What it does

Framer Motion is an agent skill from calesthio/OpenMontage. Use when implementing Disney's 12 animation principles with Framer Motion in React applications

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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. It works with Motion and React. The repository describes itself as: World's first open-source, agentic video production system. 12 production pipelines, 100+ tools, 700+ agent skill and production-knowledge files. Turn your AI coding assistant… The licence is AGPL-3.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9327439. 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 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

Framer Motion loads about 821 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~821

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.

Framer Motion Animation Principles

Implement all 12 Disney animation principles using Framer Motion's declarative React API.

1. Squash and Stretch

jsx

<motion.div

    anticipate: { y: 10, scaleY: 0.9 },
    jump: { y: -200 }
  }}
  initial="idle"
  animate={["anticipate", "jump"]}
  transition={{ duration: 0.5, times: [0, 0.2, 1] }}

    x: [0, 100, 200, 300],
    y: [0, -50, 0, -30]
  }}
  transition={{ duration: 1, ease: "easeInOut" }}
/>

5. Follow Through and Overlapping Action

jsx

<motion.div animate={{ x: 200 }} transition={{ duration: 0.5 }}>
  <motion.span
    animate={{ x: 200 }}
    transition={{ duration: 0.5, delay: 0.05 }} // hair
  />
  <motion.span

    transition={{ duration: 0.6, delay: 0.1 }} // cape
  />
</motion.div>

6. Slow In and Slow Out

jsx

<motion.div
  animate={{ x: 300 }}
  transition={{
    duration: 0.6,
    ease: [0.42, 0, 0.58, 1] // easeInOut cubic-bezier
  }}
/>
// Or use: "easeIn", "easeOut", "easeInOut"

7. Arc

jsx

<motion.div
  animate={{
    x: [0, 100, 200],
    y: [0, -100, 0]

  transition={{ duration: 1, ease: "easeInOut" }}
/>

8. Secondary Action

jsx

<motion.button
  whileHover={{ scale: 1.05 }}
  whileTap={{ scale: 0.95 }}
>
  <motion.span
    animate={{ rotate: [0, 10, -10, 0] }}
    transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}
  >
    Icon
  </motion.span>
</motion.button>

9. Timing

jsx

const timings = {
  fast: { duration: 0.15 },
  normal: { duration: 0.3 },
  slow: { duration: 0.6 },
  spring: { type: "spring", stiffness: 300, damping: 20 }
};

10. Exaggeration

jsx

<motion.div
  animate={{ scale: 1.5, rotate: 720 }}
  transition={{
    type: "spring",
    stiffness: 200,
    damping: 10 // low damping = overshoot
  }}
/>

11. Solid Drawing

jsx

<motion.div
  style={{ perspective: 1000 }}
  animate={{ rotateX: 45, rotateY: 30 }}
  transition={{ duration: 0.5 }}
/>

12. Appeal

jsx

<motion.div
  whileHover={{
    scale: 1.02,
    boxShadow: "0 20px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.2)"
  }}
  transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}
/>

Stagger Children

jsx

const container = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0 },
  show: {
    opacity: 1,
    transition: { staggerChildren: 0.1 }
  }
};

<motion.ul variants={container} initial="hidden" animate="show">
  {items.map(item => <motion.li variants={itemVariant} />)}
</motion.ul>
