dashmotion v2.0.0
First public release. Diagrams that move — a Claude AI skill that generates animated technical diagrams as self-contained HTML/SVG files. The name is the implementation: stroke-dashoffset + animateMotion.
Two modes
- Flow — workflows, pipelines, state machines. Dashed connectors stream from START to END through branches and merges.
- Architecture — system topology with semantic component colors, region/security-group boundaries, legend, summary cards — and the differentiator: animated request journeys. A dot leaves the client, hops through CDN → gateway → service → database via chained SMIL timing, then a new request begins.
Install

Or Claude Code: unzip dashmotion.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/
Notes
- Output is a single HTML file: vector, infs anywhere. Convert to GIF/MP4 with one
timecut/ffmpegcommand when needed. prefers-reduced-motionrespected; every diagram ships a pause toggle.- Coexists with Cocoon-AI/architecture-diagram-generator — animation intent routes here, static requests stay there. Tested side by side.
Requires Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise.
