# Skiper UI

> Animated, uncommon UI components installable directly via shadcn CLI

Skiper UI is an animated component library designed as an add-on layer for shadcn/ui and Next.js projects. It provides complex, highly interactive components like dynamic islands, image reveal effects, and cursor trails that can be added into a codebase with single CLI commands. Each component is self-contained in a single file with no extraneous dependencies.
