Use this skill after a design artifact already exists. The goal is to make the interface feel alive without turning it into a motion demo.
Workflow
- Inspect the current HTML, component, or selected page element before adding animation.
- Pick the smallest set of motion moments that clarify state or hierarchy:
- entry reveal for the primary content
- hover / active feedback for important controls
- transition between UI states
- scroll reveal only when it helps the story
- Prefer
transformandopacity. Avoid animating layout properties such astop,left,width, orheight.
