Use when animation doesn't match brand personality, feels generic, or clashes with design language

What this skill does


# Brand Consistency

Align animation style with brand identity using Disney's principles.

## Problem Indicators
- Animation feels "off-brand"
- Generic motion that could be any product
- Inconsistent animation styles across features
- Motion conflicts with brand voice
- Users don't recognize the product's personality

## Diagnosis by Principle

### Appeal
**Issue**: Animation lacks distinctive character
**Fix**: Define brand motion attributes. Is your brand playful (bouncy easing), professional (smooth, minimal), energetic (quick, snappy)?

### Exaggeration
**Issue**: Wrong level of drama for brand
**Fix**: Match exaggeration to brand personality. Luxury = subtle. Playful = bouncy. Corporate = restrained.

### Timing
**Issue**: Speed doesn't match brand energy
**Fix**: Fast brands: 100-200ms. Calm brands: 300-500ms. Define a timing scale and use consistently.

### Squash and Stretch
**Issue**: Elastic effects conflict with serious brand
**Fix**: Reserve squash/stretch for playful brands. Use scale transforms for professional brands.

### Secondary Action
**Issue**: Details don't reinforce brand
**Fix**: Secondary actions should amplify brand personality. A fun brand might have playful ripples; a serious brand uses subtle fades.

## Quick Fixes

1. **Create a motion style guide** - Document easing, duration, principles used
2. **Define 3-5 brand motion words** - "Swift, precise, confident"
3. **Build reusable animation tokens** - Consistent timing/easing variables
4. **Audit existing animations** - Find outliers
5. **Create animation components** - Enforce consistency through code

## Troubleshooting Checklist

- [ ] Can you describe animation in 3 brand words?
- [ ] Does motion match brand voice guidelines?
- [ ] Are easing curves consistent across features?
- [ ] Is timing scale documented and followed?
- [ ] Would a competitor use identical animation?
- [ ] Do animations feel like the same product?
- [ ] Test: Show animation without UI—recognizable as your brand?
- [ ] Review with brand/design team

## Code Pattern

```css
:root {
  /* Brand motion tokens */
  --brand-ease-default: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
  --brand-ease-enter: cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1);
  --brand-ease-exit: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1);
  --brand-duration-fast: 150ms;
  --brand-duration-normal: 250ms;
  --brand-duration-slow: 400ms;
}
```

rpg-migration-analyzer

Included

Analyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.

brand-library-architect

Included

Build a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.

writing-tech-post

Included

Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
