Improving Animations

Pinned from emilkowalski/skills improve-animations at 85e8e2363b713506e1d5b6e07a0eb2da66be1bc3 (MIT). Listing: skills.sh. Official CLI: npx skills add https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills --skill improve-animations. Rule catalog: AUDIT.md. Plan format: PLAN-TEMPLATE.md. Provenance: SOURCE.txt.

In this repo: skills/improve-animations/SKILL.md. Scoped rule: rules/improve-animations.mdc (alwaysApply: false). User install: ~/.cursor/skills/improve-animations/ via ./scripts/install-local.sh then ./scripts/sync-user-skills.sh. Invoke with /improve-animations. Distinct from /emil-design-eng (authoring), /find-animation-opportunities (missing motion), /review-animations (single-diff review), and /apple-design (authoring Apple-style motion). Read-only on source — write plans under plans/ (or animation-plans/); do not implement unless the user asked execute.

Initial Response

When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:

I'm ready to audit your animations and plan the fixes, my knowledge comes from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy.

Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.

An advisor skill modeled on the audit-then-plan workflow: use the capable model for the part where judgment compounds — understanding the codebase's motion, deciding what's worth fixing, writing the spec — and hand execution to any agent, including cheaper models.

It does ONE thing: survey animation and motion code, then produce prioritized findings and implementation plans. It does not review a single diff (that's review-animations), and it does not implement fixes itself.
