Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install animation-build-sequence

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent first decides whether the element should animate at all, based on how often it is used and what it is for. It then picks the simplest tool, the properties, the curve and the duration from fixed values, and plans interruption, exit and reduced motion. You get animation code that stays out of the way, with a short note on the choices made.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the agent first reply with a single sentence?

The skill defines that greeting when invoked with no question. Then make your request as usual.

The skill mentions other skills (review-animations, pick-ui-library). Do I need them?

No. They are plain pointers. Building works with the files in this folder alone.
