Motion Site Builder
Design, review, and improve motion-driven interfaces with AI.
Generate new sites or refine existing UI through profile-aware building, strict motion review, whole-codebase audits, executable improvement plans, and a deterministic 20-rule linter.

Motion Site Builder landing page — built and linted by its own skill
This landing page (site/) was built from its own prompt — a cinematic shell whose hero embeds a live five-language stage — and scores 100/A+ on every file with the bundled motion linter.
What You Can Do
| Job | Start with | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Build new UI | A brand brief, page idea, or existing reference prompt | Working React/Vite/Tailwind code or a portable one-shot prompt |
| Review a change | A diff or motion-bearing component | Profile-aware findings, exact Before/After values, and a Block/Approve verdict |
| Improve an existing app | A codebase that feels sluggish, generic, or inconsistent | Prioritized audit → self-contained plans → optional execute → reviewed implementation |
| Validate and tune | Existing CSS/JSX/TSX/HTML or an in-progress design decision | Score/grade plus exact tokens, easing, duration, pattern, and reusable primitives |
The suite is deliberately split by responsibility: motion-site-builder builds, review-motion judges a change, and improve-motion surveys a codebase and plans the highest-leverage fixes. They share the same profile configs, 20-rule linter, and motion standards.
✨ What's Inside
| 🎬 Prompt Library | 54 original prompts (cinematic heroes, dashboards, docs, storefronts, campaigns) ready to paste into Bolt, Lovable, v0, or Cursor — including our own landing page, two 100/A+ exemplars per non-cinematic profile, and a 20-concept Vietnam landscape collection with Pexels source pages and local-download targets. No brand replicas or hotlinked third-party assets. |
| 🤖 Agent Skills (×3) | motion-site-builder: 15-step Plan → Build → Validate workflow. review-motion: mechanical lint + senior judgment → Before/After + Block/Approve. improve-motion: recon → 8-category audit → prioritized, executable plans → execute / reconcile. |
| ✅ Motion Linter | Run it on generated or existing code. 20 profile-aware rules catch missing reduced-motion, layout-property animation, easing drift, video hygiene, accent misuse, ease-in UI, scale(0), wrong popover origin, missing press feedback, ungated hover motion, animated focus rings, overflow-x: hidden root masking, and z-index escape hatches. Returns findings, score, and grade. |
| 🔌 MCP Server | 8 zero-dependency tools expose five profiles, full tokens, 24 verbatim primitives, profile-specific pattern suggestions, easing/duration rationale, corpus retrieval, and inline/file validation. |
🚀 Quick Start
Path 1 — Copy a production prompt (30 seconds)
- Browse the prompt catalog and open a prompt close to your idea.
- Copy the whole file into Bolt / Lovable / v0 / Cursor.
- Personalize the explicitly marked values: brand/copy, palette within that profile's accent budget, and licensed local media or placeholders. Keep the motion and accessibility constraints intact.
Path 2 — Install the full agent suite
With the skills CLI (works for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and friends — re-run any time to update):
npx skills add olbboy/motion-site-builder --all
# review-motion/improve-motion share the builder engine; install it alongside either method skill:
npx skills add olbboy/motion-site-builder --skill motion-site-builder review-motion
In Claude Code you can also install via the plugin marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add olbboy/motion-site-builder
Or, to hack on the skills themselves, clone and symlink (Claude Code shown):
git clone https://github.com/olbboy/motion-site-builder
cd motion-site-builder
for s in motion-site-builder review-motion improve-motion; do
ln -s "$(pwd)/skills/$s" ~/.claude/skills/$s
done
For another agent runtime, copy or link the same three directories using that runtime's SKILL.md discovery convention.
Use the skill that matches the job:
"Build a product-ui billing dashboard and return working code."
"Review the motion in this diff and give me a Block/Approve verdict."
"Audit this app with improve-motion deep; prioritize fixes by impact / effort."
"Execute plans/001-fix-dropdown-origin.md, then review the diff."
improve-motion is read-only during recon/audit: it writes implementation plans, not source changes. execute <plan> is the explicit implementation path; it dispatches an executor and reviews the resulting diff with the review-motion bar.
