Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by dylantarre on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Exit Animations AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles.git /tmp/animation-principles
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/animation-principles/skills/05-by-animation-type/exit-animations .claude/skills/exit-animations

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Exit Animations in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Exit Animations on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Exit Animations is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Exit Animations

Apply Disney's 12 principles when removing elements from view.

Principle Application

Squash & Stretch: Scale down to 95-98% on exit. Element compresses slightly as it departs.

Anticipation: Brief pause or micro-movement before departure. A 50ms hesitation acknowledges the exit.

Staging: Exit toward logical destinations. Deleted items fall down, dismissed modals shrink to origin, sidebars return to their edge.

Straight Ahead vs Pose-to-Pose: Pose-to-pose with clear visible→invisible states. Plan the exit trajectory.

Follow Through & Overlapping: Content exits before container. Text fades 50ms before the card collapses.

Slow In/Slow Out: Use ease-in for exits. Gentle start, accelerating departure: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1).

Arcs: Exit on curves, not straight lines. Dismissed notifications arc upward-and-out.

Secondary Action: Combine opacity fade with directional movement. Pure fades feel like errors.

Timing:

Exits should be 20-30% faster than entrances
Quick exits: 100-150ms (tooltips, dropdowns)
Standard exits: 150-200ms (modals, toasts)
Graceful exits: 200-300ms (page transitions)

Exaggeration: Scale to 0.9 for dramatic departure, 0.97 for subtle dismissal.

Solid Drawing: Maintain spatial logic. Elements should exit the way they came or toward where they "belong."

Appeal: Exits confirm user intent. Make dismissals feel decisive, not abrupt.

Timing Recommendations

Element Type	Duration	Easing	Notes
Tooltip	100ms	ease-in	Faster than entrance
Dropdown	150ms	ease-in	Collapse upward
Toast	150ms	ease-in	Slide to origin
Modal	200ms	ease-in	Content first, overlay last
Deleted Item	200ms	ease-in	Collapse height after fade
Page	250ms	ease-in	Current page exits, then new enters

Implementation Pattern

css
.exiting {
  animation: exit 200ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1) forwards;
}

@keyframes exit {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0) scale(1);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10px) scale(0.98);
  }
}

Collapse Pattern

For removed list items:

Fade out content (150ms)
Collapse height (150ms, starts at 100ms)
Remove from DOM after animation completes

Total perceived time: 250ms. Always use will-change: opacity, transform for smooth exits.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Exit Animations AI skill do?

Use when elements need to leave the screen - closing modals, dismissing notifications, removing items, page transitions out, or any "leaving view" animation.

Why use Exit Animations on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Exit Animations is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Exit Animations in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles/tree/main/skills/05-by-animation-type/exit-animations. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Exit Animations?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Exit Animations?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Exit Animations with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Exit Animations AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by dylantarre under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
