Inspect a Core UI or code surface for a small number of justified motion opportunities and explicitly identify what should remain static. Use when asked what should animate, where motion would improve feedback or comprehension, how to make an interface feel more alive without over-animating it, or whether a proposed animation is worth adding. Read-only; do not use to review or fix existing motion code or to implement animations.
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
# Find animation opportunities
Find high-value motion by exercising restraint. A result with no surviving
opportunities is valid; daily-use product UI usually benefits from less motion.
## Triggers
- Use when asked what should animate, where motion would improve an otherwise
static interface, or which proposed motion ideas are worth pursuing.
- Do not use to fix current animations, review a motion diff, or implement the
recommendations; route those follow-ups to the existing motion skills.
## Authority and boundaries
1. Read `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md`, then
`docs/ai/skills/emil-design-engineering/SKILL.md` and
`docs/ai/skills/anim/SKILL.md` before judging a surface.
2. Core's tokens, Base UI primitives, shared utilities, route-transition
boundary, touch gates, and reduced-motion baseline override generic examples.
3. Use `improve-animations` to audit or plan fixes for existing motion and
`review-animations` only for an explicitly requested motion-diff review. Use
`motion` later if an approved implementation needs `motion/react` details.
4. This skill reports evidence and recipes only. Do not edit source, write plan

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.4239f12, 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.
