Build one new animation (micro-interaction, page transition, scroll, hover) with Motion, CSS, or GSAP. Use when adding one animation to a new surface. A pass across an existing app → enhance-motion.

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

# Motion Design Skill

**Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Purpose and timing `[HIGH freedom]`; existing
motion inventory and reduced-motion `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`.

Create purposeful, performant animations that enhance UX without overwhelming users.

## How to reason

1. **Inventory** — existing motion library and `prefers-reduced-motion`
2. **Purpose** — feedback, orientation, focus, or (rare) delight
3. **Implement** — `transform`/`opacity` only; match the app's timing
4. **Motion-safe** — reduced-motion becomes an instant state change

## Worked example

> **Inventory:** Framer Motion already on the modal; no reduced-motion branch.
> **Purpose:** orientation — show the dialog arriving, not decoration.
> **Implement:** opacity + scale 0.95→1, 200ms ease-out; no `height` animation.
> **Motion-safe:** `prefers-reduced-motion` skips enter/exit; focus still moves.

## Self-critique before reporting

- **Purpose named** — not motion for its own sake
- **GPU-only** — no width/height/top/left animation
- **Reduced-motion proven** — a reduce setting was actually tested
- **Right owner** — app-wide coherent motion pass → `enhance-motion`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/skills/design-motion@sha256:cb0327e97749b2fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.39320f8, 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.
