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

ux-friction

What it does

This skill applies animation principles specifically designed to reduce user interface friction, making interactions feel smoother and more intuitive. It enhances the user experience by smoothing transitions and eliminating jarring movements that can disrupt workflow.

When to use it

  • Onboarding flows: Soften complex multi-step setup processes to prevent users from abandoning the task.
  • Form submissions: Provide seamless feedback animations when users submit data or encounter validation errors.
  • Navigation changes: Smoothly transition between different views or pages to maintain user context and focus.
  • Error recovery: Animate error states gently to guide users back on track without causing frustration.

Key capabilities

  • Implements specific animation principles to minimize UI friction.
  • Optimizes transitions for a more natural feel.
  • Enhances overall interaction smoothness.

Example prompts

  • "Apply ux-friction principles to my checkout process to reduce cart abandonment."
  • "How can I use this skill to make my form validation errors less jarring?"
  • "Refine the transition between dashboard views using friction-reducing animations."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is part of the animation-principles collection, so ensure your project already supports animation logic before installing. While it improves perceived performance, test on low-end devices to ensure animations don't introduce unintended lag.
