What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps design teams turn static UI designs into interactive prototypes, enabling realistic testing of flows and feedback without manual animation setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Transition Animations: Page transitions, modal entrances/exits, navigation changes, and tab switching with smooth motion.
• Micro-interactions: Button states, input focus feedback, and small motion cues that improve perceived usability.
• Gesture-Based Interactions: Support for drag-and-drop, swipe gestures, and pull-to-refresh to simulate real-world user actions.
• Prototype Types & Best Practices: Click-through, interactive, and presentation prototypes with guidance on timing, easing, and accessibility.
• Real-World Scenarios: Use cases include onboarding flows, task boards, and dashboards requiring responsive motion.

Quick Start

Open a Figma file, switch to Prototype mode, and link frames using Smart Animate with consistent object names. Use transitions with easing such as ease-out for entrances and ease-in-out for state changes. Preview in the Figma Prototype viewer or share a live prototype link to gather feedback.
