SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the use of hardcoded numbers and strings in GSAP animations, ensuring all motion values are derived from a single, consistent design token system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Token-Driven Animations: All GSAP durations, easings, and distances are managed via TypeScript constants.
  • Reusable Animation Hooks: Provides hooks like useScrollReveal and useStaggerEntrance to abstract common animation patterns and eliminate boilerplate.
  • Automated Enforcement: Includes gate scripts and pre-commit hooks to prevent the introduction of hardcoded animation values.
  • Use Case: When building a new UI component with animations, use the provided hooks and token constants to ensure animations are consistent, performant, and easily updatable globally.

Quick Start

Use the implementing-token-bridge skill to animate elements using predefined duration and easing tokens.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use CSS design tokens in GSAP animations instead of hardcoded values?

To use design tokens in GSAP animations, you bridge CSS design tokens to JavaScript by enforcing TypeScript token constants for all motion values like durations, easings, and distances. This ensures all animations derive from a single, consistent design token system.

How do I eliminate hardcoded animation values in my React and GSAP workflow?

You eliminate hardcoded animation values by integrating automated enforcement gates and pre-commit hooks that prevent the introduction of raw numbers and strings. This ensures all motion values are derived from a single, consistent design token system.

Can I use reusable React hooks for common GSAP animation patterns?

Yes, you can use reusable React hooks like useScrollReveal and useStaggerEntrance to abstract common GSAP animation patterns. This eliminates boilerplate and ensures animations are consistent, performant, and easily updatable globally.

What is the best way to maintain frontend performance and consistency when scaling GSAP animations?

The best way to maintain frontend performance and consistency is managing all GSAP durations, easings, and distances via TypeScript constants. This token-driven approach ensures all motion values are derived from a single, consistent design token system.

Do I need TypeScript to enforce token-based animation standards with GSAP?

Yes, TypeScript is required to enforce token-based animation standards. The workflow bridges CSS design tokens to JavaScript GSAP animations by enforcing the use of TypeScript token constants for all motion values.

Why should I use design tokens for GSAP duration and easing instead of magic numbers?

You should use design tokens instead of magic numbers to ensure all motion values are derived from a single, consistent design token system. This makes UI component animations consistent, performant, and easily updatable globally.
