What it does

Review Animations is an agent skill from flornkm/personal-site. Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. Default to flagging; approval is earned.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `STANDARDS.md`).

Example prompts

  • “Use the review-animations skill to review animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering…”
  • “/review-animations”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Justified motion. Every animation must answer "why does this animate?" — spatial consistency, state indication, feedback, explanation, or…
  2. Frequency-appropriate. Match motion to how often it's seen. Keyboard-initiated and 100+/day actions get no animation. Tens/day gets…
  3. Responsive easing. Entering/exiting elements use ease-out or a strong custom curve. ease-in on UI is a block — it delays the moment the…
  4. Sub-300ms UI. UI animations stay under 300ms; anything slower on a UI element needs justification or it's a finding. Per-element budgets…
  5. Origin & physical correctness. Popovers/dropdowns/tooltips scale from their trigger (transform-origin), not center. Never animate from…
  6. Interruptibility. Rapidly-triggered or gesture-driven motion (toasts, toggles, drags) must be interruptible — CSS transitions or springs…
  7. GPU-only properties. Animate transform and opacity only. Animating width/height/margin/padding/top/left (or Framer Motion x/y/scale…
  8. Accessibility. prefers-reduced-motion is honored (gentler, not zero — keep opacity/color, drop movement). Hover animations are gated…
  9. Asymmetric enter/exit. Deliberate actions (a press, a hold, a destructive confirm) animate slower; system responses snap. Symmetric timing…
  10. Cohesion. Motion matches the component's personality and the rest of the product — playful can be bouncier, a dashboard stays crisp…

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

Review Animations loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 992 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 992 words (~2,013 tokens).

“A specialized review skill. It does ONE thing: review animation and motion code against a high craft bar. It does not write features, fix unrelated bugs, or review non-motion code. If asked to review general code, decline and point to…”
