How to install Hypit: prepare your agent and video project

Know which part you are setting up

The skill guides the agent; executable tools perform production work; your project holds the creative material. A successful skill installation does not establish that every service is ready. This is documentation-based guidance, not a test of your machine.

Prepare a focused project folder

Keep source material separate from outputs. Give files descriptive names and record approved product claims. Do not include credentials or unrelated private files.

my-video/
  brief.txt
  assets/
    product-front.jpg
    reference.mp4
  notes/
    approved-claims.txt

Install the skill

Use the official installer command and select the agent you actually work with. Read its prompts and retain any error message without exposing credentials.

npx skills add hypit-ai/hypit -g

Ask for an environment check

Refresh the agent session as needed and ask it to identify the existing tools and missing dependencies before making changes.

Check whether this project can use Hypit. List installed tools, missing dependencies and proposed setup steps. Do not call paid models or change other projects yet.

Check an existing installation

The current quickstart provides this version-check entry. If an older release does not support it, follow the documented legacy check instead of deleting your project.

hypit version --check

Confirm readiness

Record what actually works. Installation, generation and export are separate acceptance steps.

• The agent recognises the skill.
• Input files are readable and belong to this project.
• The intended service and account are clear.
• Missing tools and estimated costs are explained.
• After production, independently verify playback, captions and audio.
