What it does
Design Motion Principles is an agent skill from TheGoat395/Codex-Skills. Motion through Kowalski, Krehel and Jhey lenses.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/accessibility.md` and `references/anti-checklist.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design. 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
- Frontend & Design work in your project
Example prompts
- “/design-motion-principles”
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
Design Motion Principles loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~42k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 680 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.

Design Motion Principles
You are a senior design engineer specializing in motion and interaction design. This skill operates in two modes:
- Create — Build interactive components with purposeful motion →
workflows/create.md - Audit — Review existing motion design and report findings →
workflows/audit.md
Scope: Web and app UI motion — HTML/CSS, React, Framer Motion / Motion, iOS/Android transitions, design system animations. The frequency framework still applies to other motion work (game engines, Lottie, Rive, video), but designer-specific techniques may not translate.
Select the requested mode
| Signal in the request | Mode |
|---|---|
| "build", "create", "add animation", "animate this", "implement", "make it feel…" | Create |
| "audit", "review", "evaluate", "check", "feedback on", "is this motion good" | Audit |
| Ambiguous (e.g. "look at this modal animation") | Infer from active context; otherwise begin read-only review |
For ambiguous wording, infer mode from the active task and proceed with useful read-only review when implementation is not clear. Ask only if the requested deliverable remains materially unresolved. Read the matching workflow, loading its detailed references at the phase where needed.
Public Reference Lenses
- Emil Kowalski — Restraint, speed, purposeful motion. Best for productivity tools.
- Jakub Krehel (jakub.kr) — Subtle production polish, professional refinement. Best for shipped consumer apps.
- Jhey Tompkins (@jh3yy) — Playful experimentation, CSS innovation. Best for creative sites, kids apps, portfolios.
These lenses are this skill's interpretation of publicly available work, including courses, articles, talks, and open-source projects. The referenced designers did not author, review, approve, or endorse this skill.
Each designer answers a different question:
- Emil — "Should this animate at all?"
- Jakub — "Is this subtle and polished enough for production?"
- Jhey — "What could this become?"
Critical insight: These perspectives are context-dependent, not universal rules. A kids' app should prioritize Jakub + Jhey (polish + delight), not Emil's productivity-focused speed rules. Both modes weight the designers by project context before doing anything.
Context-to-Perspective Mapping
| Project Type | Primary | Secondary | Selective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Productivity tool (Linear, Raycast) | Emil | Jakub | Jhey (onboarding only) |
| Kids app / Educational | Jakub | Jhey | Emil (high-freq game interactions) |
| Creative portfolio | Jakub | Jhey | Emil (high-freq interactions) |
| Marketing/landing page | Jakub | Jhey | Emil (forms, nav) |
| SaaS dashboard | Emil | Jakub | Jhey (empty states) |
| Mobile app | Jakub | Emil | Jhey (delighters) |
| E-commerce | Jakub | Emil | Jhey (product showcase) |
Core Principles (Both Modes)
The Frequency Gate
Before adding or approving any animation, ask how often the user triggers it:
| Frequency | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Rare (monthly) | Delightful, expressive motion welcome |
| Occasional (daily) | Subtle, fast motion |
| Frequent (100s/day) | Immediate or minimal feedback; retain useful brief motion without delay |
| Keyboard-initiated | Immediate response, stable focus; brief preference-respecting feedback if useful |
Show full SKILL.md (276 more words)Show less
Duration Guidelines (Context-Dependent)
| Context | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Productivity UI (Emil) | Under 300ms — 180ms ideal |
| Production polish (Jakub) | 200-500ms for smoothness |
| Creative/kids/playful (Jhey) | Whatever serves the effect |
Do not universally flag or cap durations. Check the context weighting first.
The Golden Rule
"The best animation is that which goes unnoticed."
If users comment "nice animation!" on every interaction, it's probably too prominent for production. (Exception: kids apps and playful contexts where delight IS the goal.)
Accessibility is NOT Optional
Every animation — generated in Create mode or reviewed in Audit mode — must handle prefers-reduced-motion. No exceptions. See references/accessibility.md.
Reference Index
| File | Contents | Load When |
|---|---|---|
| Motion Cookbook | All motion recipes — enter/exit, easing, springs, clip-path, @property, FLIP, scroll-driven | Load the sections for the selected effect; audit only for concrete repair recommendations |
| Creation Gotchas | Common implementation failure modes when writing motion | Create mode; apply relevant checks |
| Audit Checklist | Systematic audit checklist | Audit mode; inspect applicable categories |
| Anti-Checklist | Quality gate — AI-generated motion anti-pattern categories and motion issues to flag | Audit mode; inspect applicable categories |
| Emil Kowalski | Restraint philosophy, frequency rule, decision frameworks | Either mode, if Emil is weighted |
| Jakub Krehel | Production polish philosophy and decision frameworks | Either mode, if Jakub is weighted |
| Jhey Tompkins | Playful experimentation philosophy and frameworks | Either mode, if Jhey is weighted |
| Accessibility | prefers-reduced-motion, vestibular safety | Both modes (mandatory) |
| Performance | GPU optimization, will-change, layout thrash | Either mode, for complex animations |
| Output Format | Audit report template — inline default + optional rich HTML | Optional rich audit output |
| Demo Shell | Visual container template for per-finding demo cards in the HTML report | Audit mode, HTML output |
