animated-github-profile

animated-github-profile is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (4,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating animated GitHub profile README files using SVG, CSS, and SMIL. A GitHub profile README is the Markdown page shown on a user's profile; these formats add motion without JavaScript, which GitHub removes for safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build animated profile pages with dark and light themes, moving badges, technology orbits, contribution graphs, and GitHub Actions that update generated visuals.
Why use it?
It works around GitHub's restrictions on scripts, iframes, and common web animation libraries in README files.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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-github-profile 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.

Animated GitHub Profile Skill

A comprehensive guide and agent instruction set for designing, generating, and deploying animated GitHub profile READMEs that work within GitHub's JavaScript restrictions using pure SVG and CSS/SMIL animations.


When to Use This Skill

  • Use when designing, revamping, or generating an animated GitHub profile README (username/username).
  • Use when working within GitHub's Markdown HTML sanitization to render interactive or motion elements using pure SVG, CSS @keyframes, and SMIL.
  • Use when creating theme-adaptive assets (dark/light mode) using <picture> elements.
  • Use when automating dynamic contribution graphs, snakes, or 3D cityscapes via GitHub Actions.

Why SVG Animations?

  1. GitHub Security Model: GitHub sanitizes all Markdown files and strips out all <script> tags, inline JavaScript, and iframes. Normal web motion libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP, Three.js) cannot execute in a GitHub README.
  2. Native SVG Motion: Pure SVG with @keyframes CSS and SMIL (<animate>, <animateTransform>) is one animation option; animated GIFs are another, and SVG animation support varies by browser and image context.
  3. Zero Third-Party Downtime: Unlike external status generators (e.g., github-readme-stats, shields.io) that frequently fail when GitHub API rate-limits are reached, self-contained SVGs committed to the profile repository avoid a live third-party generator dependency, though rendering and cache behavior still need testing.

Architectural Layout

A top-tier animated profile combines the following modules stacked vertically in README.md:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
