What it does
Motion Choreography is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designpowers. Use when designing animation sequences, page transitions, micro-interactions, loading states, or any motion that communicates meaning — ensures motion is purposeful, performant, and safe for motion-sensitive users
Its SKILL.md is about 610 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. The repository describes itself as: An agent design team you control: 10 agents that run an inclusive design process while you direct. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Designing animation sequences
- Page transitions
- Micro-interactions
- Any motion that communicates meaning — ensures motion is purposeful
Example prompts
- “/motion-choreography”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- What changed? — the animation makes it visible
- What should I look at next? — directs attention
- How are these related? — shows spatial/hierarchical relationship
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb00757. 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
Motion Choreography loads about 610 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 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.

- description
- Use when designing animation sequences, page transitions, micro-interactions, loading states, or any motion that communicates meaning — ensures motion is purposeful, performant, and safe for motion-sensitive users
Motion Choreography
Motion is communication. Every animation answers a question the user didn't know they had. If it doesn't answer one, cut it.
The Three Questions
Before adding any animation:
- What changed? — the animation makes it visible
- What should I look at next? — directs attention
- How are these related? — shows spatial/hierarchical relationship
Can't answer at least one? The animation is decoration. Cut it.
Duration Guide
| Context | Duration |
|---|---|
| Micro-interaction (button, toggle) | 100-200ms |
| State change (card expand, tab) | 200-300ms |
| Screen transition | 250-400ms |
| Complex choreography | 400-700ms total |
Nothing over 1 second unless it's a loading indicator.
Easing Reference
| Context | Easing |
|---|---|
| Entering | ease-out (decelerate) |
| Leaving | ease-in (accelerate) |
| State change | ease-in-out |
| Micro-interaction | spring (stiffness 300-500) |
Stagger Patterns
- 50-80ms delay between items
- Maximum 5 items staggered, rest appear instantly
- Follow reading order
- Reveal hierarchy — important items first
Reduced Motion
prefers-reduced-motion: reduce means reduce, not remove.
| Standard | Reduced alternative |
|---|---|
| Slide in | Fade in |
| Scale with bounce | Instant appearance |
| Parallax scroll | Static |
| Staggered reveal | Simultaneous fade |
| Continuous pulse | Static state |
Every animation must have a reduced-motion alternative. No exceptions.
What NOT to Animate
- Text colour changes (photosensitive risk)
- Layout properties in performance paths (use transform)
- Anything that delays task completion
- Decorative loops without user control
Performance
Only animate: transform, opacity, filter. These are GPU-composited.
What You Deliver
- Animation specs with durations, easings, triggers
- Reduced-motion alternatives for every animation
- Performance annotations
- Sequence diagrams for complex choreography
