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 apoorvlathey/motion-canvas-skills at 5cdaf35775.

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

About this skill

motion-canvas

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate and manipulate Motion Canvas, a declarative animation system for React applications. It allows developers to define complex visual transitions and state-based animations directly within their component logic without writing imperative animation code.

When to use it

  • Creating smooth, performant UI transitions between different application states in a React environment.
  • Implementing declarative animations that automatically respond to prop changes or data updates.
  • Building interactive prototypes where visual feedback needs to be tightly coupled with component state.
  • Replacing verbose CSS keyframe or library-based animations with a more maintainable, code-driven approach.

Key capabilities

  • Declarative animation definitions for React components.
  • State-driven visual transitions and effects.
  • Integration within the React ecosystem for seamless component composition.
  • Simplified syntax for managing complex motion logic compared to imperative methods.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a React component using Motion Canvas that animates a card flipping when hovered over."
  • "Create a declarative animation sequence where list items slide in from the left as they are added to the state."
  • "Implement a loading spinner using Motion Canvas that pulses based on the isLoading prop."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project is set up with React and the necessary Motion Canvas dependencies before attempting to generate animations. While powerful for declarative workflows, complex physics-based or timeline-driven animations may still require external libraries depending on specific needs.
