    keyboard

    Load this skill for every project containing interactive UI elements — buttons, links, modals, dropdowns, sliders, tabs, carousels, or any custom widget. Under no circumstances create an interactive component that cannot be fully operated by keyboard alone. Absolutely always ensure visible focus indicators, logical tab order, and no keyboard traps. Apply these rules to every interactive element without exception.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 32 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    License: no LICENSE file in the upstream repo <!-- das:install:end -->

    line 55

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 32 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

motion

Catalogue stub — full skill: motiondivision/ai-kit

<!-- das:install:start — generated from stub.yaml by `npm run generate`; edit stub.yaml, not this block -->

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed?
    • Global: f=~/.agents/skills/motion/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • Project: f=.agents/skills/motion/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • installed → the skill is installed as motion, invoke it and proceed
    • pointer → go to step 2

  2. Detect scope, then install:

    [ -e ~/.agents/skills/motion ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

    Global:

    npx skills add motiondivision/ai-kit --skill motion -g -y

    Project:

    npx skills add motiondivision/ai-kit --skill motion -y

    Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Heads-up

  • Requires: Optional, for docs search and CSS spring generation: Motion's free hosted MCP server (no API key). A skills-only install does not configure it; upstream's own installer is npx motion-ai; Optional, for MotionScore performance audits and Motion UI source code: a Motion+ membership and its MCP server
  • License: no LICENSE file in the upstream repo
<!-- das:install:end -->

Invoke after install

  • Skill name: motion
  • Slash command: /motion with a question or subcommand, for example /motion audit src/Modal.tsx, /motion spring bounce 0.3, /motion upgrade
  • Trigger phrases: "Motion animation skill", "motion.dev", "MotionScore", "CSS spring easing"

What it does

The official Motion AI Kit skill from the Motion team (Motion is the library formerly called Framer Motion, imported from motion/react). One skill with several modes:

  • Animation best practices, hand-written by the creator of Motion, for vanilla JS, React, Vue, Base UI and Radix, for both Motion and plain CSS, including when to choose each.
  • Docs, example and Motion UI search so the agent works from current Motion documentation.
  • CSS spring and bounce generation using the linear() easing.
  • MotionScore performance audits (code and runtime) that grade an animation and suggest cheaper alternatives.
  • Upgrade guidance for moving from framer-motion to motion and between Motion versions.
  • Transition preview for tuning curves and springs.

Best practices work with the plain skills install. Docs search and spring generation use Motion's free hosted MCP server, which a skills-only install does not set up (upstream's own npx motion-ai installer configures it). Audits and Motion UI source code need a paid Motion+ membership.

When NOT to use

  • Third-party Framer Motion skills split by topic (gestures, scroll, layout, variants) → use framer-motion-skills
  • GSAP-specific projects or complex timeline orchestration → use gsap-skills
  • Vanilla CSS animation without any library → use animate-css-skill
  • Choosing between animation approaches → use motion-catalogue

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
