## What it is
A collection of AI agent skill files (Markdown) by Emil Kowalski that teach coding agents design and animation best practices for building better user interfaces. Installable via `npx skills add`, it includes skills for building, reviewing, and auditing animations plus general design-engineering guidance.

## Use cases
- make my ai coding agent produce better ui animations
- review and audit animations in my codebase with an agent
- find places in my ui that would benefit from motion
- teach an agent correct easing curves and animation durations
- get apple-style design principles into my ai assistant
- have an agent pick the right ui animation library

## When to choose
- you use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and want better design taste in generated UIs
- you build web or React Native interfaces with animations and want expert-level motion guidance
- you want to audit or improve existing animations across a codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a runtime animation library rather than guidance for AI agents
- your project has nothing to do with UI design or animation
- you want fully automated tooling instead of prompt-based skill files
