   - Cursor → `npx skills add LottieFiles/motion-design-skill`
   - Other → `npx skills add LottieFiles/motion-design-skill` or see [GitHub README](https://github.com/lottiefiles/motion-design-skill)

## What it does

Official LottieFiles motion design principles skill. Covers timing curves, easing functions, animation choreography, and Disney's 12 classic animation principles adapted for UI contexts. Helps agents reason about when to animate, how to choose easing, how to sequence compound animations, and how to balance energy and weight in motion. Implementation-agnostic — the guidance applies equally to CSS transitions, GSAP, Framer Motion, Lottie, or any other animation toolchain. Supports 40+ AI coding agents.

## When NOT to use

- GLSL/shader-level animation (use `shader-dev`)
- Specific framework implementation (use `gsap-skills` or `framer-motion-skills`)
