Package an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video by layering timed, designed GRAPHIC OVERLAY cards onto the playing video — titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to the transcript. The source video plays in full; the agent designs and writes each card's HTML in conversation, then renders to MP4 via hyperframes. Use when the user asks for graphic overlays, on-screen graphics / lower-thirds / data callouts / kinetic titles on a video, "package / dress up my video", "add overlay cards / graphic cards", or AI-composed graphic packaging of an existing video. NOT for plain subtitles (→ embedded-captions) or building a video from scratch (→ the creation workflows); when unsure overlays-vs-captions, see /hyperframes-read-first.

From the source SKILL.md

Graphic Overlays takes a local video that plays in full and layers a sequence of timed, designed graphic cards onto it — titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to what's being said. The agent designs the cards (timing + content) and writes each card's HTML directly in the conversation, then assembles a single composition HTML and renders it to MP4 via hyperframes. There is no fixed archetype list and no prescribed card structure — the overlays emerge from what the transcript actually says.
