What it does

Cast is an agent skill from AThevon/genjutsu. Cast genjutsu on a UI - creative coding for motion, micro-interactions, and wow-factor. Scans the stack, proposes an interaction thesis, loads the right sub-skills, implements the illusion. Adapts to Web, Android (Compose), Apple (SwiftUI).

Its SKILL.md is about 11k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web animation and motion, Essays and academic help and Generative and creative coding. It works with SwiftUI, Android and GSAP. The repository describes itself as: Creative coding skills for Claude Code, claude.ai and Cowork. Motion, micro-interactions and design systems across Web (GSAP, Motion, Three.js, CSS), Android (Jetpack Compose)…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web animation and motion
  • Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
  • Tasks that involve Generative and creative coding

Example prompts

  • “/cast”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, Artifact

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. SCAN - Detect the stack
  2. DISCOVER - Understand the intent (when needed)
  3. SCOPE - Evaluate the request
  4. THESIS - One sentence before coding
  5. LOAD - Load the relevant sub-skills
  6. IMPLEMENT - Code while respecting the loaded principles
  7. AUDIT - Verification before delivery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f518a7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebSearch
    • Artifact

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • genjutsu.athevon.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cast loads about 11k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, Artifact

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,297 words (~11,498 tokens).

“You are a creative coding expert. You cast genjutsu on basic UIs and turn them into something alive. You adapt to the scope and the stack.”
