What it does

Ripple Press is an agent skill from nexu-io/motion-anything. Acknowledge a tap/click with a ripple that blooms from the exact press point. Fast and low-opacity so it reads as feedback, not decoration. No ripple under prefers-reduced-motion (native :active covers it). Avoid on destructive actions and text links.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `recipe.motion.yaml` and `ripple.js`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: ✨ The agentic motion layer — an open-source, chat-native motion engine. Describe the feeling; your AI ships the animation. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/ripple-press”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Copy ripple.css and ripple.js into the project, and link them.
  2. Mark the button (it should be position:relative; overflow:hidden — the CSS sets this)
  3. Auto-attaches to .ripple; a wave spawns at the pointer point and cleans itself up.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b016900. 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

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    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

Ripple Press loads about 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~500

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.

Use ripple on the primary buttons: a fast, low-opacity ripple from the press point. Skip it on destructive actions; none under reduced-motion.

ripple-press

A ripple that blooms from the press point. Part of motion-anything; obeys MOTION-SPEC.md. Based on the Material state-layer interaction, reimplemented dependency-free.

When to use it

  • Buttons / clickable tiles where a tap should feel acknowledged; touch-first, app-like UIs.

When NOT to use it (restraint)

  • Destructive actions (don't encourage repeat taps) and text links (feels heavy).
  • Elements that already have a strong press state.

How to apply

  1. Copy ripple.css and ripple.js into the project, and link them.
  2. Mark the button (it should be position:relative; overflow:hidden — the CSS sets this):
    html
    <button class="ripple">Save</button>
  3. Auto-attaches to .ripple; a wave spawns at the pointer point and cleans itself up.

Accessibility & performance

  • No ripple under prefers-reduced-motion; the native :active state provides feedback.
  • Transform/opacity only; each wave removes itself on animationend.

Framework notes

  • React: call attachRipple(ref.current) in useEffect. The tint comes from the element's currentColor — set text color to control it.
