Design reusable 2D character pose libraries, action cycles, and expression states for data-driven animation.

What it does

Pose Library Design is an agent skill from calesthio/OpenMontage. Design reusable 2D character pose libraries, action cycles, and expression states for data-driven animation.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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 Media & Creative, covering Video production. 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 MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

  • “/pose-library-design”

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 json).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • remotion.dev
    • gsap.com

    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

Pose Library Design loads about 364 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~364

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.

Pose Library Design

Use this skill when producing pose_library artifacts.

Pose Categories

  • Neutral: idle, breathe, listening.
  • Attention: look_up, look_down, look_left, look_right.
  • Emotion: happy, sad, surprised, worried, determined.
  • Action: reach, point, hold, jump, flap, walk_contact, walk_passing.
  • Mouth: closed, small_o, wide_open, smile, frown, phoneme-ish shapes.

Acting Pattern

Use timed pose sequences:

text
anticipation -> action -> hold -> settle

Do not continuously animate every part. Holds make the acting readable.

Pose Data Pattern

json
{
  "pose": "surprised",
  "parts": {
    "head": { "rotation": -6, "y": -4 },
    "pupil_left": { "x": 4, "y": -6 },
    "mouth": "small_o"
  },
  "hold_frames": 18,
  "transition": "back.out"
}

Quality Checklist

  • Required emotions have poses.
  • Required actions have poses or cycles.
  • Reused cycles have contact and passing poses.
  • Poses name only changed parts; defaults come from the rig.
