Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

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 kylezantos/design-motion-principles at 4a9ca879f2.
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

The design-motion-principles skill provides foundational knowledge on the core principles of motion design, including timing, spacing, easing, and rhythm. It helps users understand how to create smooth, purposeful animations that enhance user experience in digital interfaces.

When to use it

When designing UI animations for web or mobile applications
When learning the fundamentals of motion design theory
When preparing for a project that requires animated transitions or micro-interactions

Key capabilities

Explains timing and pacing in animation
Covers easing functions and their effects
Discusses rhythm and repetition in motion sequences
Provides examples of real-world motion design applications

Example prompts

"Explain the principle of easing in motion design."
"How can rhythm be applied to create engaging animations?"
"What are common timing techniques used in UI transitions?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill is best suited for beginners or those looking to reinforce their understanding of motion theory.
Practical application through tools like Figma or After Effects will help solidify the concepts learned.
