- Free
- Needs

- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
A reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation into its exact term: "the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding. It holds a curated vocabulary of entrances and exits, sequencing, transforms, state transitions, scroll effects, interaction feedback, easing, springs, looping motion, polish effects, performance terms, and guiding principles — quoted verbatim from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy, with disambiguation between close terms (Clip-path vs Mask, Pop in vs Bounce). It names the effect; it does not design or build it. Discovered via skills.sh. Honest note: intentionally narrow — for "what's it called when…?" questions so you can prompt an AI or a designer with the right word, not a design course. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: none beyond standard skill tooling — no external services or APIs. You bring a loose description of a motion effect. Install "Animation Vocabulary Skill for Muse" for me. Reverse-lookup glossary for web animation terms: describe an effect in plain words and get its exact name ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in), with close-term disambiguation from Emil Kowalski's animation philosophy. Repository: https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code; credentials only via the secure vault. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "animation-vocabulary". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. describe the motion effect I'm trying to name). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
