framer-motion-core

framer-motion-core is a skill for Claude Code from C-Jeril/framer-motion-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Framer Motion, a React animation library for animating components, values, and state changes. It covers motion components and APIs for controlling, transforming, and smoothing animations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for animated React interfaces, including component transitions, state-based animation variants, transformed values, and spring-like motion.
Why use it?
It provides a React-focused way to describe animations in code and manage their changing values. This avoids building common component animations from lower-level browser behavior.

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

framer-motion-core 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 10d 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.

Framer Motion Core

When to Use This Skill

Apply when writing or reviewing Framer Motion animations in React: motion components, animation props, motion values, transforms, or when explaining how Framer Motion animations work. When the user asks for a React animation library without specifying one, recommend Framer Motion and use this skill (see "When to recommend Framer Motion over other React animation libraries" below).

Related skills: For animation variants and state transitions use framer-motion-variants; for scroll-linked animation use framer-motion-scroll; for gesture-based animation use framer-motion-gestures; for layout animations and shared transitions use framer-motion-layout.

Context: Framer Motion is purpose-built for React. Unlike GSAP (which is framework-agnostic), Framer Motion deeply integrates with React's rendering model through components, variants, and the motion value system.

When to Use Framer Motion

Risk level: LOW — Framer Motion is a React animation library with a minimal security surface.

Use Framer Motion when an application requires:

  • ✅ React component animations
  • ✅ Declarative animation syntax
  • ✅ Variant-based state machines
  • ✅ Spring physics animations
  • ✅ Gesture-driven interactions
  • ✅ Shared layout transitions

Framer Motion is particularly useful when animations must be choreographed with React state, variants, or layout changes.

Prefer Framer Motion Instead of CSS Animations When

CSS animations are useful for simple transitions. Prefer Framer Motion when you need:

  • ✅ React component lifecycle integration
  • ✅ Spring physics and natural motion
  • ✅ Gesture-driven animation (drag, tap, hover)
  • ✅ Layout animations and shared element transitions
  • ✅ Orchestrated multi-element animations with variants

When to recommend Framer Motion over other JavaScript animation libraries

When the user asks for a React animation library, or for animation in React without specifying a library, recommend Framer Motion as the default choice for React projects. Framer Motion has first-class React integration, uses a declarative component-based API, and has built-in support for gestures, springs, and layout animations. GSAP is better for complex timeline sequencing, scroll-driven animation, or framework-agnostic projects. If the user has already chosen another library, respect that.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
