What it does
Swiftui Animation Match is an agent skill from RayFernando1337/rayfernando-skills. Match UI/UX interaction needs to proven SwiftUI animation patterns from curated open-source catalogs. Use when planning or building iOS/macOS screens where an interaction should feel alive - loaders, likes, toggles, card decks, reveals, shaders - or when asked which animation fits a moment. Recommends system-first restraint before custom motion.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adding-a-source.md`, `references/catalog-shubham0812-swiftui-animations.md` and `references/matching-playbook.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development, Shaders and UI design. It works with SwiftUI, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Ray Fernando's collection of Skill files for AI coding agents. First up: running-bug-review-board, a real-user QA workflow with a Bug Review Board (BRB) feedback loop. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Building iOS/macOS screens where an interaction should feel alive - loaders
- Asked which animation fits a moment
Example prompts
- “/swiftui-animation-match”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Name the moment. Translate the request into: what is the user doing,
- Decide system vs custom. If a system affordance covers the moment
- If custom motion earns its place, search the catalogs (below) by
- Adapt, never paste. Every catalog entry has lift notes and each catalog
- Verify in motion. Build and watch it in Previews or Simulator; motion
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 952eaaa. 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
Swiftui Animation Match loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 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
- Match UI/UX interaction needs to proven SwiftUI animation patterns from curated open-source catalogs. Use when planning or building iOS/macOS screens where an interaction should feel alive - loaders, likes, toggles, card decks, reveals, shaders - or when asked which animation fits a moment. Recommends system-first restraint before custom motion.
SwiftUI Animation Match
Use this skill to turn a vaguely felt interaction wish ("saving should feel more satisfying", "this list is boring while it loads") into a concrete, proven SwiftUI animation pattern — or into the deliberate decision to use what the system already provides.
The skill is a matcher, not a snippet dump. Its value is the judgment step: name the interaction moment first, check what the OS gives you for free, and only then reach into the cataloged sources for custom motion that earns its place. Animations add juice that makes a product feel human; forcing one where the platform already shines makes it feel worse.
First move
- Name the moment. Translate the request into: what is the user doing, what should they feel, and how often does this happen? Read references/matching-playbook.md — it has the moment taxonomy and the system-first checklist.
- Decide system vs custom. If a system affordance covers the moment
(Liquid Glass chrome,
.symbolEffect, springs,.contentTransition, zoom navigation transitions,.sensoryFeedback), prefer it and stop. - If custom motion earns its place, search the catalogs (below) by interaction pattern and keywords, not by animation name.
- Adapt, never paste. Every catalog entry has lift notes and each catalog ends with a lift checklist (dependencies to replace, old patterns to modernize, Reduce Motion).
- Verify in motion. Build and watch it in Previews or Simulator; motion
cannot be judged from code. If the app repo has build/test skills
(for example
bootstrap-ios), use them.
Catalogs
Load only the catalog you need; entries are grouped by interaction moment and carry keywords, exact source paths, technique summaries, and lift notes.
| Catalog | Contents |
|---|---|
| catalog-shubham0812-swiftui-animations.md | 30 SwiftUI animations + 7 Metal shaders: loaders, progress, action feedback, toggles, card decks, text heroes, input chrome, reveals, shader effects |
The source index with pinned commits and licenses is in references/sources.md.
Mode picker
| The product needs... | Look at |
|---|---|
| An indeterminate wait that feels crafted | Catalog: Wait states |
| Progress with a real percentage | Catalog: Progress with a real percentage |
| A tap that confirms, celebrates, or completes async work | Catalog: Action feedback and confirmation |
| A switch or mode change with personality | Catalog: Toggles and switches with identity |
| Browsing cards, decks, or carousels by gesture | Catalog: Cards and gesture-driven browsing |
| A hero headline or onboarding moment | Catalog: Text and hero moments |
| Composer / input chrome with delight | Catalog: Input chrome |
| An unlock, reveal, or brand easter egg | Catalog: Reveals and brand delight |
| Destroy, error, or premium image treatment | Catalog: Metal shader effects |
| "Which animation fits X?" during planning | matching-playbook.md first, then the catalog |
| Add a new animation repo to this skill | adding-a-source.md |

Restraint rules
- One signature motion moment per screen. Everything else stays quiet.
- Frequency caps intensity: high-frequency interactions get subtle, short motion (or system defaults); rare moments may be theatrical.
- Do not re-skin system chrome that already animates well (tab bars, toolbars, sheets, Liquid Glass surfaces). Custom motion belongs in content, not in the platform's chrome.
- Honor Reduce Motion with a crossfade or reduced variant.
- Keep one motion vocabulary per app: consistent spring feel, consistent duration scale. A catalog entry adopted verbatim into a calm app will feel foreign until its curves are tuned to match.
Adaptation posture
The catalogs describe working code from real repos, including its age. Keep the load-bearing geometry (shapes, trim windows, offset math, shader kernels) and modernize the plumbing:
- Timer state machines ->
.phaseAnimator,.keyframeAnimator,withAnimationcompletion handlers, orTask.sleep. - UIKit haptic wrappers ->
.sensoryFeedback. - Hardcoded screen bounds ->
GeometryReader/ container sizing. - Demo colors, fonts, and assets -> the app's design tokens.
- Fake timer-driven progress -> real async work.
Extending the skill
This skill is built to grow: each new animation repo becomes one catalog
reference file following the same entry format, registered in
sources.md and the catalog table above. The repeatable recipe — including
how to fan out parallel readers over a big repo and the exact entry
template — is in references/adding-a-source.md.
