Motion design pass — adds purposeful animations or removes excessive ones, respecting MOTION_INTENSITY and the project's animation stack. Use when the user asks to add animation, "make it feel smoother", fix janky transitions, or trim motion that's distracting. Invoke when the user asks for animate on their UI, or mentions 'animate' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

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

<!-- HARNESS MIRROR — do not edit here. Canonical source: skills/ or commands/. After editing source, copy into cli/assets/<harness>/ and repo-root harness mirrors. -->

**Context:** this sub-skill is one lens of the broader `ui-craft` skill. If the `ui-craft` skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Add or fix animations in `$ARGUMENTS`. Load the `ui-craft` skill.

**Step 1 — Decision Ladder**: run the Decision Ladder from `references/motion.md` first. Anything that fails it gets removed, not improved.

**Step 2 — Pick the library**:

- If user opted into a stack during Discovery → read `references/stack.md`. Use the matching section (Motion, GSAP, or Three.js). Never mix libraries on the same property.
- Otherwise → CSS transitions / `@keyframes` / `animation-timeline: view()` only.

**Step 3 — Apply motion budget**:

| Element | Budget |
|---|---|
| Color/opacity | 100-150ms |
| Small UI (tooltips, dropdowns) | 150-200ms |
| Medium UI (modals, panels) | 200-300ms |
| Large UI (page transitions, drawers) | 300-400ms |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add educlopez/ui-craft/animate@sha256:aa58997e1c07657f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.bb71f4d, 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.
