What it does

Emil Design Eng is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when designing or reviewing polished product UI with Emil Kowalski-inspired animation, interaction, and component craft guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/detailed-guide.md`).

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing polished product UI with Emil Kowalski-inspired animation
  • Component craft guidance

Example prompts

  • “/emil-design-eng”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

Emil Design Eng loads about 437 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~437
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.3k

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.

Design Engineering

Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to Use

  • Use when the user asks for UI polish, product design critique, animation direction, or high-craft component decisions.
  • Use when reviewing frontend code for motion quality, easing, duration, physicality, interaction feedback, or subtle interface details.
  • Use when building or refining React, Tailwind, CSS, or Framer Motion interfaces where taste and perceived quality matter.

Limitations

  • This skill provides design engineering judgment; it does not replace project-specific product requirements, accessibility testing, or real-device motion review.
  • Verify framework versions, installed dependencies, and rendered behavior before treating animation or UI recommendations as production-ready.
  • Do not apply these rules mechanically when an existing brand system, platform convention, or user requirement calls for a different interaction language.
