At a glance

Guides easing, timing and animation choices for UI motion, based on a web animation course, and reviews existing animations in a before-and-after table.

  • Works in 4 steps: Is this element entering or exiting? →… → Is an on-screen element moving? → Use… → Is this a hover/color transition? → Use… → …
  • Choosing an easing curve and duration for a UI transition
  • SKILL.md covers Initial Response, Review Format (Required), Quick Start and The Easing Blueprint, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill answers questions about easing, duration, springs, transitions, microinteractions, animation performance and reduced-motion accessibility, drawing on Emil Kowalski's Animations on the Web course. It opens with a quick decision list: elements entering or leaving use ease-out, elements already on screen that move use ease-in-out, hover and color changes use ease, and anything users will see 100 or more times a day should not be animated at all.

It supplies named cubic-bezier easing curves for ease-out and ease-in-out, sorted from weak to strong, with the reasoning behind each use. When reviewing animations, the agent must present its findings as a single markdown table with Before and After columns and one row per issue, not as a list. If the skill is invoked with no question, it replies with one short readiness line and waits. A PRACTICAL-TIPS.md file adds further advice.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing an easing curve and duration for a UI transition
  • Reviewing existing animations for timing and performance problems
  • Adding prefers-reduced-motion support to animated components
  • Animating modals, dropdowns, tooltips or drawers
  • Making a janky interaction feel smoother

Example prompts

  • “Which easing and duration should I use for a dropdown that opens on click?”
  • “Review the CSS transitions in components/Modal.css and give me a before and after table of fixes.”
  • “My button press feels janky. How should I animate it?”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Is this element entering or exiting? → Use ease-out
  2. Is an on-screen element moving? → Use ease-in-out
  3. Is this a hover/color transition? → Use ease
  4. Will users see this 100+ times daily? → Don't animate it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e77b21c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css and javascript).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Web Animation Design loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 220 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~220
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 893 words (~2,694 tokens).

“A comprehensive guide for creating animations that feel right, based on Emil Kowalski's "Animations on the Web" course.”
