Goes well with
animate
Builds an animation from scratch, decisions in the order that matters.
Should it animate at all, what purpose, which tool, which properties, which curve and duration, how it interrupts, how it exits. Then writes the implementation.

review-animations
Reviews your motion strictly, against Emil's rules.
A production-critical pass over animation quality, timing and consistency in a diff. Pairs with improve-animations, which does the same for a whole codebase.
npx skills add https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills --skill review-animations
improve-animations
Audits every animation in a codebase and hands back prioritised plans.
Read-only on source. Surveys the motion you already ship and produces self-contained implementation plans any agent can execute, ordered by what actually matters.
