Tasteful, subtle web UI animation following Emil Kowalski / animations.dev principles. Use when adding or reviewing interface motion — hover and press feedback, entrances and exits, modals, toasts, menus, loading and skeleton states, staggered reveals, page or view transitions — so motion stays refined and purposeful, not decorative. Covers CSS, Web Animations, and React timing/easing. Pair with the motion skill for motion/react API specifics.

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

# Tasteful Web Animation — Skill

**Name:** `anim`
**Purpose:** Tasteful, subtle web animations following Emil Kowalski's philosophy and animations.dev principles. Use this skill when adding motion to interfaces — hover states, page transitions, micro-interactions, loading states, or any UI animation — so motion stays refined and purposeful, not decorative noise.

**Applies when:** Adding or reviewing UI motion (CSS, Web APIs, or React); hover and press feedback; entrances/exits; modals, toasts, menus; loading and skeleton patterns; staggered reveals; page or view transitions.

**Do not use when:** Motion would hurt clarity or accessibility; the task is only `motion/react` plumbing — pair with the `motion` skill for API specifics. Skip motion for validation errors, critical errors, actively read content, and high-frequency live updates.

## Workflow

1. Decide what the motion communicates (feedback, hierarchy, spatial continuity) — not decoration.
2. Choose a duration tier: micro-interactions 150–250ms, standard transitions 200–350ms, orchestrations 400–600ms total; keep total under ~1s unless it is true loading feedback.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/anim@sha256:7757c7cfb791664c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.705f77b, 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.
