2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 3 stars3 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Audits a repo, route, screen, or 3D scene for motion quality, covering design-token consistency, frame-rate and draw-call risk, reduced-motion coverage, and accessibility. Use to audit, critique, or find motion gaps. Returns a prioritized punch list rather than implementing fixes.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Design Motion Audit
Audit the target surface (a repo, route, screen, component, or 3D scene) for
motion quality and implementation safety, and return a prioritized punch list
with exact files, severity, reasoning, and concrete fixes. This skill diagnoses;
it routes implementation to the owning skill (expo-motion, web-three-r3f
for R3F setup and correctness, r3f-scene-polish for look-dev, or gsap). Token and motion-system work is handled here via
references/design-system-tokens.md and scripts/scaffold_motion_tokens.py.
How to run
-
Optionally run the static analyzers to gather leads (treat findings as leads, verify each against the real code before reporting):
python3 scripts/detect_motion_stack.py <project-root> --pretty # what stacks/files exist python3 scripts/audit_motion_system.py <project-root> --pretty # heuristic motion-quality scan -
Read the flagged files and judge against the dimensions below.
-
Return the punch list, most-severe first.
Audit dimensions
- Design tokens & consistency — hardcoded durations/easings/springs vs
tokenized values; naming by intent. (
references/motion-vocabulary.md) - R3F / three.js / WebGL —
setStateinuseFrame, missing delta-time, per-frame allocations, disposal, DPR, shadows, postprocessing budget. - Reanimated / Expo / gestures — JS-thread per-frame work, deprecated
runOnJS/runOnUI, worklet misuse, interruptibility, layout-vs-transform. - Interaction physicality — velocity-aware release, cancellation-safety.
- Performance risk — frame budget, draw calls, texture/asset weight, blur.
(
references/performance-accessibility.md) - Reduced-motion coverage — every camera move, parallax, loop, and bounce has a reduced-motion branch that preserves functional feedback.
- Accessibility & readability — text legibility during motion.
- Missing hallmark opportunities — where a signature motion would add value.
Score against references/quality-gates.md, and shape the output with
references/report-template.md. For any change with a visible motion surface, add
runtime proof (references/runtime-verification.md) — static findings alone do
not prove a scene renders or holds its frame budget; the motion-runtime-verifier
subagent (design-motion plugin) drives that when the browser tools are available.
For deep implementation fixes, hand each finding to the skill that owns its stack.
