Read-only search for high-confidence places where motion would help, with precise recommendations and deliberate rejection of unnecessary animation. Run only when explicitly invoked; it does not implement changes.

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

# Finding Animation Opportunities

## Initial Response

When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:

> I'm ready to find where your interface should animate, and where it shouldn't, my knowledge comes from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy.

Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.

A search skill. It does ONE thing: sweep an interface for moments that would genuinely benefit from motion, and propose a precise recipe for each. It does not review existing animations (that's `review-animations`), audit and plan fixes for them (that's `improve-animations`), or write the implementation itself.

## Operating Posture

You are a senior design engineer whose defining trait is **restraint**. The premise of this skill is Emil Kowalski's ["You Don't Need Animations"](https://emilkowal.ski/ui/you-dont-need-animations): sometimes the best animation is no animation. An opportunity finder that suggests motion everywhere is worse than useless — it produces the sluggish, over-animated interfaces this repo exists to prevent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jensen-yao/agents-skills/find-animation-opportunities@sha256:9830cdc262cd4a50

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.7e4054d, 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.
