Is the Animate Text skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from sakuraoxo-clio/sakura-animate-text. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Animate Text SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Animate Text?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Animate Text with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 6fbdc4b

Actually ran the bundled scripts live: `node scripts/get-effect.mjs soft-blur-in` returned a fully specified reproduction contract (900ms/25ms-stagger per-character enter, exact cubic-bezier easing, GSAP-specific CustomEase registration and a warning against a documented double-duration bug) versus a baseline guess with arbitrary duration/easing — night-and-day difference for anyone implementing the effect for real.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Animate Text does

Ships portable motion contracts and exact animation-reproduction recipes (easing curves, durations, stagger, per-library adapter code shapes) for 24 named text effects like soft-blur-in, typewriter, and kinetic-center-build, plus optional Node scripts to look them up. Triggers when a user names an effect id or asks to animate headings, labels, counters, or text swaps in a specific animation stack.

How to install Animate Text

git clone https://github.com/sakuraoxo-clio/sakura-animate-text.git

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Animate Text

/animate-text 24-effect text-animation catalog with exact JSON specs, translatable into GSAP, Motion, WAAPI, CSS, Lottie or Rive.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Give me the exact GSAP code for a soft-blur-in text entrance effect
I need a typewriter animation spec for my headline, done in CSS
Show me the kinetic-center-build effect recipe translated for Motion
