Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00033 | $0.00938 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00469 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
dramatic-2000ms-plus 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 9d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dramatic Animations (2000ms+)
Beyond 2000ms, animation becomes cinema. These aren't UI transitions - they're short films embedded in your product. Reserve for moments that define your brand.
Disney Principles at Dramatic Scale
Full Cinematic Treatment
Squash & Stretch: Fully animated character - 40%+ deformation for organic, living motion. Physics-defying when needed.
Anticipation: Dramatic tension - 400-600ms build-up. The audience waits with expectation.
Staging: Cinematography - establishing shots, close-ups, reveals. Think in scenes, not states.
Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose: Hybrid approach - pose-to-pose structure with straight-ahead detail passes.
Follow Through: Extended ecosystem - everything continues moving after primary action. World feels alive.
Slow In/Slow Out: Emotional timing - curves match narrative beats. Pause for emphasis.
Arcs: Choreographed paths - every element's path is intentionally designed.
Secondary Action: Full orchestration - layers of motion at different scales and speeds.
Timing: 120+ frames at 60fps. Full animation production values.
Exaggeration: Artistic license - break physics for emotional truth.
Solid Drawing: 3D environments - parallax, depth of field, camera movement.
Appeal: Memorable experiences - users tell others about these moments.
Easing Recommendations
/* Multi-phase narrative */
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.22, 0.61, 0.36, 1);
/* Building drama */
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.55, 0.06, 0.68, 0.19);
/* Resolution/satisfaction */
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.25, 1, 0.5, 1);
/* Complex sequences - use multiple keyframes with varying easings */
Best Use Cases
- Product launch reveals
- Brand hero moments
- Premium onboarding (once per user)
- Achievement/milestone celebrations
- Game-like interactions
- Data story visualizations
- Annual report animations
- Marketing microsites
Implementation Pattern
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.

dramatic-2000ms-plus is a skill published in the GitHub repository dylantarre/animation-principles (81 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 938 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
