Build an animation from scratch, making the decisions in the order that determines whether it feels right — should it animate at all, what purpose, which tool, which properties, which curve and duration, how it interrupts, how it exits. Writes the implementation. Use when asked to animate something, add motion, make a…
Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and…
This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.
Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animations, use…
Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other agents (or cheaper models) to execute. Read-only on source code — it plans improvements, it does not apply them. Use when the user asks to "improve the…
Build multiple genuinely different versions of a UI piece you describe, rendered behind a visual picker so you can flip through them live and promote the one that feels right. Only runs when explicitly invoked; it does not trigger on its own.
Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. Default to flagging; approval is earned.
Website design system and development specification for website-launchpad. Trigger when the user asks to build, add, or modify any page, landing page, component, or section in this project. Also trigger for requests like "create a new page", "build a section", "match the site style", or "stay consistent with the…
One-click local environment bootstrap for website-launchpad. Use when users (especially non-coders) ask to set up or fix local development environment, install missing dependencies (git/node/pnpm), run first-time install, or verify the project can run.
SEO specification for website-launchpad. Trigger when building or modifying any page, adding metadata, configuring schema, setting up analytics, or working on anything that affects search engine visibility. Always read this alongside design-system/SKILL.md before generating any page code.
