[Emil Kowalski](https://x.com/emilkowalski)'s [skills repo](https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills) just passed 50,000 stars and 2.7 million downloads. It's a set of agent skills for designers and engineers, mostly about motion: when to animate, reviewing animations, finding spots that could use one, keeping them fast. There's also Apple design, native mobile and prototyping in there.

There are some really neat skills in there that I use pretty often.

It also shows up in [Sree's stack](https://savi.fyi/notes/sreestack). His animate, ui-design, SwiftUI and UIKit skills all draw on Emil's.

Below, his 15 skills as a brain: what each one does, which skills point to which, and the libraries they teach. Click a dot to walk it. Under that, five everyday bits of UI built two ways. The ones on the right follow his skills. Try each pair.
