Agent skill
team-motion-design
Unified team skill for motion design. Animation token systems, scroll choreography, GPU-accelerated transforms, reduced-motion fallback. Uses team-worker agent architecture. Triggers on "team motion design", "animation system".

Team Motion Design
Systematic motion design pipeline: research -> choreography -> animation -> performance testing. Built on team-worker agent architecture -- all worker roles share a single agent definition with role-specific Phase 2-4 loaded from roles/<role>/role.md.

Delegation Lock
Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.
Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.
No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Worker Spawn Template
Coordinator spawns workers using this template:
spawn_agent({
agent_type: "team_worker",
task_name: "<task-id>",
fork_context: false,
items: [
{ type: "text", text: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>
Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.` },
{ type: "text", text: `## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>` },
{ type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
<prev_context>` }
]
})
After spawning, use wait_agent({ targets: [...], timeout_ms: 900000 }) to collect results, then close_agent({ target }) each worker.
Model Selection Guide
Motion design is a performance-critical pipeline where research informs choreography decisions and animations must pass strict GPU performance gates. Researcher needs thorough profiling, animator needs creative implementation with inner loop capability.
| Role | reasoning_effort | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| motion-researcher | high | Deep performance profiling and animation audit across codebase |
| choreographer | high | Creative token system design and scroll choreography sequencing |
| animator | high | Complex CSS/JS animation implementation with compositor constraints |
| motion-tester | medium | Performance validation follows defined test criteria and scoring |
Research-to-Choreography Context Flow
Researcher findings must reach choreographer via coordinator's upstream context:
// After MRESEARCH-001 completes, coordinator sends findings to choreographer
spawn_agent({
agent_type: "team_worker",
task_name: "CHOREO-001",
fork_context: false,
items: [
...,
{ type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
Research findings: <session>/research/animation-inventory.json
Performance baseline: <session>/research/performance-baseline.json
Easing catalog: <session>/research/easing-catalog.json` }
]
})

v4 Agent Coordination
Message Semantics
| Intent | API | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Queue supplementary info (don't interrupt) | send_message |
Send research findings to running choreographer |
| Assign implementation from reviewed specs | assign_task |
Assign ANIM task after choreography passes |
| Check running agents | list_agents |
Verify agent health during resume |
Agent Health Check
Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:
// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with tasks.json active_agents
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending
Named Agent Targeting
Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:
send_message({ target: "CHOREO-001", items: [...] })-- send additional research findings to choreographerassign_task({ target: "ANIM-001", items: [...] })-- assign animation from reviewed choreography specsclose_agent({ target: "MTEST-001" })-- cleanup after performance test
Error Handling
| Scenario | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Unknown command | Error with available command list |
| Role not found | Error with role registry |
| Session corruption | Attempt recovery, fallback to manual |
| Fast-advance conflict | Coordinator reconciles on next callback |
| Completion action fails | Default to Keep Active |
| GC loop stuck > 2 rounds | Escalate to user: accept / retry / terminate |
