A collection of agent skills has been released to help coding agents implement UI animations and design details with precision.

Details

Skills for Design Engineers, released by Emil Kowalski, is a collection of Agent Skills designed to correct UI design and animation mistakes that coding agents are prone to making. Rather than simply producing working code, it aims to transplant 'design sense'—the polish of user experience (UX)—into agents.

The project consists of four core skills:

  • emil-design-eng: The central skill embodying design engineering philosophy, covering UI polish, component design, and animation decisions
  • review-animations: A dedicated skill for reviewing the completeness of motion code against high standards (checking easing curves, frame drops, etc.)
  • animation-vocabulary: A reverse dictionary that maps a user's vague descriptions (e.g., 'a bouncy feel') to precise technical terms (e.g., 'Pop in')
  • apple-design: Translates Apple's fluid motion principles into CSS and spring library syntax

Each skill is written in SKILL.md format so that agents can read only the information they need depending on context, and can be easily installed and used via the command npx skills@latest add emilkowalski/skills.
