animated-icons

animated-icons is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lukedj78/dev-flow. It costs 247 tokens per session (2,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that adds a ready-made animated icon to a Next.js web app using components from a shadcn registry. Next.js is a framework for building web applications with React.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add animated interface icons such as navigation or action symbols to a Next.js project, with source code copied into the repository.
Why use it?
It avoids manually drawing and animating an SVG icon. Choosing an icon set that matches the app’s existing icons keeps the interface visually consistent.

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

animated-icons 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 yesterday.

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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

animated-icons — Motion-animated icons via the shadcn registries

Adds one pre-built, Motion-animated icon to a Next.js app instead of hand-rolling an SVG animation. Two registries ship them as shadcn components, both MIT, both on motion, both copied into your repo as source you then own:

Registry Icons Namespace Extra file
heroicons-animated 316 @heroicons-animated/<name> — each icon is self-contained
hugeicons-animated 165 @hugeicons-animated/<name> lib/use-icon-animation.ts, a shared hook installed once

Pick the one that matches the project's static set, not the one with more icons: an animated Heroicon next to Hugeicons outlines reads as a different drawing, because it is. Read meta.json#stack.icon_library (or the DESIGN.md icon block) before choosing, and say which you picked and why.

This is the ecosystem-first move for animated icons — the same rule as everywhere in dev-flow: don't hand-animate a bell/heart/menu SVG when a maintained, tokenizable component exists. This skill owns the install plus the two things the raw components don't give you: an accessibility guard (they animate unconditionally) and timing aligned to your motion tokens.

When this skill applies

  • "animated icon", "animate this icon", "make the bell/heart/menu icon animate on hover", "aggiungi un'icona animata", an icon micro-interaction (notification bell shake, menu↔close morph, heart like).

If the user wants a whole motion system (durations/easings/tiers), that's transitions. If they want a static icon, that's the plain heroicons/lucide set from the UI library. If the motion runtime isn't wired yet, this skill routes to module-add motion first (the components import from motion/react).

Contract

Follows the dev-flow contract — see references/contracts.md. Key facts:

  • Reads meta.json#stack.frameworkrefuses if not {"next", "monorepo"} (web). React Native → rn-animations-gestures.
  • Requires the motion runtime (each icon imports from motion/react). If absent, route to module-add motion first.
  • Requires a shadcn-configured project (components.json). If the project uses Base UI/MUI without shadcn CLI, the components still work (they're plain motion + SVG) but you install them by hand — see references/usage.md.
  • Records nothing structural and does not bump phase — appends a history entry per install. Horizontal capability.

Changes

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.
