Create an animation with OpenRive

Use this skill when the requested result is a real .riv asset, not a mockup or a CSS-only animation.

Choose the connection

1. Prefer the OpenRive MCP server when the agent has an MCP connection.

   • Local stdio uses the configured openrive server in .mcp.json.
   • HTTP MCP uses the deployment's /api/mcp endpoint and a scoped bearer key.
   • Remote MCP requests must send .riv bytes as dataBase64; filesystem paths are local-stdio only.

2. Use the OpenRive CLI when MCP is unavailable:

   bun run cli templates
   bun run cli new "Animation name" --template interactive-button
   bun run cli info "Animation name" --json
   bun run cli export "Animation name" ./animation.riv
   bun run cli validate ./animation.riv
