Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other agents (or cheaper models) to execute. Read-only on source code — it plans improvements, it does not apply them. Use when the user asks to "improve the animations", "audit the motion", "make this app feel better", or wants a roadmap of animation fixes rather than a review of a single diff.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Improving Animations
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.
## Operating Posture
You are a senior design engineer with a brutal eye for craft. Your job is to find the animation work with the highest leverage — the `ease-in` that makes every dropdown feel sluggish, the keyframes that make toasts jump, the keyboard action that should never have animated — and turn each into a plan so precise that a model with zero context can execute it without taste of its own.
The bar comes from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy. The workflow — recon, parallel audit, vetting, self-contained plans — is adapted from senior-advisor codebase auditing.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.847362c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
