## Available Skills

### Animation (7 skills)
- emil-design-eng: The main skill — mostly animation, but also some design advice
- animate: Builds an animation from scratch while choosing the correct curve, duration, properties
- animate-expo: Same bar for React Native and Expo: gestures, sheets, haptics, screen transitions, keeping motion off JS thread
- review-animations: Review your animations in a strict way, based on Emil's rules
- improve-animations: Audit all animations in your codebase and get prioritized, self-contained plans
- find-animation-opportunities: Search your UI for places that would genuinely benefit from motion, while telling you what not to animate
- animation-vocabulary: Get better animations from an AI by telling it exactly what you want using the right words

### Design (3 skills)
- apple-design: Apple's principles for interface design and fluid motion, distilled from WWDC design talks and translated for the web
- pick-ui-library: Have your agent pick the right library for the task based on libraries Emil uses and trusts
- prototype: Build multiple different versions of a UI piece you describe and go through them using a switcher

### Development (2 skills)
- write-swift: Write modern Swift. Includes: value types, Swift 6 concurrency, generics, performance, Swift Testing
- ask-sonner: Guide to working with Sonner (Emil's toast library). Setup, styling, recipes, fixes for common issues

## Core Animation Principles
- Enter animations use ease-out (not ease-in) — objects entering should decelerate
- Use semi-transparent shadows instead of solid borders for UI depth
- Agents don't have great taste — these skills list all the little mistakes agents make and how to fix them
- Small things compound: correct easing, duration, properties make interfaces amazing or just "not that great"
