Native Animations — mthines — AI skill

When to use it

Provide the interaction, React Native/Expo versions and animation stack. Useful for swipe gestures, interruptible motion, list transitions and diagnosing animation jank. More focused than a general mobile design guide: it selects native animation APIs and threading patterns. Requires compatible native dependencies and device/release-build verification. Performance targets are goals, not guarantees; check version-dependent Reanimated, Moti and worklet APIs. Brainstorming references the sibling animations skill. Upstream reviewed only; not installed or runtime-tested. GitHub stars are repository-wide, not skill-specific.

Installation

For a single skill in Claude Code, follow the upstream single-skill installation pattern: npx skills add https://github.com/mthines/agent-skills --skill animations-native --agent claude-code --yes. Invoke /animations-native. Keep the skill folder and its rules, references and templates together. The upstream README also documents full-repository installation; some workflows reference companion skills.

Review the source and instructions before installing in your agent.

Pair this skill with a visual reference

A skill guides how your agent works; a design reference shows the direction you want. Choose an example for a specific job, such as the headline hierarchy or form layout, and keep your project's existing design rules explicit.

Start with design references you can inspect, then use our guide to briefing an AI coding agent to turn observations into requirements. If you need implementation components, compare UI libraries for your stack.
