css-animation-skill

Catalogue stub — full skill: neonwatty/css-animation-skill

Decision tree

1. Is the full skill already installed? Upstream names this skill css-animation, so it installs next to this pointer (the pointer is not replaced).
   • Global: f=~/.agents/skills/css-animation/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
   • Project: f=.agents/skills/css-animation/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
   • installed → the skill is installed as css-animation, invoke it and proceed
   • pointer → go to step 2

2. Detect scope, then install:

   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/css-animation-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

   Global:

   npx skills add neonwatty/css-animation-skill --skill css-animation -g -y

   Project:

   npx skills add neonwatty/css-animation-skill --skill css-animation -y

Heads-up

• Requires: Claude Code with the Claude-in-Chrome MCP tools; A target app reachable in the browser
• License: MIT

• Skill name: css-animation
• Trigger phrases: "CSS animation", "custom animation", "animation from live app", "css-animation-skill"

What it does

Runs a four-phase animation creation workflow: (1) researches your live app using Claude-in-Chrome MCP to extract the existing design language (colours, fonts, spacing) and layout geometry; (2) interviews you about what feature to animate, the style (feature demo or multi-screen carousel) and the key payoff moment; (3) produces an animation brief and a self-contained HTML/CSS output file with the custom animation; (4) runs a freeze-inspect-feedback review loop until the result is approved. Produces bespoke animations matched to your app's visual identity rather than off-the-shelf library classes.

When NOT to use

• Library-based animations where custom keyframes aren't needed (use animate-css-skill or framer-motion-skills)
• Video or Lottie output (use wiggle-claude-skill)
