What it does
Animate is an agent skill from delphi-ai/animate-skill. Animation patterns and best practices for Next.js/React applications. Use this skill when implementing animations, transitions, hover effects, page transitions, modals, or any motion in React components. Based on Emil Kowalski's "Animations on the Web" course.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/css-animations.md` and `references/easing-and-timing.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering React components and Web animation and motion. It works with Next.js, React and Motion. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill for Next.js/React animations based on Emil Kowalski's course.
When your agent uses it
- Implementing animations
- Page transitions
- Any motion in React components
Example prompts
- “Animations on the Web”
- “/animate”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Hover Lift Effect
- Button Press
- Fade In on Mount (Framer Motion)
- Modal with Exit Animation
- Tab Indicator (Shared Layout)
- Staggered List Animation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71bc617. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Animate loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 328 words (~1,335 tokens).
“This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing smooth, performant, and accessible animations in Next.js and React applications. It covers CSS animations, Framer Motion, easing principles, and accessibility considerations.”
