Plotbeat turns CSVs, JSON, APIs, and public data sources into editable, deterministic chart videos for HyperFrames.

Why it surfaced

This is a notably specific data-to-motion system: an open-source AI skill retrieves or maps data, chooses a visual grammar, handles pacing and validation, and produces a reusable HyperFrames project rather than an opaque export. Its eight styles—from Signal Noir to Newsroom Ink—give the technical mechanism an unusually strong editorial and visual hook.
