Generate CSS and Framer Motion animations from plain English.

What it does

Animation Gen is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Generate CSS and Framer Motion animations from plain English. Use when you need smooth animations without the math.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 and Plain language and style rules. It works with Motion and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • You need smooth animations without the math
  • Tasks that involve Web animation and motion
  • Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules

Example prompts

  • “/animation-gen”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • x.com
    • lxgicstudios.substack.com
    • lxgicstudios.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Animation Gen loads about 644 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~644

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 252 words (~644 tokens).

“Describing animations is easy. Writing the keyframes and easing functions is not. Tell this tool what you want to see and it'll give you the CSS or Framer Motion code to make it happen.”
