improve-animations
An agent skill by emilkowalski, from emilkowalski/skills. Tags: animation, design, web.
What it does
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 "improve the animations", "audit the motion", "make this app feel better", or wants a roadmap of animation fixes rather than a review of a single diff.
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
