Ran the bundled contact-sheet script for real on 8 synthetic frames with one injected color/position glitch: the baseline eyeballed the filenames and approved the animation outright, while following the skill caught the glitch by actually inspecting the sheet - though the script's own auto-warning (threshold mean_rgb_diff>45) stayed silent on a real 5x diff spike (13.7 vs 2.76 baseline), so the catch came from the review checklist, not the automation.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Animation Quality Gate does
Reviews rendered animation frames against 7 dimensions (subject dominance, layer separation, silhouette stability, texture coherence, motion coherence, export truth, frame aesthetics) before accepting an animation pass, using a bundled script to build a contact sheet and frame-to-frame diff report. Triggers after animation renders or when the user says a morph/motion/outside element looks bad; not for pure modeling or export tasks.

Commands — how to trigger Animation Quality Gate
-
/animation-quality-gateRejects Blender animation renders that only look done, using a real contact-sheet + frame-diff script plus a 7-point review checklist.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Check these rendered frames for any silhouette or color glitches -
Is this Blender animation actually done, or does it just look done? -
Build a contact sheet and review my render for motion coherence
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Animation Quality Gate skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from RobLe3/cc-blender-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Animation Quality Gate work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran the bundled contact-sheet script for real on 8 synthetic frames with one injected color/position glitch: the baseline eyeballed the filenames and approved the animation outright, while following the skill caught the glitch by actually inspecting the sheet - though the script's own auto-warning (threshold mean_rgb_diff>45) stayed silent on a real 5x diff spike (13.7 vs 2.76 baseline), so the catch came from the review checklist, not the automation.
- What is the Animation Quality Gate SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Animation Quality Gate?
- 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 Animation Quality Gate 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.
