Character Animation QA

Use this skill before presenting a character-animation preview or final render.

Review Layers

Schema validation: character design, rig plan, pose library, action timeline.
Static asset checks: referenced parts and backgrounds exist.
Browser preview: load the preview, capture screenshots, collect console errors.
Motion check: compare sampled frames for non-trivial differences.
Final MP4 check: ffprobe metadata, duration, resolution, audio, frame samples.
Agent visual review: inspect sampled frames for detached limbs, bad layers, off-frame characters, unreadable expressions, broken text.

Playwright Pattern

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage({ viewport: { width: 1280, height: 720 } });
await page.goto(previewUrl, { waitUntil: "networkidle" });
await page.screenshot({ path: "preview.png" });

Pass/Revise/Fail

pass: technical checks pass, acting is readable.
revise: fixable rig/timeline issue.
fail: missing assets, blank render, runtime failure, or wrong runtime.

fframes-video
Create, animate, review and render videos in code with fframes (Rust, SVG scenes, ffmpeg encoding, Skia GPU rendering). Use whenever the user wants a video, animation, motion graphic, explainer, promo, social clip, title card, podcast visual, lyric/caption video or any rendered .mp4/.webm made programmatically, or asks to change, fix, speed up or check an fframes video. Covers installing fframes, creating a project, designing good-looking motion, sound (music, voice, SFX, loudness), watching it in a real-time preview window, and checking the result without watching it: frames and contact sheets as PNG, automatic problem detection, loudness numbers, fast draft and range renders.

animation-performance
Keep web animations inside the frame budget — animate composite-only properties, keep motion off the main thread when the page is busy, and find the cause when an animation drops frames. Covers the layout/paint/composite pipeline, cheaper property swaps, CSS vs WAAPI vs requestAnimationFrame, Framer Motion's hardware-accelerated path, React re-rendering per frame, inherited CSS variable recalculation, blur cost, and when `will-change` actually helps. Use when an animation is janky, choppy, stutters, or drops frames; when choosing which property to animate; when deciding between CSS and JS animation on performance grounds; or when reaching for `will-change` or GPU layers. For choosing easing, duration, or whether to animate at all use animate; for reviewing motion as a whole use review-animations.
