Use for text-to-Lottie, SVG/logo/type animation, loaders/icons, state feedback, UI microinteractions, lower thirds, diagrams, data/stat/chart animations, product promos, scene/camera motion, visual effects, scene edits, slots/controls, and Skottie debugging.

# Text To Lottie

Author production-ready Lottie JSON for the official local Skia Skottie player.
The deliverable is a renderable scene in the player, not isolated JSON.

## Operating Model

- Use the official player project and verify in Skia Skottie. Do not hand-roll a
  custom viewer or switch renderers for verification.
- Keep the skill portable across Agent Skills clients. Avoid host-specific
  commands, command modes, or orchestration conventions in skill instructions.
- Prefer fewer questions and stronger defaults. Ask only when a decision changes
  the output materially, such as transparent vs full-frame background, brand
  constraints, target format, or supplied source assets.
- Prioritize clean, intentional, professional motion over merely satisfying the
  literal prompt.

## Reference Loading

This `SKILL.md` is the thin control plane. Load only one-level references that
match the task. Do not open the whole reference library.

Always read `references/player-contract.md` before creating, editing, fixing, or
verifying a scene. If a routed reference is unavailable, continue using the
inline rules in this file.

| User intent | References to read when present |
| --- | --- |
| Any new/edit/fix Lottie scene | `references/player-contract.md` |
| JSON structure, keyframes, slots, shapes, assets | `references/lottie-spec-map.md` |
| Logo animation | `references/recipe-logo.md`, `references/motion-taste.md`, `references/design-taste.md` |
| Typography, title, quote, text reveal | `references/recipe-typography.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Lower third, name tag, caption bar, overlay | `references/recipe-lower-thirds.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Loader, icon, spinner, badge animation | `references/recipe-loaders-icons.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Success, error, warning, completion, empty state | `references/recipe-loaders-icons.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| UI microinteraction | `references/recipe-ui-microinteractions.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Generic "animate this SVG" or SVG-to-Lottie | `references/recipe-svg-animation.md`, `references/svg-compatibility.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Camera follow, pan, zoom, parallax, scene motion | `references/recipe-camera-scene-motion.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Diagram, technical line animation, callout, flow trace | `references/recipe-diagram-technical.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Data, stats, KPIs, charts, metrics, dashboard figures | `references/recipe-data-stats.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Product launch, feature announcement, social promo | `references/recipe-product-promo.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Long text, multiple ideas, list/features/steps, timeline, before/after, problem/solution, quote+proof, recap/story, product walkthrough, multi-language variations, chapters, multi-beat sequence, episode, jump/hard cuts, transition grammar | `references/chapterization-transition-grammar.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Glow, glass, metal, gradient, fill, bubble/burst effects | `references/recipe-visual-effects.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| SVG input inside logo/icon/UI/lower-third work | The task recipe plus `references/svg-compatibility.md` |
| Starter brief or reusable project direction | `references/recipe-starter-projects.md`, `references/design-taste.md`, `references/motion-taste.md` |
| Any "premium", "clean", "minimal", "modern", "sleek", or "polished" qualifier | `references/design-taste.md` (restraint defaults), plus the routed recipe |

For mixed prompts, choose one primary recipe from the main deliverable, then add
secondary references for source format or visual treatment. Examples: SVG logo
with glow uses logo as primary plus SVG compatibility and visual effects;
product launch with pan/zoom uses product promo plus camera scene motion;
technical SVG diagram tracing uses diagram/technical plus SVG compatibility;
kinetic title with glass sweep uses typography plus visual effects.

## Workflow

1. Route the task using the table above. Read only the relevant references that
   exist.
2. Locate the official player project and resolve the target scene using the
   target precedence below. Before editing, verify the resolved path is
   `public/projects/<project>/<scene-N>/lottie.json`; re-read that current file
   immediately before overwriting because the UI can write slot edits back to
   source.
3. Decide the background policy before authoring.
4. Write or update `public/projects/<project>/<scene-N>/lottie.json` and, when
   useful, `controls.json`.
5. Validate JSON, run or reuse the dev server, inspect exact frames with
   `?frame=N`, and fix render/design/motion issues before finishing.

## Inline Rules

### Design Defaults (always apply)

These few defaults are non-negotiable and apply to every designed scene. Load
`references/design-taste.md` for the full reasoning, especially for any
"premium", "clean", "minimal", "modern", or "card" prompt.

- Premium means subtract, not add. When a prompt says premium, clean, minimal,
  modern, sleek, or sophisticated, default to restraint: remove chrome before
  adding it. Premium is carried by scale, weight, brightness, spacing, and
  timing, never by cards, borders, dividers, shadows, glow, or stacked tints.
- Chrome/container budget is `0` b
