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.
