SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps design teams turn static UI designs into interactive prototypes, enabling realistic testing of flows and feedback without manual animation setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transition Animations: Page transitions, modal entrances/exits, navigation changes, and tab switching with smooth motion.
  • Micro-interactions: Button states, input focus feedback, and small motion cues that improve perceived usability.
  • Gesture-Based Interactions: Support for drag-and-drop, swipe gestures, and pull-to-refresh to simulate real-world user actions.
  • Prototype Types & Best Practices: Click-through, interactive, and presentation prototypes with guidance on timing, easing, and accessibility.
  • Real-World Scenarios: Use cases include onboarding flows, task boards, and dashboards requiring responsive motion.

Quick Start

Open a Figma file, switch to Prototype mode, and link frames using Smart Animate with consistent object names. Use transitions with easing such as ease-out for entrances and ease-in-out for state changes. Preview in the Figma Prototype viewer or share a live prototype link to gather feedback.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create interactive Figma prototypes with transitions and micro-interactions?▼

Figma prototyping turns static UI designs into interactive prototypes by linking frames using Smart Animate. It enables realistic testing of flows, modal entrances, and navigation changes without manual animation setup.

What is the best way to use Smart Animate for UI transitions and gesture-based flows?▼

Smart Animate creates smooth UI transitions by matching object names across frames. Use ease-out for entrances and ease-in-out for state changes to support gesture-based interactions like drag-and-drop and pull-to-refresh.

Can I simulate swipe gestures and drag-and-drop interactions in Figma?▼

Figma supports gesture-based interactions including swipe gestures, drag-and-drop, and pull-to-refresh. These simulate real-world user actions within the Prototype viewer to test responsive motion and interactive flows.

What are the best practices for timing and easing in Figma motion design?▼

Figma motion design best practices recommend ease-out for entrances and ease-in-out for state changes. Proper timing and easing improve perceived usability and ensure accessibility during transitions and micro-interactions.

Do I need to keep object names consistent for Smart Animate transitions to work?▼

Smart Animate transitions require consistent object names across linked frames to automatically detect matching layers. This consistency allows Figma to generate smooth motion between prototype states without manual keyframing.

When should I use click-through prototypes versus interactive prototypes in Figma?▼

Use click-through prototypes for basic navigation validation and interactive prototypes for complex flows like onboarding or dashboards. Interactive prototypes leverage Smart Animate and micro-interactions to test realistic responsive motion and feedback.
