What it does
Motion Choreography Patterns is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Use when orchestrating multi-element UI motion, stagger systems, list reorder/insert/remove flows, modal and overlay stacks, gesture-driven transitions, and route-level choreography that preserves hierarchy and attention.
Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/CHOREOGRAPHY_PATTERNS.md`, `references/INTERACTION_SCENARIOS.md` and `references/QA_STORYBOARD_CHECKLIST.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A harness for the anxious digital mind. A safe place for creatives to keep their creative soul while exploring digital skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Orchestrating multi-element UI motion
- Stagger systems
- List reorder/insert/remove flows
- Modal and overlay stacks
Example prompts
- “/motion-choreography-patterns”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Primary actor - the element representing the state change
- Supporting actors - nearby elements that reinforce context
- Environment actors - backdrop, scrim, container, page-level continuity
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f10e2. 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 Patterns loads about 889 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 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.

Motion Choreography Patterns
How multiple moving parts coordinate in time and space to communicate
interaction intent. Mechanism selection and tokens live in motion-systems;
this skill owns sequencing.
Choreography Model
Treat each sequence as three actor layers:
- Primary actor - the element representing the state change
- Supporting actors - nearby elements that reinforce context
- Environment actors - backdrop, scrim, container, page-level continuity
Animate primary first, then supporting, then environment unless the interaction model requires the reverse.
Timing Architecture
Use predictable beat structure:
- Lead beat (
0-80ms) - immediate acknowledgment - Primary beat (
120-240ms) - main state change - Follow beat (
20-60msoffset) - supporting context update - Settle beat (
80-180ms) - final stabilization
Favor asymmetry: exits slightly faster than enters.
Core Choreography Principles
- One dominant axis per beat (avoid conflicting direction signals)
- Keep simultaneous high-amplitude motions limited
- Use stagger only when it improves scan order and hierarchy
- Keep rhythm consistent across similar components
- Preserve spatial anchors during reflow/reorder transitions
Pattern Library
For concrete recipes and timelines, see:
For reusable stagger utilities, see:
Input-to-Motion Mapping
- Tap/click: immediate visual response in under
80ms - Press/hold: include press state before commitment transition
- Drag: motion follows pointer directly; settle animation occurs only on drop/commit
- Keyboard navigation: preserve focus continuity and avoid disorienting travel
Reduced Motion Choreography
When reduced motion is requested:
- Remove spatial travel when possible
- Keep sequencing logic with opacity/state changes
- Preserve hierarchy with contrast, layering, and timing rather than movement distance
- Ensure state change remains obvious and immediate
Anti-Patterns
- Cascades that delay interaction completion
- Independent components using unrelated easing and duration tokens
- Large travel distances for frequent interactions
- Simultaneous enter and exit motions that compete for focus
- Decorative infinite animations in core task surfaces
Output Contract
Use the same five-section format as motion-systems: Intent -> Motion Spec -> Implementation -> Accessibility Fallback -> QA Checklist. Replace "Intent" with "Storyboard" (who moves, in what order, and why) when orchestrating multiple elements.
