animation-vocabulary maps vague descriptions of web motion effects to precise technical terms via a curated glossary. users describe what they see, receive the matching animation name and definition, with disambiguation for close alternates.

prototype builds multiple genuinely different ui directions for a component, renders them behind a visual picker, and lets you flip through to choose a winner. each variant explores a distinct axis of divergence and meets high execution standards.

review-animations enforces animated motion against a principled craft bar derived from emil kowalski's design philosophy. defaults to flagging approval. scoped to motion code only, declines general reviews.

find-animation-opportunities searches a codebase or ui to identify moments genuinely suited for motion, rejecting candidates that lack merit. proposes precise animation recipes with exact values, capped output, ordered by leverage. read-only; passes all suggestions through a restraint-focused gate before surfacing.

emil-design-eng encodes a craft-focused design philosophy centered on animation decisions, component patterns, gesture principles, and the unseen details that compound into interfaces that feel intentional.

review-animations evaluates motion code against a proprietary design standard derived from Emil Kowalski's philosophy. enforces non-negotiable principles like justified motion and frequency-appropriate timing, escalates violations, and defaults to rejection.

apple-design distills apple's fluid interface principles (momentum, spring physics, interruptibility) for web implementation via css, pointer events, and animation libraries. covers latency elimination and velocity-aware motion.

Pick the right library for a given frontend task from a curated, opinionated list — numbers, OTP inputs, charts, command menus, virtualization, drag and drop,…

Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other…

This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.
