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/adobe-agent-skills at 00f131ee54.

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

About this skill

The After Effects skill enables AI agents to automate complex visual effects workflows within Adobe After Effects. It allows for programmatic control over composition creation, layer manipulation, and effect application directly from code or agent commands.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive rendering tasks across hundreds of video clips.
  • Generating dynamic motion graphics based on real-time data feeds.
  • Batch-applying specific color correction presets to entire project timelines.
  • Creating procedural animations that adjust automatically to scene changes.

Key capabilities

  • Programmatic creation and management of After Effects compositions.
  • Direct manipulation of layers, keyframes, and properties via API.
  • Application of built-in and custom effects through script execution.
  • Automation of export settings and rendering processes.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new composition named 'Intro_Sequence' with a 1920x1080 resolution and add a solid background layer."
  • "Apply the 'Gaussian Blur' effect to all text layers in the current project and set the blur amount to 5 pixels."
  • "Export the active composition as an MP4 file using H.264 codec at 30 frames per second."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has the necessary permissions to access Adobe After Effects via the installed plugin or API bridge. Complex effects requiring manual node adjustments may still need human oversight even when automated.
