What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the common issue of teams adding decorative, poorly performing, or inaccessible UI animations that fail to guide user attention, waste engineering effort, and violate accessibility standards like WCAG.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Purpose-Driven Animation Framework: Defines 5 core jobs motion must serve (orient, acknowledge, express state, guide attention, express brand) to eliminate unnecessary decorative animations.
- Standardized Specs & Recipes: Provides pre-defined duration tokens, easing curves, and cross-framework code snippets for Framer Motion, GSAP, and CSS to speed up implementation.
- Built-in Guardrails: Includes performance rules to maintain 60fps and mandatory reduced-motion fallbacks to ensure accessibility for all users.
- Use Case: A product team building a React e-commerce dashboard can use this Skill to spec button press micro-interactions, modal transitions, and scroll-driven product card reveals that align with their brand while passing accessibility audits.
