motion-design

motion-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrDesign-ww/vault-os. It costs 82 tokens per session (3,371 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of motion-design, MIT.

A guide for designing motion in user interfaces, such as animations, transitions, loading states, and scroll effects. It covers timing, easing, choreography, and established animation principles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Plan or create interface animations, button and component feedback, page transitions, loading and error states, animated illustrations, and scroll-triggered effects.
Why use it?
It helps make movement communicate feedback, guide attention, and express a product’s visual character instead of feeling arbitrary or confusing.

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-design 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.

Motion Design Skill

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • Creating UI animations (buttons, cards, modals, page transitions)
  • Designing micro-interactions and feedback animations
  • Building loading, success, or error states
  • Animating illustrations or decorative elements
  • Planning scroll-triggered or progress-based animations
  • Establishing brand motion identity
  • Choreographing multi-element sequences

Decision tree:

  1. Does it serve a functional purpose (feedback, guidance)? → Timing rules for responsiveness
  2. Does it express brand personality? → Motion Personality archetypes
  3. Does it tell a story or guide attention? → Disney principles + choreography
  4. Is this a complex multi-element scene? → 1/3 Rule + stagger patterns

Quick Reference: 8-Step Checklist

Before creating any animation:

  1. Emotional target? — joy, calm, urgency, elegance
  2. Motion Personality? — Playful, Premium, Corporate, Energetic
  3. Primary property? — position, scale, rotation, opacity
  4. Duration? — see duration table below
  5. Easing family? — entrance=decelerate, exit=accelerate
  6. Hero element? — apply staging principles
  7. Secondary + ambient layers? — add richness
  8. 1/3 rules? — motion distance, simultaneous elements

Three Pillars (CRITICAL)

Every animation must satisfy three pillars before any technical decisions:

Pillar Question Drives
Emotional Intent What should the viewer FEEL? Easing, timing, amplitude
Visual Narrative What's the micro-story? Setup → Action → Resolution
Motion Craft How do we make it believable? Physics, secondary motion, paths

Three motion layers (flat animation = missing layers):

  • Primary: Main action the viewer follows
  • Secondary: Supporting richness (shadows, icons shifting)
  • Ambient: Background life (gradients, subtle pulses)

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.
