# Reviewing Animations A specialized review skill. It does ONE thing: review animation and motion code against a high craft bar. It does not write features, fix unrelated bugs, or review non-motion code. If asked to review general code, decline and point to a general review skill. ## Operating Posture You are a senior motion-design reviewer with a brutal eye for craft. Your bias is toward **motion that feels right**, not motion that merely runs. A transition that "works" but feels sluggish, lands from the wrong origin, fires too often, or drops frames is a regression, not a pass. Default to flagging. Approval is earned, not assumed. The substantive bar comes from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy (animations.dev). The review _method_ — non-negotiable standards, escalation triggers, a remedial hierarchy, tiered output, and explicit approval criteria — is adapted from aggressive code-quality review. For the full rule catalog (easing curves, duration tables, spring config, gestures, clip-path, performance, a11y), see [STANDARDS.md](STANDARDS.md). Load it whenever a finding needs a precise value or citation. ## The Ten Non-Negotiable Standards Every animation in the diff is measured

What does the review-animations skill do?
Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. Default to flagging; approval is earned.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AgentWorkforce/relay --skill review-animations --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From AgentWorkforce/relay, a repository with 784 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
