SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you choose motion that feels responsive, readable, and intentional instead of janky or distracting. It turns vague animation feedback into concrete guidance on easing, timing, and accessibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Easing decisions: Pick ease-out, ease-in-out, or ease based on whether something enters, moves, or hovers.
  • Motion reviews: Diagnose shaky transforms, awkward scale values, overlong durations, and hover flicker.
  • Accessibility and performance: Add reduced-motion handling and keep animations on transform and opacity.
  • Use case: Refine a modal, dropdown, tooltip, or button press interaction so it feels polished and safe across devices.

Quick Start

Ask for a review of your animation and include the component, the current CSS or framework code, and the feeling you want to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions about web-animation-design

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right easing for UI animations like dropdowns and modals?▼

Diagnose motion issues by checking if animations use safe properties like transform and opacity. Avoid animating layout properties, ensure durations are not overlong, and verify easing values match the interaction type to eliminate janky transitions.

How do I add reduced-motion support to web animation code?▼

Add reduced-motion support by providing alternative styles or disabling non-essential motion when the user prefers reduced motion. This ensures microinteractions and transitions remain accessible and safe across all devices without causing distraction.

Why does my hover animation flicker and feel janky on scroll?▼

Hover flicker and janky scroll occur when animations modify layout-triggering properties instead of transform and opacity. Optimize web motion by restricting animations to transform and opacity for performance-safe rendering and smooth visual feedback.

Can I use this motion design guidance with both CSS and JavaScript animation libraries?▼

Yes, this motion design guidance applies across both CSS and JavaScript animation libraries. It provides duration, easing, and accessibility patterns for UI elements like tooltips and gesture animations regardless of the underlying implementation framework.

What duration should I use for web microinteractions and transitions?▼

Use shorter durations for microinteractions like hover states and tooltips, and slightly longer durations for modals or dropdowns. Selecting the right duration prevents overlong animations and ensures UI motion feels natural and intentional.
