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 | $0.00023 | $0.00757 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00151 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
elegance-sophistication 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.

Elegance & Sophistication Animation
Create animations that convey refinement, luxury, and understated excellence.
Emotional Goal
Elegance emerges from restrained, perfectly timed motion. Sophistication means animations that are noticed for their quality, not their quantity—subtle excellence over obvious effort.
Disney Principles for Elegance
Squash & Stretch
Extremely minimal (0-5%). Refined objects don't deform—they glide. Preserve perfect proportions throughout motion.
Anticipation
Subtle, refined preparation (100-150ms). A gentle weight shift, not a wind-up. Elegant motion begins smoothly.
Staging
Negative space and restraint. Let elements breathe. Single focal point with generous margins. Less is more.
Straight Ahead Action
Avoid. Elegance requires control and precision. Every frame should be intentional and refined.
Follow Through & Overlapping Action
Graceful, extended settling. Like silk falling. Long, smooth deceleration without bounce or wobble.
Slow In & Slow Out
Extended easing on both ends. Gradual, flowing motion. cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) for refined transitions.
Arc
Sweeping, graceful curves. Like a conductor's baton or a dancer's arm. Beautiful paths, not just endpoints.
Secondary Action
Minimal, purposeful accents. A subtle shadow shift, a gentle highlight. Supporting motion that elevates, not distracts.
Timing
Unhurried but not slow (300-500ms). Time to appreciate the motion. Luxury doesn't rush.
Exaggeration
Almost none (0-10%). Realistic, refined movements. Perfection in subtlety.
Solid Drawing
Impeccable proportions maintained. No distortion. Geometric precision and balance.
Appeal
Clean lines, perfect proportions. Monochromatic or limited palette. Timeless aesthetics.
Timing Recommendations
| Element | Duration | Easing |
|---|---|---|
| Fade | 300-400ms | ease-in-out |
| Slide | 400-500ms | ease-out |
| Scale | 350-450ms | ease-in-out |
| Reveal | 500-700ms | ease-out |
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.

elegance-sophistication is a skill published in the GitHub repository dylantarre/animation-principles (80 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 757 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
