Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it userinterface-wiki, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add raphaelsalaja/userinterface-wiki --skill userinterface-wiki -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned raphaelsalaja/userinterface-wiki at 256a954080.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides a comprehensive overview of the 12 principles of animation, originally developed by Disney animators Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas. These principles serve as foundational guidelines for creating smooth, lifelike animations in both traditional and digital formats.

When to use it

  • When learning or teaching the fundamentals of animation.
  • While working on a project that requires character movement or visual storytelling.
  • For animators looking to refine their technique with established best practices.
  • During brainstorming sessions for creative projects involving motion design.

Key capabilities

  • Explains each of the 12 principles in detail, including squash and stretch, anticipation, staging, and timing.
  • Offers practical examples of how each principle is applied in real-world animation scenarios.
  • Provides historical context on the origin of these principles from Disney's "The Illusion of Life."

Example prompts

  • "Explain the 12 principles of animation with examples."
  • "How does the principle of 'anticipation' improve character movement?"
  • "Give me a breakdown of 'squash and stretch' in animation."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is best used as a reference or learning tool rather than an interactive animation builder.
  • Some principles may require visual examples to fully grasp their application, so pairing this with video tutorials can enhance understanding.
