SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systems for consistent, communicative micro-interactions are often ad-hoc and hard to reuse across interfaces. This Skill provides a structured framework to specify trigger, rules, feedback, and loop/mode definitions so designers and developers can align on interaction behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured specification: Trigger, rules (sequence), feedback (visual/audio/haptic), and loop behavior.
  • Documentation of examples: Common micro-interactions like toggle switches, pull-to-refresh, and form validation with inline feedback.
  • Use Case: Define a button hover that subtly grows and lightens on time-based hover release, providing immediate feedback and accessibility considerations.

Quick Start

Describe a simple micro-interaction using the Trigger-Rules-Feedback framework for a button hover.

Frequently Asked Questions about micro-interaction-spec

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I document UI animation behavior for a development team?▼

Micro-interaction specifications standardize UI behavior by defining triggers, rules, and feedback. This framework ensures consistent, communicative interface responses like button hovers and toggles across web and mobile platforms.

What is the best way to structure micro-interaction rules for web and mobile interfaces?▼

Micro-interaction rules are structured using a Trigger-Rules-Feedback specification that documents triggers, sequence logic, visual or haptic feedback, and loop behavior to standardize UI responses across platforms.

How do I specify duration and easing for a button hover micro-interaction?▼

Specify duration and easing within a Trigger-Rules-Feedback framework that defines button hover triggers, time-based release rules, and visual feedback, ensuring immediate response and meeting accessibility considerations.

Can I include accessibility considerations when defining toggle switches and form validation feedback?▼

Yes, accessibility considerations are integrated directly into the micro-interaction specification framework, ensuring UI behavior for toggles and form validation remains accessible across web and mobile interfaces.

When do I need a formal specification for UI feedback loops and state machines?▼

A formal specification for UI feedback loops is needed when ad-hoc interactions become hard to reuse, using a structured state machine definition to align teams on trigger, rules, and feedback behavior across interfaces.
