What does review-animations do?
review-animations is a skill that audits motion code against ten standards from Emil Kowalski's animation approach and starts from the view that problems exist. It runs only when you call it by name, and it declines general code review. It flags transition: all, entrances from scale(0), ease-in on UI, durations above 300ms, centered transform-origin on popovers, keyframes on toasts, layout-property animation and missing reduced-motion handling. Fixes follow a ranked order that starts with deleting the animation. Output is a Before, After, Why table with file:line citations, then findings grouped by impact and a final Block or Approve.
When should you use review-animations?
Use it when
- You want animation changes in a diff checked before merge
- Your transitions feel sluggish and you can't say why
- You want a clear Block or Approve on motion code
Skip it when
- You need a review of non-motion code
- You want new animations written for you
