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 theorcdev/8bitcn-ui at 37031e37d6.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to render SVG images as animated GIFs by wrapping them in a <div> element and applying CSS transforms or transitions. It addresses a common issue where directly animating SVG elements can lack hardware acceleration, resulting in choppy animations. This technique is particularly beneficial for 8-bit components featuring pixel art icons and animations, ensuring smoother visual effects through GPU acceleration.

When to use it

  • Creating animated icons for retro or pixel art themed projects.
  • Implementing hover effects on SVG icons that involve scaling or other transformations.
  • Generating smooth animations for SVG elements where direct animation is causing performance issues.
  • Adding dynamic visuals to web applications and user interfaces.

Key capabilities

  • Wraps SVG elements in a <div> to enable hardware-accelerated CSS animations.
  • Supports various CSS transforms and transitions (transform, opacity, translate, scale, rotate).
  • Specifically beneficial for 8-bit components with pixel art icons.
  • Converts the animated SVG into a GIF format.

Example prompts

  • "Create an animated GIF of a spinning pixel art icon."
  • "Generate a GIF showing a retro icon scaling up on hover."
  • “Animate this SVG using hardware acceleration and export as a GIF.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on CSS transforms and transitions for animation. Ensure the agent has access to appropriate styling capabilities.
  • Directly animating SVG elements is discouraged; always use the wrapper <div> technique for optimal performance.
