Who it is forA mobile developer whose app feels sluggish or busy and who wants a clear motion audit before changing code.
The problemAnimations often accumulate without purpose, run on the wrong thread, or ignore the finger's velocity, which makes the app feel unpolished.
The outcomeA written motion review listing what to delete, what is on the wrong thread, and what is missing velocity, with a fix plan.
What you need first
- An MCP-capable agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex
- An Appllama account with Pro, since MCP access is part of Pro
- An Expo / React Native project and a simulator for the build loop
Steps
- Run
npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills --skill appllama-app-design-skillfrom your project root. - Point your agent at the Expo / React Native project folder you want reviewed.
- Ask the agent to audit each animation against the motion bar: should it animate, is it on the JS thread, and does it carry velocity.
- Ask for a prioritized fix plan with one entry per animation.
- Run the simulator loop on the changed flows to confirm the motion reads correctly frame by frame.
Prompt for your agent
Using the appllama/appllama-skills repo, review the animations in <project folder> against the motion bar in appllama-app-design-skill. Output a fix plan that lists what to delete, what runs on the wrong thread, and what lacks finger velocity, and verify the plan's changes in the simulator recording.
Caveat. The motion audit works from the design skill alone, so you can run it without the Appllama MCP, though the README says the skill is sharper with the MCP connected.
