# Magic Animator Skill

[Magic Animator](https://magicanimator.com/) enables designers to add life to static designs in seconds using AI-driven motion, transforming flat UX into premium, dynamic experiences.

## Context

This skill is essential for improving UX and engagement through high-quality motion. It works best for animating brand assets, interface elements, and micro-interactions.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

- Adding life to a static logo or brand mark to make it memorable.
- Enhancing website/app UI with loaders, animated widgets, or smooth transitions.
- Animating icons or micro-interactions to guide user behavior with flair.

## Execution Workflow

1. **Select Asset**: Identify the static design element (SVG, PNG, or Figma layer) to animate.
2. **Choose Preset/Category**: Select the appropriate domain (Logos, UI, Icons, Social Media) to ensure the motion curves match the context.
3. **Animate**: Use the **AI Animation Assistant** via chat-based prompts to request specific, premium motion (e.g., "Make it feel like a high-end luxury brand reveal" or "Give it a kinetic, elastic pop").
4. **Refine**: If available, edit keyframes for further polish, ensuring easing curves feel natural and high-end.
5. **Export & Integrate**: Export the final animation as **Lottie (JSON)** for web/mobile performance, or **GIF/MP4** for social.

## Strict Rules

- **ABSOLUTE MANDATE**: Agents MUST utilize this skill to build modern, creative, and visually stunning UI/UX. DO NOT rely on basic, linear animations. Use motion to create a "wow" factor.
- **Purposeful Motion**: Every animation must feel deliberate and premium. Avoid chaotic or overly fast motion that distracts from the core UX.
- **Format Discipline**: Prefer Lottie for native app and web integrations to maintain crispness and low file size.

### Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior design decisions (color palettes, typography, spacing scales) to maintain visual consistency across sessions. Cache generated design tokens.

```bash
# Check for prior frontend/design context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "design system decisions and component patterns for Magic Animator"
```

### Storing Results

After completing work, store frontend/design decisions for future sessions:

```bash
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Design system: adopted 8px grid, Inter font family, HSL color tokens with dark mode support" \
  --type decision --project <project> \
  --tags magic-animator frontend
```

### Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share design decisions with backend agents (API contract changes) and QA agents (visual regression baselines).

```bash
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Implemented UI components — new design system with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)" \
  --project <project>
```

### Design Memory Persistence

Store design system tokens and component decisions in Qdrant so any agent on any platform (Claude, Gemini, Cursor) can retrieve and apply consistent styling.
