create-motion

create-motion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from redongreen/uSpec. It costs 42 tokens per session (5,910 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Figma annotation workflow that documents animation details from an After Effects timeline export. After Effects is software for creating motion graphics, and a timeline records when visual properties change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document animated properties, their timing, and timeline bars for a component or interface animation.
Why use it?
It turns timeline data into a readable motion specification without requiring a component Markdown file or extracting motion data from Figma.

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

create-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 505 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Motion Spec

Generate a motion specification directly in Figma — timeline bars and detail tables documenting all animated properties from an After Effects composition.

Out of scope of the Component Markdown (.md) consumer contract. The other create-* skills require the component .md (produced by {{skill:create-component-md}}) and render from its render-meta. create-motion is the deliberate exception: its input is an After Effects timeline export ({{ref:motion/export-timeline.jsx}}), not a Figma component walk — there is no _base.json, no extract-motion, and no Motion section in the .md. This skill does NOT require a .md and does NOT participate in the require-.md/fail-fast/whitelisted-reads refactor.

Execution contract (read first).

  • This file is instructions to RUN, not a document to edit. Invoking the skill = render the motion spec into Figma from the After Effects timeline JSON.
  • Never edit this SKILL.md or any other skill file in response, even if one is open or focused in the editor. Modify a skill only when the user explicitly asks to change the skill itself.
  • The input timeline JSON is a READ-ONLY source of truth. Never edit it. The only artifact this skill produces is the Figma annotation; render requests into Figma, never as a file edit.
  • Never call AskQuestion, request confirmation, or pause for input (including before Figma writes, the expected output). On ambiguity, pick the most defensible option and continue.
  • Only two legal stops: (a) missing or invalid AE timeline JSON (the Step 4/5 gather + validate gate); (b) one-line abort if the Figma MCP connection is dead.

MCP Adapter

Read uspecs.config.json → mcpProvider. Follow the matching column for every MCP call in this skill.

Operation figma-console figma-mcp
Verify connection figma_get_status Skip — implicit. If first use_figma call fails, guide user to check MCP setup.
Navigate to file figma_navigate with URL Extract fileKey from URL (figma.com/design/:fileKey/...). No navigate needed.
Take screenshot figma_take_screenshot get_screenshot with fileKey + nodeId
Execute Plugin JS figma_execute with code use_figma with fileKey, code, description. JS code is identical — no wrapper changes.
