Description
animate is an agent skill for building an animation from scratch, making the decisions in the order that determines whether it feels right: whether it should animate at all, what its purpose is, which tool to use, and then the timing and easing. Its operating posture is that of a senior design engineer building the animation so that it would pass a strict review on the first attempt, drawing on Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy. The skill does one job: turn a request for motion into an implementation. It does not audit a codebase, critique a diff, search for places that could animate, or build for React Native, each of which the collection handles with a separate skill. Use it when you need a specific animation, such as a drawer, a toast or a transition, built with care. It is part of the emilkowalski/skills repository on GitHub, which has about 46,200 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 144,300 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills --skill animate.…
