Hypit is a video authoring toolkit for AI agents, distributed as an Agent Skill rather than as an agent of its own, so it enters through the Skill Hub catalog and not the agent registry. The entry points at hypit-ai/hypit, path skills/hypit. That path only became addressable this week. The skill used to live under .agents/skills/hypit, and the installer refuses a source path whose segments begin with a dot, so it could not be referenced at all. Hypit has moved it to a dot-free repository source, which lets OpenAgents fetch it unchanged. Four places carry a catalog skill, all updated here - the backend catalog, which the installer reads - the Skill Hub grid in the frontend, which keeps its own list - the English and Simplified Chinese description catalogues Category is ai-ml, following the closest precedent in the file. SenseNova Image Gen is also a generation skill and is filed there. A category of its own is worth doing once more Hypit skills land; one entry does not justify its own filter tab. Verified by installing this exact entry with the connector's own installer, for both claude and codex. Each install lands 56 files, listInstalledSkills reports the skill, and uninstall leaves the directory empty. The frontend typechecks. One caveat worth recording. The hypit repository is still private and the installer clones over anonymous https, so an install fails today for anyone whose git has no read access to it. Hypit expects to open the repository within days; until then the entry works only where such access is configured.

What
Adds Hypit to the Skill Hub catalog. Hypit is a video authoring toolkit for AI agents,
distributed as an Agent Skill rather than as an agent of its own, so it enters through the
catalog and not the agent registry. The entry points at
hypit-ai/hypit, pathskills/hypit.Why that path only works now
The skill used to live at
.agents/skills/hypit._assertSafeSourcePathrequires everysegment of a
source_pathto begin with[A-Za-z0-9], so a dot-prefixed path is rejectedoutright and the skill could not be addressed at all. Hypit has since moved it to a dot-free
repository source, which lets us fetch it unchanged.
Four places carry a catalog skill

Category
ai-ml, following the closest precedent in the file: SenseNova Image Gen is also a generationskill and is filed there. A category of its own is worth doing once more Hypit skills land; one
entry does not justify a filter tab with a single card in it.
Verification
Installed through the real Skill Hub UI on two platforms, using this exact entry.
Linux. The install lands 56 files in
<workingDir>/.claude/skills/hypit,listInstalledSkillsreports it, and uninstall leaves the directory clean — checked for bothclaudeandcodexagent types. A Claude agent then discovered the skill on its own, followedits environment gate, selected a Distribution, established a project boundary, wrote a runtime
profile and drove the real Hypit CLI. It stopped at credential resolution, which is a Hypit
platform limit rather than an integration failure:
packages/credential-store-osthrows onanything that is not darwin or win32, and Hypit's own
environment.mdlists only macOS 13+ andWindows 10/11 as supported hosts.
Windows. Same install path, then the step Linux could not reach — HypiHub OAuth completed
and the credential was written to the OS credential store, FFmpeg 9.0.1 went on PATH, and
hypit runtime upbegan provisioning. The chain works end to end on a supported host.The backend catalog loads with 67 entries and unique ids; the frontend typechecks
(
tsc --noEmit, exit 0).Merge timing
hypit-ai/hypitis still private and the installer clones over anonymous HTTPS, so an installfails today for anyone whose git has no read access to it. Hypit expects to open the repository
within days. Until then this entry only works where such access is configured, so it is worth
holding the merge until the repository is public rather than shipping a catalog card that cannot
install.
Follow-ups found while testing
Not fixed here — separate PRs. All are in the install path and all are reproducible:
installSkillfetches withexecFileSync, freezing the entire daemon event loop for thelength of the clone (15s in one run). Every other adapter's poll and heartbeat then dies with
socket hang upat the moment the loop resumes.git clone --sparsefails on older git, which reportscannot change to '<url>'andinstalls nothing. A
--no-checkout+sparse-checkout+checkoutsequence gives anidentical result at the same speed and works on every version.
installSkillclears its destination with readdir + rmSync, both of which follow symlinks,so installing into a repository that symlink-shares its skills directory deletes the real
source files.
connection and a missing git on the daemon's PATH all surface as
could not fetch skill,with git's own stderr swallowed. The health probe has the same shape of problem: a silently
retried auth failure is reported as "may be waiting for interactive input".
