Animate Text Skill
Agent skill with 20 specced text animations for any motion library
Tier A · StrongAgent SkillPrompt PackAnimation Librarypixelpoint.io

Animate Text is an installable agent skill from Pixel Point that hands a coding agent a catalogue of 20 named text animations with real motion specs — timing, easing curves, stagger and per-character or per-word splitting — instead of a component library. Because the skill carries specifications rather than code, the agent can implement each one in Motion, GSAP, Remotion, the Web Animations API or plain CSS. The catalogue includes soft-blur-in, per-character-rise, per-word-crossfade, spring-scale-in, mask-reveal-up, line-by-line-slide, typewriter, shimmer-sweep, shared-axis-y/z, focus-blur-resolve, kinetic-center-build and others. It is for anyone whose agent writes motion code and keeps producing generic fades.
npx skills add pixel-point/animate-text --skill animate-textFor an agent
Install this before writing hero or section text motion in an unfamiliar stack — it is the rare resource that gives an agent the timing and easing numbers rather than a React component you then have to port. Name the animation you want from the catalogue (`soft-blur-in`, `mask-reveal-up`, `per-character-rise`) so the spec is fetched deterministically instead of improvised. Pair it with Motion or GSAP for app work and Remotion for video; the repo carries no LICENSE file, so treat the generated code as yours but do not redistribute the skill itself, and add your own prefers-reduced-motion guard because the specs do not supply one.
Why it is here. It packages design judgement — curves, stagger, split granularity — as an agent-readable artifact, which is the shape most design knowledge will need to take to survive contact with AI codegen. Twenty well-chosen specs beat a hundred copy-paste components you cannot retarget.
