SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Modern web animations often pull in heavy JavaScript libraries like GSAP or Framer Motion for effects that native CSS now handles natively, adding bundle weight and complexity. This Skill helps you decide when pure CSS is sufficient and provides production-ready patterns for scroll-driven animations, view transitions, enter/exit animations, and anchor-positioned floating UI. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Framework: A clear comparison table for choosing CSS native vs GSAP vs Framer Motion based on animation complexity, so you avoid unnecessary dependencies. - Modern CSS Patterns: Ready-to-use code for scroll-driven animations (animation-timeline), View Transitions API (same-document and cross-document), @starting-style enter animations, and CSS anchor positioning for tooltips and popovers. - Fallbacks & Browser Support: A references file with current browser support tables, @supports progressive enhancement strategies, and accessibility rules for prefers-reduced-motion. - Use Case: You are building a marketing page with scroll-reveal sections and an animated dialog. Instead of installing an animation library, apply animation-timeline: view() for reveals and @starting-style with allow-discrete for the dialog, with graceful fallbacks for older browsers. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to add a scroll-driven fade-in reveal animation to a section using pure CSS with a fallback for unsupported browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions about css-native

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create scroll-driven animations in pure CSS?▼

Use animation-timeline: scroll() for scroll progress or animation-timeline: view() for element visibility, paired with a @keyframes rule and animation-range to control the active segment. Wrap it in @supports (animation-timeline: scroll()) so unsupported browsers still show the content.

When should I use CSS animations instead of GSAP or Framer Motion?▼

Use CSS native when the effect fits a @keyframes plus one animation-timeline, such as scroll reveals, simple transitions, or enter/exit animations. Reach for GSAP or Framer Motion when you need multi-step timelines, dynamic staggers, physics springs, or imperative runtime control.

How do I animate an element entering from display none in CSS?▼

Combine @starting-style for the initial state with transition-behavior: allow-discrete on the display property. This enables native enter and exit animations for dialogs and popovers without any JavaScript timing code.

Which browsers support the View Transitions API?▼

Same-document view transitions work in Chrome 111+, Edge 111+, Firefox 133+, and Safari 18+. Cross-document transitions via @view-transition work in Chrome 126+ and Safari 18.2+, with Firefox support expected as an Interop 2026 item.

Why is my CSS anchor-positioned tooltip clipping off screen?▼

Anchor positioning clips when the primary inset-area has no viewport space and no fallback is defined. Always add position-try-fallbacks with @position-try rules for alternate placements like bottom, left, or right.

What CSS properties are safe to animate for performance?▼

Animate transform, opacity, clip-path, and filter, which are GPU-composited and avoid layout reflow. Avoid animating width, height, top, or left, since they trigger reflow and repaint on every frame.
