site-motion-excellence-director

site-motion-excellence-director is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frankxai/awesome-motion-design-agent-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A guide for planning and improving animation across websites and apps, including React and Next.js projects. It defines what motion should communicate, which technology to use, and how to support reduced-motion settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to specify page motion, scroll effects, transitions, timing sequences, runtime choices, reduced-motion behavior, and browser-based visual checks.
Why use it?
It prevents animation from being added before the page's message and user task are clear. It also provides checks for mobile layouts, accessibility, visual quality, and the final implementation.

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

site-motion-excellence-director 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 11d 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.

Site Motion Excellence Director

Use this skill before adding substantial motion to a website or app.

Workflow

  1. Identify the brand, route, audience, and first user task.
  2. Define the first read before animation.
  3. Name the motion job: orient, reveal, explain, confirm, compare, express brand, or convert.
  4. Pass the still-frame gate.
  5. Write a beat sequence: setup, trigger, primary move, secondary support, hold, final state.
  6. Choose the lightest runtime that preserves the intent.
  7. Specify reduced motion in the same pass.
  8. Implement only after the spec is clear.
  9. Verify with browser screenshots, mobile, reduced motion, and video/frame proof.
  10. Score with the excellence gate.

Runtime Rules

  • Use CSS for simple state changes, hover/focus, skeletons, and low-risk reveals.
  • Use Motion for React for component choreography, layout transitions, presence, and React scroll work.
  • Use GSAP ScrollTrigger for pinned, scrubbed, snapped, SVG/canvas, or complex authored timelines.
  • Use Rive for interactive vector state machines.
  • Use Lottie/dotLottie for portable non-interactive vector loops.
  • Use Three.js only when 3D is central and visually verified.
  • Use Remotion for rendered video, social variants, product explainers, and exact text/layout in media.
  • Use Grok/imagegen/Veo/Sora/Luma/Runway/Higgsfield only as source generation, then finish and QA in context.

Taste Rules

  • Motion is hierarchy over time.
  • Do not animate a weak still frame.
  • Make one object the hero.
  • Use stillness as contrast.
  • Keep repeated task motion short and quiet.
  • Do not bake exact product text into generated images or videos.
  • Treat mobile as separate choreography.
  • Never ship meaningful motion without reduced-motion behavior.

Required Spec

Use templates/site-motion/SITE_MOTION_SPEC.md for substantial site motion.

Use rubrics/site-motion-excellence-gate.md before handoff.

Output Shape

Return: motion thesis, first-read diagnosis, still-frame verdict, motion map, runtime choice, reduced-motion plan, implementation tasks, QA proof required, and excellence score.

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.
