Agent skill

verification-before-completion

Jesse Vincent

Fires the moment the agent is about to say something is done, fixed or passing. It has to run the verification and read the output first. If you have ever been told the build is green when it is not, this is the skill for that.

    The design-engineering house style behind Sonner and Vaul.

    Emil KowalskiMotionCraft

    Emil's main skill. Mostly animation, with the UI-polish and component judgement that surrounds it: what to build, how far to push it, and when to stop.

    Reviews your motion strictly, against Emil's rules.

    Emil KowalskiMotionReview

    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.

  • improve-animations

    Audits every animation in a codebase and hands back prioritised plans.
