**Skip it when:** Choosing a whole page's visual direction. Hallmark and Impeccable handle that.

**Best for:** Animation, polishing components, testing worst cases and choosing libraries.

## Skills

- [animate](https://atlasscope.dev/skills/animate): Build an animation from scratch, making the decisions in the order that determines whether it feels right — should it animate at all, what purpose, which tool, which properties, which curve and duration, how it interrupts, how it exits.
