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 aedev-tools/skills at 00f131ee54.

    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 allows AI agents to interact with Adobe After Effects, enabling automated video editing and motion graphics creation. It can generate simple animations, apply effects, and manipulate existing compositions based on textual instructions. The tool aims to streamline repetitive tasks within the After Effects workflow by leveraging AI-driven automation.

When to use it

  • Automate the generation of short promotional videos for social media.
  • Create variations of an animation with different color schemes or text overlays.
  • Apply consistent visual effects (e.g., transitions, lower thirds) across multiple video projects.
  • Quickly prototype motion graphics concepts based on written descriptions.

Key capabilities

  • Automated composition generation
  • Effect application and manipulation
  • Text overlay creation and modification
  • Animation parameter adjustments

Example prompts

  • "Create a short animation of a logo rotating and zooming in."
  • "Apply a 'glow' effect to all text layers in the current composition."
  • "Change the background color of the composition to #FF0000 (red)."
  • “Generate three variations of this animation, each with a different font.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Adobe After Effects to be installed and accessible.
  • Complex animations may require more detailed prompts for accurate results.
