analyze.py compiles cleanly and correctly gates on a GEMINI_API_KEY; ffmpeg is present but google-genai and playwright are not installed, and the Gemini video analysis needs a paid key, so the actual output could not be measured against a no-skill baseline. SKILL.md is unusually honest: it frames Gemini's frame descriptions as observational evidence and its root-cause theories as unverified hypotheses, with an explicit FPS/temporal-precision table per mode. Scored setup rather than pass because the delta is unmeasured, not because anything failed.
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 5/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Animation Review does
Records web animations via Playwright and sends the video to Gemini for frame-level analysis across check/review/diagnose/inspire modes. Triggers when reviewing UI animation timing, feel, glitches, or decomposing a reference effect. Requires a Gemini API key plus ffmpeg, playwright and google-genai.
How to install Animation Review
git clone https://github.com/jaaaaaaaaaaack/custom-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cd custom-skills && cp -r animation-review ~/.claude/skills/animation-review
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Animation Review
-
/animation-reviewRecord a browser animation and get frame-level analysis from Gemini for timing and jank
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Record this button hover animation and tell me if it's janky -

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Animation Review skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from jaaaaaaaaaaack/custom-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Animation Review work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 17, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. analyze.py compiles cleanly and correctly gates on a GEMINI_API_KEY; ffmpeg is present but google-genai and playwright are not installed, and the Gemini video analysis needs a paid key, so the actual output could not be measured against a no-skill baseline. SKILL.md is unusually honest: it frames Gemini's frame descriptions as observational evidence and its root-cause theories as unverified hypotheses, with an explicit FPS/temporal-precision table per mode.

- What is the Animation Review SkillProof Score?
- 8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Animation Review?
- 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 Review 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.
