- Time to read a skill's SKILL.md, scripts, and dependencies before running it

- Install the skill with
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes-community-skills --skill p5-paint-animation. (inferred, check the README) - Read its SKILL.md to confirm which inputs it accepts, such as text, photos, or short clips.

Prompt for your agent
Using the p5-paint-animation skill in heygen-com/hyperframes-community-skills, create a deterministic handwriting animation for the text <text-to-animate>. Output the animation files and confirm the same input produces the same result on a second run.
Caveat. The README says skills are community-maintained and not curated, so verify the output quality for your own project.
