description	Reviews Godot Animation implementation for known pitfalls. Triggers AFTER implementation, when code involves AnimationPlayer, AnimationTree, AnimatedSprite2D, SpriteFrames, AnimationNodeStateMachine, BlendSpace, OneShot, callback_mode_process, or animation playback control (play/travel/start). Do NOT use this skill for planning or teaching — only for post-implementation review.

Animation Review

Post-implementation reviewer for Godot animation code. Checks against known gotchas that LLMs consistently get wrong.

When to trigger

After animation-related code is written or modified. Look for:

• Animation nodes (AnimationPlayer, AnimationTree, AnimatedSprite2D)
• AnimationTree state machine control (travel(), start(), active)
• SpriteFrames or Animation resource manipulation at runtime
• callback_mode_process settings
• Pool/spawn lifecycle involving animated entities
• Briefs or asset snapshots that require multi-frame grid_sheet runtime assets, dynamic-mode evidence, frame sequences, animated actors, or animated FX. Trigger even if the implementation contains no animation API; omitted expected animation is a finding.

Review process

1. Read gotchas.md
2. Scan the implemented code against each gotcha
3. For each hit:
   • Cite the gotcha ID (e.g. G1)
   • Show the offending code
   • Provide the fix
4. If no hits, report clean
5. Optionally run checklist.md static checks for automated verification

When you need specific API details, delegate to the godot-api skill.
