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.
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 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. …

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/emil-design-eng@sha256:10a36c47e637b150The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.752a38b, 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.
