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 dylantarre/animation-principles at 83597134ba.

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

About this skill

The motion-designer skill leverages animation principles to generate dynamic visual effects and interactive movements for web interfaces. It transforms static elements into engaging experiences by applying timing, easing, and spatial dynamics directly within the frontend codebase.

When to use it

  • Enhance landing page hero sections with smooth entrance animations that guide user attention.
  • Create micro-interactions for buttons or form inputs to provide immediate visual feedback.
  • Add parallax scrolling effects or floating elements to increase site depth and perceived quality.
  • Implement loading sequences that replace boring spinners with branded, principle-based motion graphics.

Key capabilities

  • Applies classic 12 principles of animation (squash and stretch, anticipation, easing) to CSS and JS.
  • Generates keyframe animations without requiring external libraries or heavy assets.
  • Adjusts physics-based parameters like gravity, bounce, and friction for organic movement.
  • Integrates seamlessly with React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript environments.

Example prompts

"Create a hero section animation where the main headline slides in from the left while the subtext fades up with a slight delay." "Add a bouncing effect to my submit button that uses squash and stretch principles when hovered over." "Design a loading screen sequence using floating geometric shapes that rotate and scale with easing curves."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your target devices can handle the increased rendering load from complex animations, especially on mobile. Test performance metrics like frame rate before deploying to production to avoid jank or battery drain.
