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 dylantarre/animation-principles at 83597134ba.

    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

React Spring enables declarative physics-based animations for React applications. It allows developers to create smooth, performant transitions for UI elements without manual frame manipulation.

When to use it

  • Implementing complex entrance and exit effects for components.
  • Creating interactive hover states that react naturally to user input.
  • Building fluid layout shifts when data loads or changes dynamically.
  • Adding subtle motion to buttons, cards, or navigation menus to enhance UX.

Key capabilities

  • Physics-based animation: Simulates real-world physics for natural movement.
  • Declarative API: Defines animations through JSX props rather than imperative code.
  • Performance optimized: Leverages GPU acceleration for smooth 60fps rendering.
  • Spring system: Configurable tension, friction, and damping for varied motion styles.

Example prompts

  • "Create a spring animation that scales up a card when it enters the viewport."
  • "Add a physics-based bounce effect to a button click interaction using React Spring."
  • "Implement a smooth transition between two layout states when toggling a sidebar."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have React installed as a prerequisite, as this library is built specifically for the React ecosystem. While powerful, overusing complex animations can impact performance on lower-end devices; keep spring configurations lightweight for critical paths.
