What it does
Emilkowalski Motion is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Motion-design follow-up skill inspired by Emil Kowalski's animation guidance. Use after an interface exists to add tasteful micro-interactions, state transitions, and page motion with product-grade restraint.
Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 and Motion graphics. It works with GSAP. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web animation and motion
- Tasks that involve Motion graphics
Example prompts
- “/emilkowalski-motion”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Inspect the current HTML, component, or selected page element before adding animation.
- Pick the smallest set of motion moments that clarify state or hierarchy
- Prefer transform and opacity. Avoid animating layout properties such as top, left, width, or height.
- Use one motion language across the artifact. Do not mix unrelated easings, durations, or physics.
- Add prefers-reduced-motion fallbacks for any automatic or scroll-linked motion.
- Keep copy, data, and layout intent intact unless the user explicitly asks for a redesign.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 17e2559. 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
Emilkowalski Motion loads about 644 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 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.

Emil Kowalski Motion Follow-Up
Use this skill after a design artifact already exists. The goal is to make the interface feel alive without turning it into a motion demo.
Workflow
- Inspect the current HTML, component, or selected page element before adding animation.
- Pick the smallest set of motion moments that clarify state or hierarchy:
- entry reveal for the primary content
- hover / active feedback for important controls
- transition between UI states
- scroll reveal only when it helps the story
- Prefer
transformandopacity. Avoid animating layout properties such astop,left,width, orheight. - Use one motion language across the artifact. Do not mix unrelated easings, durations, or physics.
- Add
prefers-reduced-motionfallbacks for any automatic or scroll-linked motion. - Keep copy, data, and layout intent intact unless the user explicitly asks for a redesign.
Motion Rules
- Default UI transitions should feel quick and useful: 140-220ms for most controls.
- Larger page reveals can be slower, but must not block reading.
- Avoid endless decorative loops unless they communicate status or progress.
- Do not add custom cursors, noisy particle effects, or motion that competes with content.
- Stagger only small groups. Long staggered lists make interfaces feel slow.
Implementation Notes
- For plain HTML, CSS keyframes and small JavaScript observers are enough.
- For React or framework code, use the local stack already present in the repo.
- If GSAP is available and the motion needs sequencing, pair this with
gsap-core,gsap-timeline, orgsap-scrolltrigger. - Always clean up observers, timers, and animation instances.
