SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Motion is essential for communicating state changes and maintaining accessibility; this skill provides a production-oriented framework for designing and implementing motion in web UI, balancing clarity, performance, and user comfort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define motion tokens (duration, distance, easing) for a design system.
  • Choose between CSS transitions, CSS keyframes, WAAPI, and the View Transitions API.
  • Ensure accessibility with reduced-motion support and meaningful feedback across route/state changes.
  • Apply motion strategies to route transitions, list/detail choreography, and component states.

Quick Start

Create a basic motion token set (duration, distance, easing) and apply a simple fade-and-slide transition to a component.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize UI motion and create a design system for CSS transitions?

To standardize UI motion, define a token system for duration, distance, and easing. This approach ensures consistent CSS transitions and clear interaction feedback across all product UI components and route changes.

How do I choose between CSS transitions, WAAPI, and the View Transitions API?

Choose between CSS transitions, WAAPI, and View Transitions based on mechanism selection guidance. CSS transitions handle simple state changes, while WAAPI and View Transitions manage complex shared-element choreography and route transitions.

How do I implement accessible motion fallbacks for reduced-motion preferences?

Implement accessible motion by applying reduced-motion fallbacks that disable or simplify animations. This ensures user comfort and maintains meaningful state feedback without causing vestibular issues during route and state changes.

What is the best way to animate shared elements during route transitions in a dashboard?

The best way to animate shared elements during route transitions is using the View Transitions API. It allows production-grade choreography between list and detail views, ensuring clear and performant UI motion.

What easing tokens should I use for a production-grade motion design system?

Production-grade motion design systems use predefined easing tokens alongside duration and distance tokens. These tokens standardize transform strategies across UI components, ensuring consistent and performant visual feedback.
