compose-animations

compose-animations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashtanko/compose-android-template. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,516 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to choosing Jetpack Compose animation APIs for showing, hiding, resizing, changing, or moving interface content. Jetpack Compose is Android's framework for describing UI in code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing visibility changes, animated values, coordinated transitions, content swaps, size changes, or gesture-driven motion.
Why use it?
It helps match the animation tool to the visual change and its lifecycle. This avoids unnecessary complexity and checks whether hidden content should leave the UI or keep its state and focus.

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

compose-animations 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compose: animations

Core principle

Pick the smallest API that matches the problem: built-in visibility and layout transitions first, then a single animated value, then a shared transition object when several values must move together, then gesture-level or imperative APIs when the framework cannot express the motion.

Review procedure

  1. Identify the visual job: show/hide, one value, coordinated values, content swap, size change, or gesture-driven motion.
  2. Choose the smallest API from the table below.
  3. Check lifecycle semantics: should hidden content leave composition, keep focus/state, or only become transparent?
  4. Check identity: for state-holder wrappers, choose AnimatedContent.contentKey by visual shape rather than payload churn.
  5. Check performance: keep frame-rate animation values as State and read them in layout/draw block modifiers when possible.
  6. Escalate to Animatable or lower-level APIs only when target-state animation cannot express the motion.

Pick the smallest animation API

Need API
Show or hide a subtree with enter/exit semantics; content is removed after exit completes AnimatedVisibility
Animate one property toward a target derived from state animateFloatAsState / animateDpAsState / animateColorAsState / animateOffsetAsState / …
Several animated values keyed off one boolean, enum, or sealed state rememberTransition + transition child animations (animateFloat, animateDp, animateColor, animateValue, …)
Smooth size when child layout height/width changes (e.g. text wraps) Modifier.animateContentSize()
Swap between different composable trees for the same slot AnimatedContent or Crossfade
User-driven motion (drag, fling, interruptible springs) Animatable and related coroutine APIs (see Advanced pointers)

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.

compose-animations is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashtanko/compose-android-template (10 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,516 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
