animation-vocabulary
Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI or designer with. For naming an effect, not designing or building one.

unity-docs

reverse-centaur-mode
Use when the user asks to enter or invoke reverse centaur mode, or asks for a guided walkthrough where they execute the task themselves and the agent gives one instruction at a time. Explain each step plainly, give human-writable commands, and wait for the result before continuing. Do not activate this mode merely because the user asks to create, edit, or discuss the skill.
