SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating smooth, GPU-accelerated animations in React-based apps can be complex and error-prone. This Skill provides a structured approach to implementing Motion.dev-powered motion that is scalable, accessible, and maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern Decision Tree for entrance, gesture, scroll, and layout animations to choose the right approach.
  • Spring physics tuning and stagger orchestration for responsive, natural motion.
  • Accessibility: respects prefers-reduced-motion and provides safe defaults.
  • Performance best practices: restrict transforms, avoid layout thrash, and use viewport controls for reveals.
  • Use cases include page transitions, scroll reveals, hover interactions, drag gestures, and layout animations across React, Next.js, Svelte, and Astro.

Quick Start

Integrate Motion.dev into your React project by applying the pattern tree and example snippets to animate a component.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create GPU-accelerated React animations with Motion.dev?

GPU-accelerated React animations with Motion.dev are created by applying a structured pattern decision tree for entrance, gesture, scroll, and layout animations. The Skill restricts transforms and avoids layout thrash to ensure smooth performance.

How do I add scroll reveal and page transition animations in Next.js?

Scroll reveal and page transition animations in Next.js are implemented using Motion.dev patterns with viewport controls and stagger orchestration. This provides responsive, natural motion without manual scroll listener management.

Does Motion.dev support accessibility for reduced motion preferences?

Yes, Motion.dev animations support accessibility by respecting the prefers-reduced-motion media query. The Skill provides safe defaults to ensure UI interactions remain accessible to users who require reduced motion.

Can I use this React animation approach with Svelte and Astro?

Yes, this animation approach works with Svelte and Astro in addition to React and Next.js. The Skill applies motion patterns across these frameworks to handle page transitions, hover interactions, and drag gestures.

What is the best way to tune spring physics for stagger orchestration in React?

Spring physics tuning for stagger orchestration in React is handled using Motion.dev's built-in physics controls. The Skill applies these controls to coordinate responsive, natural motion across multiple UI elements.

Why does my React layout animation cause performance issues and layout thrash?

React layout animations cause performance issues when they trigger layout thrash instead of using GPU-accelerated transforms. The Skill prevents this by restricting transforms and validating performance using viewport controls for reveals.
