What it does

Animation Jank QA is an agent skill from TheGoat395/Codex-Skills. Diagnose a concrete rendered hitch or stutter.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/animation-jank-qa-guide.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile performance. The repository describes itself as: Codex-first Agent Skills library for premium frontend, website, motion, accessibility, QA, and handoff workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Mobile performance

Example prompts

  • “/animation-jank-qa”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Reproduce the exact affected route, interaction, viewport, and device class.
  2. Read Animation Jank QA Guide for relevant diagnosis and retesting steps.
  3. Run the narrowest meaningful trace or rendered check for the symptom; inspect frame timing, long tasks, forced layout, paint/compositing…
  4. Fix issues when they are in scope; otherwise record exact evidence and remaining risk.
  5. Retest the original symptom and summarize commands, URLs, traces/screenshots, changed files, and what was not tested.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feff772. 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

Animation Jank QA loads about 487 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~487
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Diagnose a concrete rendered hitch or stutter.

Animation Jank QA

Use this skill for symptom-led runtime diagnosis. Start from a reproducible jank case and determine whether it comes from main-thread work, layout/paint, asset pressure, scroll coupling, competing animation systems, or lifecycle cleanup.

Workflow

  1. Reproduce the exact affected route, interaction, viewport, and device class.
  2. Read Animation Jank QA Guide for relevant diagnosis and retesting steps.
  3. Run the narrowest meaningful trace or rendered check for the symptom; inspect frame timing, long tasks, forced layout, paint/compositing, asset decode, observers, timers, and RAF loops as applicable.
  4. Fix issues when they are in scope; otherwise record exact evidence and remaining risk.
  5. Retest the original symptom and summarize commands, URLs, traces/screenshots, changed files, and what was not tested.

Always Protect

  • Inspect the framework, motion stack, affected media, component lifecycle, and available browser/performance tooling before changing code.
  • Do not claim something was tested unless it was actually tested; report exact commands, URLs, screenshots, viewports, failures, skipped checks, and remaining risk.
  • Reproduce and retest rendered output on the affected route and supported viewport/device classes; inspect console, trace, network and layout evidence relevant to that symptom.
  • Respect accessibility, performance, reduced-motion, and no-JavaScript/no-WebGL/no-autoplay fallbacks where relevant.
  • Keep secrets out of code, logs, screenshots, summaries, widgets, and committed files.
  • Prefer project-local tooling and existing scripts before adding dependencies. Explain any new dependency before installing it.
  • End with a concise handoff: changed files, commands run, checks passed, checks not run, deployment URL if any, and next risks.
