How to use the Motion Frames agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
Motion Frames is an agent skill that teaches an AI agent to build a single animated hero visual: a banner-style page with moving parts that loop smoothly, such as a rotating ring of text, an abstract globe, a ticking timer and drifting labels. This guide is for people who have never used agent skills before, and it covers what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for it and what to watch out for. By the end you will know how to get a looping hero frame from your agent.

What the Motion Frames skill makes the agent do
An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task matches it. The motion-frames skill is described as a reusable CSS motion combination, and its job is to produce one looping hero frame rather than a static picture.
The layout in the skill has four parts: a rotating type ring built with SVG and transform, an animated globe or abstract geometric shape, a ticking timer set in a monospace font, and floating parallax labels. The design notes call for pure CSS motion that loops smoothly, cinematic colour grading and one neon accent colour.
- Rotating type ring (SVG and transform)
- Animated globe or abstract geometry
- Ticking timer in a monospace font; JavaScript is optional
- Parallax labels that float

Trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Describe the result you want in plain language and mention the kind of output, such as a hero banner, a title card or a poster frame. The agent can match the request to the skill's description, which covers looping CSS motion for hero visuals.
Be specific about the parts you want, for example a rotating ring of text or a ticking timer, and say whether the page is for a landing page or a video.
- Ask for a looping animated hero for a product landing page
- Ask for a title card or video poster frame with moving elements
- Name the parts you want: rotating text ring, globe, timer or floating labels
Examples of what to ask for
The skill's example is a decorative visual, not a working app. Use it to get a starting point you can edit. The bundled example.html file shows the kind of single-page output the skill produces.
- Campaign header: a looping hero for a new product page
- Video intro: a title card that loops behind a voiceover
- Poster frame: a still-looking animated frame exported for thumbnails
What you need and safety notes
The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, so it only produces files for you to review. The output is a web page file, which you can open in a browser or record as a video.
Continuous motion can be distracting or cause problems for some viewers, so it is not suited to accessibility-critical layouts. It is also not suited to print-ready designs or to projects that need real data or interactive features.
- Requirements: none listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Not for static, print-ready or accessibility-critical layouts
- Not for interactive apps or real data
Tips for better results
Give the agent the brand colours and the message the hero should carry, since the design notes favour a cinematic palette with one neon accent. If you plan to record a video, ask for a seamless loop so the start and end frames match.
Review the output in a browser before using it. Because the skill is a starting point, adjust the motion speed and contrast to suit your audience.
- Provide brand colours and the headline text
- Ask for a seamless loop if you will record video
- Check the result in a browser and adjust speed and contrast
What people use it for
- A looping animated header for a product or campaign landing page
- A title card for the opening of a video
- A poster frame for a video thumbnail
- A starting point for CSS-only motion effects that a front-end designer can refine

The skill is published under the Apache-2.0 licence. Check the licence text for the terms that apply to your use.
What can I make with the Motion Frames skill?
You can make a single looping hero visual with a rotating text ring, an animated globe, a ticking timer and floating labels. It suits landing page headers and video title cards or poster frames.
Why is my animation not looping smoothly?
Ask the agent explicitly for a seamless loop so the start and end frames match, then review the page in a browser. The skill is described as a starting point, so small adjustments to timing may be needed.
Is Motion Frames a good alternative to a video editor?
It is not a replacement for a video editor. It produces a single animated web page frame that you can open in a browser or record, which is useful for quick title cards but not for full edited videos.
