SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design and implement web animations that are not only visually appealing but also performant and accessible, avoiding common pitfalls that lead to janky or annoying user experiences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Easing & Timing Guidance: Provides recommendations for appropriate easing functions (ease-out, ease-in-out, etc.) and durations based on animation type and user interaction frequency.
  • Performance Optimization: Advises on animating transform and opacity properties for GPU acceleration and avoiding layout-triggering properties.
  • Accessibility: Ensures animations respect prefers-reduced-motion settings and provides guidance on touch device interactions.
  • Use Case: You need to animate a modal window appearing on screen. This Skill will guide you to use an ease-out function with a duration under 300ms, animating opacity and transform for optimal performance and accessibility.

Quick Start

Use the web-animation-design skill to determine the best easing function for a button hover effect.

Frequently Asked Questions about web-animation-design

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

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to optimize CSS web animations for performance?

Optimize web animation performance by animating `transform` and `opacity` properties to trigger GPU acceleration, avoiding layout-thrashing properties like width or top that cause browser repaints.

How do I choose the right easing function and duration for UI transitions?

Choose easing functions and durations based on interaction frequency; modal windows typically use an `ease-out` function with a duration under 300ms to feel responsive and visually smooth.

How do I make web animations accessible for users with motion sensitivity?

Make web animations accessible by respecting the CSS `prefers-reduced-motion` media query settings, ensuring users can disable or minimize animation effects that cause vestibular discomfort.

Does JavaScript animation support spring physics for web design interactions?

JavaScript animation libraries support spring physics to create natural-feeling motion, complementing standard CSS transitions for complex interaction scenarios beyond simple hover effects.

Why does my web animation look janky on mobile touch devices?

Web animations look janky when animating layout-triggering properties instead of `transform` or `opacity`, and when touch device interaction behaviors are not properly accounted for in the design.
