emil-design-eng is agent-read markdown (skill) from asymmetric-al/core: This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great. Use as a craft companion after Core's frontend, emil-design-engineering, and anim guidance..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# Design Engineering
<!-- CORE-OVERLAY-START -->
## This repository (Asymmetric-al/core)
This is the current main skill from `emilkowalski/skills`, adapted as a
companion to Core's broader animations.dev skill and operative motion contract.
Review this overlay before running `bun run skills:sync`.
### Triggers
- UI polish, animation decisions, gesture interactions, perceived performance,
or frontend craft review.
- Reviewing React, Tailwind, Base UI, or Motion code for interaction feel.
- A concrete task should be answered directly; the upstream Initial Response
applies only to a bare invocation with no question or task.
### Workflow
1. Read `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md` and load
`docs/ai/skills/emil-design-engineering/SKILL.md` for broad design
engineering guidance.
2. Load `docs/ai/skills/anim/SKILL.md` for Core tokens, Base UI conventions,
route transitions, and reduced-motion behavior.
3. Use this skill for craft judgment; use `motion` only when `motion/react` API
details are needed.
4. Prefer shared utilities and `@asym/lib/motion-presets` over raw timing or
easing literals shown in upstream examples.
