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 dylanfeltus/skills at b97a48f8f7.

    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 provides Framer Motion (now known as motion) patterns for React projects, enabling AI agents to build polished and delightful user interfaces with animations like springs, staggered reveals, layout animations, micro-interactions, scroll-triggered effects, and exit animations. It focuses on creating a premium feel through purposeful animation and prioritizes performance by recommending specific animation properties (transform and opacity) over others. The skill emphasizes that well-tuned motion is more impactful than excessive or poorly implemented animations.

When to use it

  • Building or improving UI animations in a React project.
  • When users request "polish," "delight," "micro-interactions," or want the UI to "feel good."
  • Adding entrance/exit animations, hover effects, or page transitions.
  • Creating premium experiences for lists, cards, modals, or navigation elements.
  • If a user references Magic UI, Motion Primitives, or Framer Motion.

Key capabilities

  • Provides pre-defined spring configurations (snappy, smooth, gentle, bouncy) for common animation needs.
  • Offers patterns like "Fade + Rise Entrance" and "Staggered List" to quickly implement effective animations.
  • Guides on best practices for performance optimization (animating transform and opacity only).
  • Includes guidance on selecting appropriate stiffness and damping values for different animation types.

Example prompts

  • “Add a ‘snappy’ spring animation to this button when it's clicked.”
  • "Implement the 'Fade + Rise Entrance' pattern for this card element."
  • "Create a staggered list animation for these items."

Tips & gotchas

  • Dependency: Requires npm install motion to be run.
  • Package Name Change: The package was renamed from framer-motion to motion. Both names work, but motion is the current recommended name.
  • Subtlety is Key: Avoid large animation values (e.g., y: 100) as they can make animations feel janky; subtle movements (12–24px) are generally preferred for a premium feel.
