line, bar, or range band).

What this template is

A HyperFrames-ready HTML + CSS + GSAP motion composition, bundled under source/. It renders deterministically to MP4 / WEBM at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, default 15s, 60fps.

Best for: Editorial data viz · Annual report · Comparison reveal

Workflow

  1. Read source/index.html to understand the named layers and the animation timeline.
  2. Replace the sample copy (headlines, figures, labels) with the user's real content; keep the motion timing and visual signature intact.
  3. Keep the composition self-contained under source/; do not introduce external network assets that would break a headless render.
  4. Render to MP4 via the html-video / HyperFrames renderer.
