SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create intuitive, performant web animations that elevate user experience by aligning motion with UI intent and accessibility considerations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Easing guidance for common UI states (enter/exit, hover, move) and framework-agnostic recommendations.
  • Timing & performance rules to keep animations under 300ms and GPU-accelerated transforms.
  • Accessibility guardrails for prefers-reduced-motion and motion-aware design in complex interfaces.

Quick Start

Describe an animation scenario and I will propose timing, easing, and motion choices to bring it to life.

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 easing to use for web UI animations like modals and dropdowns?

For web UI animations, ease-out is ideal for enter states like modals and dropdowns, while ease-in-out suits move transitions, ensuring motion feels natural and purposeful. This approach aligns timing and easing with UI intent.

How do I keep CSS transitions performant for page transitions and tooltips?

Keep CSS transitions performant by restricting duration under 300ms and using GPU-accelerated transforms and opacity. Avoid animating layout properties to maintain smooth frame rates for tooltips and page transitions.

How do I handle prefers-reduced-motion when designing web animations?

Handle prefers-reduced-motion by applying accessibility guardrails that disable or minimize motion for UI elements. This ensures your web animation design respects user settings while maintaining interface usability.

What duration should I use for button and tooltip animations?

Button and tooltip animations should use a duration under 300ms to maintain a responsive feel. Staying within typical UI limits prevents the interface from appearing sluggish while keeping transitions natural.

Does this approach to motion design work with any frontend framework?

Yes, this approach provides framework-agnostic recommendations for easing and timing. It applies to UI elements like buttons and dropdowns using CSS transitions and transforms regardless of your specific frontend stack.
