What it does

Your agent asks an image model for nine photos of the same sheet of paper, from a tight ball to a flat torn note. It cuts them out and plays them back like stop-motion.

• Looks like real paper, not 3D graphics.
• Your sketch or handwriting can already be on the paper and appears as it opens.
• Works in any video made from code: HyperFrames, Remotion or a web page.

Get started

1. Download paper-unfold-frames.zip and unzip it into your agent's skills folder (for Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/).

2. Ask your agent for it in plain words, for example:

   Open the video with a crumpled note that unfolds to show our tagline.

Or install with git:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OpenRootdev/paper-unfold-frames ~/.claude/skills/paper-unfold-frames

What you need

• Access to a GPT image model (for example through the Figma MCP or the OpenAI API).
• Python 3 with Pillow, numpy and scipy, to cut out the frames.
• A video made from code that draws on a canvas.

What's inside

• SKILL.md · The instructions your agent follows.
• scripts/key_frames.py · Cuts the 3×3 image into nine clean frames.
• examples/ · The prompts that worked and a playback snippet.

Paper Unfold Mesh
The same idea built from code instead of photos: endless variations (balls, accordions, scrolls), and the writing bends with the paper.
