SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

UI teams often struggle to design, review, and debug motion and animation in a way that is accessible, performant, and consistent across components. This skill provides guidelines for creating, reviewing, and implementing UI motion with clear rules and best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Consistent motion guidelines for timing, easing, and reduced-motion behavior.
  • Guidance on when to prefer CSS transitions, WAAPI, or JS-based animations.
  • Use cases covering UI micro-interactions, dialogs, tooltips, and general UX polish.

Quick Start

Draft an accessible UI motion plan for a modal: include timing, easing, reduced-motion considerations, and animation targets.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design accessible UI motion guidelines for modals and micro-interactions?

Accessible UI motion guidelines specify measurable criteria for timing, easing, and reduced-motion behavior across micro-interactions, modals, and tooltips. Define animation targets and safety constraints to ensure consistent, performant transitions across CSS, JavaScript, and Framer Motion.

When should I use CSS transitions versus JavaScript animation libraries for UI animation?

Choose CSS transitions for simple state changes and leverage JavaScript animation libraries like Framer Motion or WAAPI for complex sequencing. Apply guidelines to determine the optimal approach based on performance constraints and accessibility considerations.

How do I implement reduced-motion behavior for Framer Motion and CSS transitions?

Implement reduced-motion behavior by defining safety constraints that disable or simplify animations for users with motion sensitivities. Apply measurable criteria to ensure Framer Motion and CSS transitions respect user preferences while maintaining functional state changes.

What are the best practices for reviewing and debugging UI animation performance issues?

Review UI animation performance by checking timing, easing curves, and safety constraints against established guidelines. Debug CSS transitions and Framer Motion implementations by verifying reduced-motion compliance and ensuring consistent motion patterns across components.

Does this UI animation skill work without external dependencies or component libraries?

Yes, the UI animation skill operates without external dependencies or component libraries. It provides framework-agnostic guidelines for CSS transitions, WAAPI, and Framer Motion that you can apply to any project requiring accessible motion design.
