add_object
Appends a new object (Shape, Frame, Text, etc.) to an artboard. Defaults position to artboard center if omitted or (0,0).

Blank screens match the active screen's size/background and get an onLoad animation in an entry state, like the editor's; or pass duplicateFrom to copy an existing screen. Wire navigation with add_object_interaction action 'Navigate Artboard'.
add_shadow
Adds a drop shadow or inner shadow to an object.
Build & Review Motion Visually
Let Claude or Cursor run read_artboard, then fine-tune timing, spring physics, and export ready-to-ship code in ExodeUI.
