What it installs

Skills (11)

  • animate

    Build an animation from scratch, making the decisions in the order that determines whether it feels right — should it animate at all, what purpose, which tool, which properties, which curve and duration, how it interrupts, how it exits. Writes the implementation. Use when asked to animate something,

  • animation-vocabulary

    Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without know

  • apple-design

    Apple's approach to interface design and fluid, physical motion, translated for the web. Use when building or reviewing gesture-driven UI, spring animations, drag/swipe/sheet interactions, momentum and interruptible transitions, translucent materials and depth, typography (optical sizing, tracking,

  • ask-sonner

    Guide to Sonner, the React toast library — install and wire up the Toaster, pick the right toast() call, promise and loading toasts, updating, dismissing and persisting toasts, styling, theming and icons, positioning and multiple toasters. Use when working with Sonner or troubleshooting it — toasts

  • emil-design-eng

    This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.

  • find-animation-opportunities

    Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animat

  • improve-animations

    Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other agents (or cheaper models) to execute. Read-only on source code — it plans improvements, it does not apply them. Use when the user asks to "imp

  • mobile-native

    Make a web app feel native on a phone — the small CSS and meta-tag fixes that separate "a website in a browser" from something that feels installed. Covers sticky hover states, tap highlight flashes, the 100vh bug, inputs that zoom the page, laggy taps, pull-to-refresh hijacking scroll, content unde

  • pick-ui-library

    Use ONLY when the user asks which library to use, or when the frontend-stack router delegates a library pick. Picks the right library for a frontend task from a curated, opinionated list: numbers, OTP inputs, charts, command menus, virtualization, drag and drop, toasts, state, styling, and more.

  • prototype

    Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks for several versions of a UI piece to compare, or when the frontend-stack router delegates a comparison of design directions. Builds multiple genuinely different versions behind a visual picker so the user can flip through them live and promote the one that fee

  • review-animations

    Use ONLY when the user asks to review motion, or when the frontend-stack router or ui-reviewer agent delegates a motion review. Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. Default to flagging; approval is earned.
