Skill1 starsChanged 4 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Apple's approach to interface design and fluid, physical motion, translated for the web. Use when building or reviewing gesture-driven UI, spring animations, drag/swipe/sheet interactions, momentum and interruptible transitions, translucent materials and depth, typography (optical sizing, tracking, leading), reduced-motion, or the design foundations (feedback, spatial consistency, restraint) behind Apple-style interfaces.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. 8 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
8
Common
Most of the 44 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 44 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.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use pick-ui-library, write-swift and 6 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
cal1888Skillpick-ui-library
Pick the right library for a given frontend task from a curated, opinionated list — numbers, OTP inputs, charts, command menus, virtualization, drag and drop, toasts, state, styling, and more. Only runs when explicitly invoked; it does not trigger on its own.

wxyhgkSkillfind-animation-opportunities
Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animations, use improve-animations or review-animations instead.

swyxioSkillmobile-native
Apply swyx's native mobile UX preferences when designing or critiquing iPhone/iPad flows, adapting tablet layouts, choosing communication-app notification behavior, or opening notifications/deep links/widgets/shortcuts before local content is ready. Also use for iOS/iPadOS generated build configuration, signing/install/launch problems, and device playtesting. Keep existing native or cross-platform stacks; excludes browser-only responsive work and backend-only changes without native UX or delivery implications.

jtfasulo7Skillanimation-performance
Apply when building scroll-scrubbed animations, marquees, continuous SVG/canvas animations, or fixing reports of "laggy", "stuttering", "doesn't render", "disappears and reappears", "jumps". Encodes the perf rules learned from the realtor-website rebuild.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
