SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interfaces often feel abrupt, unresponsive, or joyless when state changes and interactions lack clear visual feedback; this Skill identifies those gaps and prescribes motion that improves understanding, guidance, and perceived performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify animation opportunities: Detect missing feedback, jarring transitions, unclear relationships, and areas lacking delight.
  • Strategic planning: Define a single hero moment, feedback layer, transition layer, and delight layer to avoid over-animating.
  • Implementation guidance: Provide timing, easing, accessibility (prefers-reduced-motion), performance best practices, and recommended tooling (CSS, Web Animations API, Framer Motion, GSAP).
  • Use Case: Add micro-interactions to form controls and smooth page transitions in a React app while preserving 60fps on mobile and honoring reduced-motion preferences.

Quick Start

Analyze the checkout form and add focused button feedback, input validation animations, and a smooth cart-to-confirmation transition while ensuring prefers-reduced-motion is respected.

Frequently Asked Questions about animate

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I add micro-interactions to a React app without hurting mobile performance?▼

To add micro-interactions without hurting mobile performance, use GPU-accelerated transforms and opacity while maintaining 60fps. This Skill helps identify animation opportunities in React interfaces and prescribes optimized feedback using CSS, Framer Motion, or GSAP.

What is the best way to plan UI animations so they don't feel overdone?▼

The best way to plan UI animations is to define a single hero moment alongside feedback, transition, and delight layers. This approach prevents over-animating by ensuring motion serves clarity, guidance, and perceived performance rather than decorating interfaces.

Do I need to handle prefers-reduced-motion when building web animations?▼

Yes, you need to handle prefers-reduced-motion to meet accessibility requirements for web animations. This Skill ensures interfaces honor reduced-motion preferences by adjusting entrance animations and state transitions for sensitive users.

When should I use Framer Motion versus CSS for state transitions?▼

You should use CSS for simple state transitions and Framer Motion or GSAP for complex navigation flows. This Skill provides timing and easing guidance to help choose appropriate tooling based on animation complexity and performance requirements.

How do I fix abrupt state changes and unclear relationships in my user interface?▼

To fix abrupt state changes and unclear relationships, add purposeful UI animations that improve visual feedback. This Skill detects missing feedback and jarring transitions, prescribing motion that clarifies element relationships and guides user attention.
