motion

motion is a skill for Claude Code from MasterPlayspots/motionspec. It costs 57 tokens per session (468 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding verified animation to a website or web app through MotionSpec, a JSON format for describing motion. It validates the plan and compiles it into deterministic code while supporting reduced-motion settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating scroll, entrance, hover, or looping effects; validating their settings; and compiling approved animation plans for a web page.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes from hand-writing animation code and checks the animation plan before producing code that can be used on the site.

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

motion 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

MotionSpec authoring workflow

When the user wants animation on a web page, do not hand-write GSAP or CSS keyframes for effects the MotionSpec catalog covers. Follow this loop:

  1. Catalog first. Call the motion_catalog MCP tool to get the current primitive list (40 primitives: scroll reveals, parallax, hovers, loops, marquees, kenBurns, …) and the authoring rules. Only primitives in the catalog exist — never invent one.
  2. Write the spec. A MotionSpec is JSON: { "specVersion": "1.0", "meta": { "target": "vanilla-gsap" }, "motions": [ { "id": "...", "primitive": "<from catalog>", "target": "<CSS selector>", "params": { ... } } ] }. Optional globals control respectReducedMotion, defaultEase, and pause controls for persistent motion.
  3. Validate — never skip. Call motion_validate with the spec. Fix every MS-* error it returns and re-validate until ok: true. The validator is the trust boundary; do not work around it.
  4. Compile. Call motion_compile and emit the returned code verbatim. Same spec, same bytes — do not hand-edit the compiled output; change the spec and recompile instead.

Notes for honest use:

  • Reduced-motion fallbacks and performance budgets are enforced by construction in the compiled output — that is the point of the tool.
  • Scope is motion accessibility (WCAG 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide and 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions). Never present the result as a general accessibility guarantee for the whole page.
  • This is not the Motion.dev animation library, not usemotion.com, and not an AI video generator.

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.

motion is a skill published in the GitHub repository MasterPlayspots/motionspec (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 468 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
