css-animation-skill

Generates self-contained HTML/CSS animations of app features for walkthroughs, demos, and onboarding.

Requires Claude-in-Chrome MCP.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Css Animation Skill 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.
https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/css-animation-skill
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

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/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/css-animation-skill .claude/skills/css-animation-skill

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Css Animation Skill 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 Css Animation Skill 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 Css Animation Skill 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.

Catalogue stub — full skill: neonwatty/css-animation-skill

Decision tree

Is the full skill already installed? Upstream names this skill css-animation, so it installs next to this pointer (the pointer is not replaced).
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/css-animation/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/css-animation/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as css-animation, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/css-animation-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add neonwatty/css-animation-skill --skill css-animation -g -y

Project:

bash
npx skills add neonwatty/css-animation-skill --skill css-animation -y

Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Heads-up

Trigger phrases: "CSS animation", "custom animation", "animation from live app", "css-animation-skill"

What it does

Runs a four-phase animation creation workflow: (1) researches your live app using Claude-in-Chrome MCP to extract the existing design language (colours, fonts, spacing) and layout geometry; (2) interviews you about what feature to animate, the style (feature demo or multi-screen carousel) and the key payoff moment; (3) produces an animation brief and a self-contained HTML/CSS output file with the custom animation; (4) runs a freeze-inspect-feedback review loop until the result is approved. Produces bespoke animations matched to your app's visual identity rather than off-the-shelf library classes.

When NOT to use

Library-based animations where custom keyframes aren't needed (use animate-css-skill or framer-motion-skills)
Video or Lottie output (use wiggle-claude-skill)

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Css Animation Skill AI skill do?

Why use Css Animation Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Css Animation Skill 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 Css Animation Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/css-animation-skill. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Css Animation Skill?

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 Css Animation Skill?

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

Is the Css Animation Skill AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo 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.
