motion-frames

motion-frames is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nexu-io/open-design. It costs 91 tokens per session (937 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A single HTML composition that shows a full-screen animated design, such as rotating rings, a globe, labels, and a timer. Its CSS animations can be captured as a video or poster frame.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create looping animated hero visuals and prepare them for video exporters such as HyperFrames or Lottie.
Why use it?
It gives a motion-design brief a ready-made animated scene without requiring a separate animation application.

About the project

OpenDesign is an open-source, local-first desktop app that lets coding agents create prototypes, dashboards, slide decks, images, video, and design systems as exportable files. It is used by people working with agent runtimes such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and DeepSeek Harness. The catalogue add-ons extend the OpenDesign workflow with skills, instructions, commands, and plugins.

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-frames 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.

Motion Frames Skill

Produce a single full-bleed motion composition. Inline CSS animations only — the page is the loop. Treat it as a poster frame that an exporter (HyperFrames, Lottie, etc.) can capture into a video.

Workflow

  1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Motion lives or dies on typography contrast — pick the most expressive serif / display token in the DS for the headline; the body / mono token labels everything else.
  2. Compose the canvas as a 16:9 hero with these layers, back to front:
    • Stage — full-bleed <main>. Off-white or DS-canvas background, very subtle dotted grid texture (CSS background, radial-gradient dots at 22–32px intervals).
    • Concentric rings — 2–3 SVG circles radiating from a focal point. Ultra-thin strokes (0.5–1px) in DS-foreground at low opacity. These rotate at different speeds (60s, 90s, 180s).
    • Focal mark — a wireframe globe, a stylized object, or a typographic monogram drawn as inline SVG. ~28% of the canvas wide.
    • Ring labels — short words / phonetic tokens placed around one of the rings (e.g. "Hola · Bonjour · 你好 · नमस्ते"). They co-rotate with the ring, with <text> paths counter-rotated so the words stay upright.
    • Headline — bottom-left or center-bottom. Display serif, italic accent on one word. Add a subtle letterSpacing + opacity reveal animation (@keyframes type-in).
    • Frame chrome — corner stamps (top-left lab tag, top-right brand or issue number) and a thin baseline rule. Static.
  3. Animate with @keyframes only — no JS:
    • rotate-slow, rotate-med, rotate-fast for rings.
    • globe-spin for the focal mark.
    • pulse for the focal dot, ~2s, easing.
    • marquee-fade to reveal headline once on load.
  4. Write a single HTML document:
    • <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
    • All motion uses CSS — no scripts, so HyperFrames or any frame-grabber can capture it deterministically.
    • data-od-id on stage, focal, ring, headline, chrome.
  5. Self-check:
    • The composition still reads as a poster with motion paused at frame 0.
    • At least 3 layers move at different speeds (depth comes from delta velocity, not parallax tricks).
    • Accent appears once — usually the italic word in the headline.

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.
