animation-vocabulary

animation-vocabulary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from termio-sh/termio. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,905 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of animation-vocabulary, MIT.

A glossary that identifies the correct name for a web animation or motion effect from a vague description. For example, it can distinguish effects such as a popover entrance or iOS-style rubber-band scrolling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to name animation effects, choose terminology for a design or engineering request, and distinguish closely related motion patterns.
Why use it?
It helps developers and designers communicate about motion when they know what an effect looks like but not its established term. It also compares similar terms when more than one might fit.

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

animation-vocabulary 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 10d 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 — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Animation Vocabulary

Turn a vague description of a motion or effect into the precise term, so the user knows what to ask for.

Quick Start

The user describes an effect loosely. You return the matching term(s) in this format:

**Stagger** — Animate several items one after another with a small delay between each, creating a cascade.

If several terms could fit, list the best match first, then 1–2 alternates with a one-line note on how they differ.

Instructions

  1. Read for intent, not keywords. Users describe what they see or feel ("springy", "slides off", "draws itself in"), not the technical name. Map the sensation to the glossary below.
  2. Quote the glossary verbatim. Its descriptions are authoritative — use them as-is, don't paraphrase.
  3. Disambiguate close terms. When two compete (Clip-path vs Mask, Pop in vs Bounce, Shared element transition vs Layout animation), contrast them so the user can pick.
  4. When nothing matches exactly, name the closest term and say plainly it's an approximation, or describe the effect in the glossary's vocabulary (e.g. "that's a stagger of scale-in entrances").
  5. Stay within this glossary. If a term genuinely isn't here, say so rather than inventing one — though you may explain the concept using these words.
  6. Keep it tight. A naming question wants a name, not an essay. Lead with the term; expand only if asked.

Examples

Example 1 — feel-based User: "What's it called when a popover seems to grow out of the button you clicked instead of from its middle?" Output:

**Origin-aware animation** — An element animates out of its trigger, like a popover growing from the button that opened it instead of from its own center which is the default in CSS.

Example 2 — disambiguation User: "The thing where one image turns into another image." Output:

**Morph** — One shape smoothly turns into another shape, e.g. Dynamic Island.

Close alternates:
- **Crossfade** — if they simply fade over each other in the same spot.
- **Shared element transition** — if an element travels and transforms from one position into another.
