vercel-react-view-transitions is a skill for Claude Code from ariadoss/superskills. It costs 127 tokens per session (2,375 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of vercel-react-view-transitions, MIT.

A guide to adding browser-native animations to React interfaces when pages, routes, or components change. React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for page transitions, route changes, shared-element animations, list rearrangements, and component enter or exit effects.
Why use it?
It helps connect animations to meaningful UI changes while allowing unsupported browsers to skip them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vercel-react-view-transitions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

React View Transitions

Animate between UI states using the browser's native document.startViewTransition. Declare what with <ViewTransition>, trigger when with startTransition / useDeferredValue / Suspense, control how with CSS classes. Unsupported browsers skip animations gracefully.

When to Animate

Every <ViewTransition> should communicate a spatial relationship or continuity. If you can't articulate what it communicates, don't add it.

Implement all applicable patterns from this list, in this order:

Priority Pattern What it communicates
1 Shared element (name) "Same thing — going deeper"
2 Suspense reveal "Data loaded"
3 List identity (per-item key) "Same items, new arrangement"
4 State change (enter/exit) "Something appeared/disappeared"
5 Route change (layout-level) "Going to a new place"

This is an implementation order, not a "pick one" list. Implement every pattern that fits the app. Only skip a pattern if the app has no use case for it.

Choosing Animation Style

Context Animation Why
Hierarchical navigation (list → detail) Type-keyed nav-forward / nav-back Communicates spatial depth
Lateral navigation (tab-to-tab) Bare <ViewTransition> (fade) or default="none" No depth to communicate
Suspense reveal enter/exit string props Content arriving
Revalidation / background refresh default="none" Silent — no animation needed

Reserve directional slides for hierarchical navigation (list → detail) and ordered sequences (prev/next photo, carousel, paginated results). For ordered sequences, the direction communicates position: "next" slides from right, "previous" from left. Lateral/unordered navigation (tab-to-tab) should not use directional slides — it falsely implies spatial depth.


Availability

  • Next.js: Do not install react@canary — the App Router already bundles React canary internally. ViewTransition works out of the box. npm ls react may show a stable-looking version; this is expected.
  • Without Next.js: Install react@canary react-dom@canary (ViewTransition is not in stable React).
  • Browser support: Chromium 111+, Firefox 144+, Safari 18.2+. Graceful degradation on unsupported browsers.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
