What it does

Animation Vocabulary is an agent skill from flornkm/personal-site. Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI or designer with. For naming an effect, not designing or building one.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 iOS.

When your agent uses it

The user asks whats it called when…
Describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI

Example prompts

“the bouncy thing when a popover opens”
“the iOS rubber-band scroll”
“s it called when…”
“/animation-vocabulary”

Workflow steps

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

Read for intent, not keywords. Users describe what they see or feel ("springy", "slides off", "draws itself in"), not the technical name…
Quote the glossary verbatim. Its descriptions are authoritative — use them as-is, don't paraphrase.
Disambiguate close terms. When two compete (Clip-path vs Mask, Pop in vs Bounce, Shared element transition vs Layout animation), contrast…
When nothing matches exactly, name the closest term and say plainly it's an approximation, or describe the effect in the glossary's…
Stay within this glossary. If a term genuinely isn't here, say so rather than inventing one — though you may explain the concept using…
Keep it tight. A naming question wants a name, not an essay. Lead with the term; expand only if asked.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e096b60. 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.
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

Animation Vocabulary loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,727 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.2k

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 1,727 words (~3,221 tokens).

“Turn a vague description of a motion or effect into the precise term, so the user knows what to ask for.”
