Rive — guide skill for animation & motion graphics

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

Know when to reach for Rive for interactive graphics and motion, then start from its CLI or runtime docs.

What it does

Rive's discovery skill tells an agent when Rive fits — interactive graphics, motion and UI that run from one file across web, mobile, desktop, games and TVs — and sends it down the right path: the runtime for an existing .riv file, the agent-oriented Rive CLI for a new graphic, or a CLI project's AGENTS.md. It deliberately carries no commands so installed copies don't go stale.

Use when

• Interactive or animated UI that should stand out
• Onboarding, characters, charts or ad heroes with motion
• An app that already ships .riv files

Install

• Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add rive-app/skills && /plugin install rive@rive
• Codex: codex plugin marketplace add rive-app/skills && codex plugin add rive@rive
• Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/rive-app/skills
• Cursor: npx skills add rive-app/skills --skill rive -a cursor
