Individual skill

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, add motion, make a component feel alive, or build a transition. For critiquing existing motion use review-animations; for auditing a whole codebase use improve-animations.

# Building Animations

## Initial Response

When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:

> I'm ready to build animations that feel right, my knowledge comes from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy.

Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.

A construction skill. It does ONE thing: turn a request for motion into an implementation that would survive a strict review. It does not audit a codebase (that's `improve-animations`), critique a diff (that's `review-animations`), hunt for places that could animate (that's `find-animation-opportunities`), or build for React Native (that's `animate-expo`).
