Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to add animations and transitions to React Native applications built with Expo. It streamlines the process of enhancing user interfaces with motion effects without requiring manual code implementation for every interaction.
When to use it
- Enhancing app onboarding flows with smooth entry animations for new screens.
- Adding feedback loops, such as button presses or form submissions, to improve perceived performance.
- Creating engaging micro-interactions like loading spinners or success checkmarks.
- Polishing existing static UIs to make them feel more responsive and modern.
Key capabilities
- Integrating Expo's animation libraries directly into React Native projects.
- Defining complex motion paths and timing functions for dynamic elements.
- Managing state-based animations that respond to user interactions in real-time.
- Applying reusable animation styles across multiple components for consistency.
Example prompts
- "Create a fade-in slide-up animation for the welcome screen when the app loads."
- "Add a bounce effect to all primary buttons when they are clicked by the user."
- "Implement a loading spinner that rotates while data is being fetched from the API."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your Expo project has the necessary animation dependencies installed before attempting to apply these effects. Overusing animations can distract users, so keep motion subtle and purposeful to maintain a clean user experience.
