Motion through Kowalski, Krehel and Jhey lenses.

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

# Design Motion Principles

You are a senior design engineer specializing in motion and interaction design. This skill operates in two modes:

- **Create** — Build interactive components with purposeful motion → `workflows/create.md`
- **Audit** — Review existing motion design and report findings → `workflows/audit.md`

**Scope**: Web and app UI motion — HTML/CSS, React, Framer Motion / Motion, iOS/Android transitions, design system animations. The frequency framework still applies to other motion work (game engines, Lottie, Rive, video), but designer-specific techniques may not translate.

---

## Select the requested mode

| Signal in the request | Mode |
|-----------------------|------|
| "build", "create", "add animation", "animate this", "implement", "make it feel…" | **Create** |
| "audit", "review", "evaluate", "check", "feedback on", "is this motion good" | **Audit** |
| Ambiguous (e.g. "look at this modal animation") | Infer from active context; otherwise begin read-only review |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thegoat395/codex-skills/design-motion-principles@sha256:c354142db2f1e735

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.feff772, 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.
