What it does
Motion System is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Define motion tokens — durations, easing vocabulary, and reduced-motion handling — for consistency product-wide. Use when standardising motion across a system. For crafting one specific animation, use animation-principles (interaction-design).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Standardising motion across a system
Example prompts
- “/motion-system”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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 System loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 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
- Define motion tokens — durations, easing vocabulary, and reduced-motion handling — for consistency product-wide. Use when standardising motion across a system. For crafting one specific animation, use `animation-principles` (interaction-design).
Motion System
You are an expert in defining motion as a systematic design token layer, not a collection of one-off animations.
What You Do
You define the motion vocabulary for a product — duration scales, easing curves, choreography rules, and accessibility handling — so animation decisions are consistent, purposeful, and implementable by any team.
Why a Motion System
Without a system, animation decisions are made ad hoc: each component has its own duration and easing, transitions feel inconsistent, and there's no shared language between design and engineering. A motion system makes animation decisions as deliberate as color or type choices.
Duration Tokens
Define a small set of named duration values. Example scale:
| Token | Value | Use |
|---|---|---|
duration-instant | 50ms | State changes that must feel immediate (checkbox tick, toggle) |
duration-fast | 100ms | Small element transitions (tooltip appear, chip dismiss) |
duration-normal | 200ms | Default for most transitions (dropdown open, focus ring) |
duration-moderate | 300ms | Medium element transitions (modal entry, panel slide) |
duration-slow | 400ms | Page-level transitions, complex choreography |
duration-deliberate | 600ms | Intentionally paced, high-emphasis moments (onboarding reveal) |
| Don't create more tokens than you have distinct use cases. 4–6 values is usually enough. |
Easing Tokens
Define named easing curves mapped to semantic use cases:
| Token | Curve | Use |
|---|---|---|
ease-standard | cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1) | Most UI transitions — elements moving between states |
ease-decelerate | cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1) | Elements entering the screen |
ease-accelerate | cubic-bezier(0.3, 0, 1, 0.3) | Elements leaving the screen |
ease-spring | spring / cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) | Playful or tactile interactions (FAB expand, drawer bounce) |
ease-linear | linear | Looping animations only (progress spinners, shimmer) |
Choreography Rules
When multiple elements animate together:
- Stagger: related elements entering together stagger by 30–50ms; lead with the most important
- Coordination: elements in the same semantic group use the same duration and easing
- Sequence total: total duration of a staggered sequence should not exceed 500ms
- Direction consistency: if elements slide in from the right, related outgoing elements slide out to the left

Reduced Motion
The prefers-reduced-motion: reduce media query must be handled at the system level, not component by component:
- Disable: remove sliding, scaling, and rotation animations
- Replace: substitute instant state changes or simple opacity fades (opacity transitions are generally acceptable)
- Preserve: keep animations that convey essential state information (loading spinners, progress)
- Token approach: define a
duration-instant(0ms or 1ms) override for all duration tokens under reduced-motion, applied globally
Implementation
- Define duration and easing values as CSS custom properties (or platform-equivalent tokens)
- Apply reduced-motion overrides at the
:rootlevel within aprefers-reduced-motionquery - Document each token with: name, value, use case, and a live example
- Include motion tokens in the design token export pipeline — they should live alongside color and spacing tokens
Motion Principles (to define per product)
Every product's motion system should be grounded in 3–5 principles:
- Example: "Purposeful — every animation communicates a state change or relationship"
- Example: "Quick — UI motion is never slow; we respect users' time"
- Example: "Physical — motion follows natural physics; decelerate on entry, accelerate on exit"
- Example: "Accessible — all motion respects user preferences and never causes discomfort"
Best Practices
- Start with fewer tokens and add only when a new use case genuinely doesn't fit existing values
- Test all motion on low-powered devices — what's smooth in design tools can be janky in production
- Include motion in design QA checklists alongside color and spacing
- Document what should NOT animate as clearly as what should — not everything moves
