SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Static interfaces often lack feedback, feel abrupt during state changes, and miss opportunities to guide users. This Skill reviews a feature and systematically adds animations and micro-interactions that improve usability and create delight. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Animation Opportunity Assessment: Identifies missing feedback, jarring transitions, and unclear spatial relationships before writing any code. - Layered Motion Strategy: Plans hero moments, feedback layers, transition layers, and delight moments with correct durations and easing curves. - Accessible Implementation: Uses GPU-accelerated transform and opacity animations with full prefers-reduced-motion support. - Use Case: You built a settings page with toggles, modals, and form validation. Use this Skill to add smooth toggle transitions, modal entrance animations, validation shake feedback, and a staggered page-load reveal. ## Quick Start Use the animate skill to review my dashboard feature and add purposeful animations and micro-interactions to it.

Frequently Asked Questions about animate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add animations and micro-interactions to a web UI?▼

Start by identifying missing feedback, abrupt state changes, and unclear relationships in the interface. Then implement entrance animations, hover and click feedback, and state transitions using CSS transitions and keyframes with transform and opacity for GPU acceleration.

What easing curves should I use for UI animations?▼

Use ease-out curves like cubic-bezier(0.25, 1, 0.5, 1) or cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) for natural deceleration. Avoid bounce and elastic curves, which feel dated and draw attention to the animation itself.

Should I use CSS or JavaScript for web animations?▼

Use CSS transitions and keyframes for simple declarative state changes. Use JavaScript options like the Web Animations API, Framer Motion for React, or GSAP for complex interactive sequences requiring programmatic control.

How do I make animations accessible for reduced motion users?▼

Wrap animations in a prefers-reduced-motion media query that reduces durations to near zero and disables iteration. Always provide non-animated alternatives so motion-sensitive users get equivalent feedback.

Why do my CSS animations cause jank and low FPS?▼

Jank usually comes from animating layout properties like width, height, top, or left, which trigger reflows. Animate only transform and opacity, use will-change sparingly, and verify 60fps on target devices.