Path 3 — Enable the MCP tools (optional, zero deps)
{
"mcpServers": {
"motion-site-tools": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["<repo>/skills/motion-site-builder/scripts/server.py"]
}
}
}
You get motion_list_profiles, motion_validate, motion_get_tokens, motion_get_template, motion_suggest_pattern, motion_easing_rationale, motion_find_reference, motion_validate_file. Every taste-bearing tool takes an optional profile arg.
🧠 How It Works
Most AI-generated sites look generic—and existing products often feel inconsistent—because motion decisions are left to chance. This repo turns taste into two deterministic workflows:
New brief → Profile → Plan → Adapt nearest of 54 → Build → Lint → Runtime smoke
Existing UI → Recon → Audit → Prioritized plans → Execute → Review → Validate
Changed diff → Profile-aware lint + judgment → Block / Approve
- Retrieval over generation — the skill finds the closest existing prompt and adapts values instead of hallucinating structure.
- Verbatim primitives — signature CSS (
liquid-glass,text-glow, seamless video crossfade, rAF+lerp parallax) is pasted exactly, never paraphrased. - Deterministic quality gate — the linter scores every file 0–100; errors block, warnings advise.
- Judgment after lint — review and audit add frequency, interruptibility, cohesion, and missed-opportunity analysis that regex cannot see.
- Plans before mutation — whole-codebase improvement is scoped and reviewable before an executor touches source.
- Build accountability — the builder scans an existing project before touching it, previews its picks before writing code, self-critiques on six axes before emitting, then stamps the output (
/* motion-site · … */) and appends.motion-site/log.jsonso the next build must differ — repeat briefs diverge instead of converging on one template.
🎨 The Design DNA — five profiles
The engine ships five design languages — pick one, and the linter + tools enforce that taste (motion_list_profiles, then a profile arg). Full guide: design-profiles.md.
| Profile | For | Signature |
|---|---|---|
| cinematic (default) | hero, landing, launch | video-first, glass, serif, 1 accent, entrances 0.5–1.2s |
| product-ui | dashboard, SaaS, admin | crisp, fast (<250ms), light+dark, semantic multi-accent |
| editorial | blog, docs, articles | typography-first, prose, restrained motion |
| playful | consumer, creative, events | vibrant multi-accent, bouncy springs, decorative color |
| ecommerce | storefront, product page | imagery-first, snappy, quick-view, brand+neutral |
Good motion feel (reduced-motion, GPU-only, press feedback, no ease-in on UI) is universal across all five; the tempo, palette, and typography vary per profile.
Cinematic (the default) — the signature elements the linter and tokens enforce:
| Signature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Fullscreen video background | media is the canvas; UI stays quiet on top |
| Explicit z-index layering | depth via layering (video 0 → overlay 1 → content 10 → nav 20), never WebGL |
rounded-full pill UI |
glass pills for nav and buttons |
| Negative tracking on display type | tight, editorial headlines |
Glassmorphism (backdrop-blur) |
the liquid-glass surface primitive |
| Instrument Serif + Inter pairing | serif display over a clean sans body |
Signature easing cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) |
expo-out on entrances |
Full guidelines: motion-design-dna.md. Everything is customizable — cinematic defaults live in config/motion-tokens.json; the other four languages live in config/profiles/*.json, all with the same schema. See the customization guide.

review-motion and improve-motion are method skills — they reuse the builder's linter, tokens, and standards rather than duplicating them.

⚖️ License & Provenance
- Everything in this repo — code, skill, linter, docs, landing page, and all 54 prompts: MIT.
- Original prompts: every prompt is authored from this project's own design profiles and motion DNA. No brand replicas, copied copy, or hotlinked third-party assets.
- Bring your own media: most prompts use explicit placeholders. The Vietnam collection instead records Pexels source pages, photographer credits, crop guidance, and local-download targets; image binaries are not bundled. Re-check the source license before publication. All fonts are open-licensed (Google Fonts / OFL).
