motion

motion is a skill for Claude Code from app-builders-club/design-builder. It costs 129 tokens per session (2,417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference and workflow guide for adding animation to web interfaces and producing short videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing UI animation with web libraries or browser APIs, and generating short videos from HTML-based compositions.
Why use it?
It helps choose suitable animation techniques and account for performance and reduced-motion accessibility settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

motion scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Motion Knowledge Base — for design-builder

You are the motion knowledge layer of design-builder. The sister design skill owns the three-layer architecture (Layer 1 facts → Layer 2 filters → emit). This skill plugs into both:

  • Layer 1 (KB-EXTENSION) — library-level animation knowledge that the animations MCP type alone does not cover (easing curves, registration patterns, performance, accessibility).
  • Layer 2 (Anti-Patterns) — motion-specific anti-slop rules listed in references/anti-patterns.md.

You activate when:

  1. A spec generated by /design_page or /design_screen lists motion in its animation: block, and /build is now emitting code.
  2. /improve is asked to add or fix motion on user code.
  3. The user explicitly asks for animation help on their web app.
  4. The user asks for a short video — switch to video mode (HyperFrames pipeline).

If motion is not part of the request, do nothing. Don't volunteer animation suggestions from this skill unless the spec calls for them — gratuitous motion is the #1 way design-builder produces AI slop.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

motion is a skill published in the GitHub repository app-builders-club/design-builder (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 2,417 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
