## What it does

The skill walks through Disney's 12 animation principles and maps each one onto a fitness or wellness interface. Squash & stretch goes on the workout button, anticipation drives the countdown before a session starts, follow through lets the calorie counter settle after the number lands. A timing table covers the usual actions: button press, ring completion, workout transition, meditation fade, achievement pop — each with a duration and an easing curve.

The core rule is that motion energy should match activity intensity. A workout wants punchy, fast movement; meditation wants slow animation synced to breathing. So the agent won't reuse one easing for both modes. Everything lives in a single `SKILL.md` markdown file — no scripts, no external dependencies.

Six platforms are supported, but each needs its own install command; the Claude one won't work in Cursor, and GitHub Copilot goes through `gh skill install` instead. If your project already has an animation design system, these fixed durations will argue with it, because the skill hands you values rather than asking for yours.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill fitness-wellness -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/fitness-wellness/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill fitness-wellness -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill fitness-wellness -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install dylantarre/animation-principles fitness-wellness
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill fitness-wellness -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles --path skills/08-by-industry/fitness-wellness
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill fitness-wellness -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles/tree/HEAD/skills/08-by-industry/fitness-wellness/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick a duration and easing for the workout start button
- make the activity ring finish with a satisfying close
- use different motion for workout mode and meditation mode
- animate a calorie counter and a streak without jarring jumps
- reveal a personal record in a way people remember

## Example prompts
- Add the activity ring completion animation using the fitness-wellness skill
- What timing should the exercise transition use? Check fitness-wellness
- Apply the fitness-wellness principles to the meditation screen fade

# Fitness & Wellness Animation Principles

Apply Disney's 12 principles to create motivating, energizing experiences that celebrate achievement and support healthy habits.

## The 12 Principles Applied

### 1. Squash & Stretch
- **Workout Buttons**: Energetic squash on tap
- **Progress Rings**: Pulse with achievement
- **Activity Icons**: Bounce with completion

### 2. Anticipation
- **Workout Start**: Countdown builds energy
- **Timer Begin**: Ready-set-go sequence
- **Goal Completion**: Suspenseful approach

### 3. Staging
- **Current Exercise**: Full focus on active movement
- **Stats Display**: Supporting role during workout
- **Rest Periods**: Recovery metrics highlighted

### 4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
- **Live Workouts**: Continuous timer flow (straight ahead)
- **Exercise Sequence**: Move-by-move progression (pose to pose)
- **Meditation Guides**: Defined breathing phases

### 5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
- **Workout Complete**: Badge lands, then stats appear
- **Calorie Counter**: Numbers settle with follow-through
- **Activity Rings**: Animate sequentially with overlap

### 6. Slow In & Slow Out
- **High Energy Moments**: Quick, punchy timing
- **Recovery/Meditation**: Slow, calming easing
- **Transitions**: Match current activity intensity

### 7. Arc
- **Progress Circles**: Smooth arc completion
- **Running Routes**: Curved path visualization
- **Gesture Controls**: Natural arced movements

### 8. Secondary Action
- **Goal Hit**: Fireworks while achievement saves
- **Personal Record**: Crown appears with celebration
- **Streak Maintained**: Fire burns while counter updates

### 9. Timing
- **Intense Moments**: Fast 100-150ms for energy
- **Mindfulness**: Slow 500-700ms for calm
- **Standard UI**: Moderate 200-300ms

### 10. Exaggeration
- **Celebrate Big**: Fitness thrives on motivation
- **Personal Records**: Dramatic achievement reveals
- **Streak Milestones**: Memorable celebrations

### 11. Solid Drawing
- **Body Mechanics**: Accurate movement demonstrations
- **Data Visualization**: Clear, readable metrics
- **Exercise Illustrations**: Proper form representation

### 12. Appeal
- **Motivational Energy**: Uplifting, encouraging motion
- **Dual Modes**: Intensity for workouts, calm for wellness
