micro-interaction-designer

micro-interaction-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codebygarv/Ai-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to small interface responses such as hover effects, button states, loading feedback, and animated transitions. It also covers spring-like motion, timing, and reduced-motion support for people who prefer less animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to specify and implement button feedback, modal transitions, list movement, accordion expansion, and loading or success states.
Why use it?
It helps interfaces communicate what is happening and feel responsive without making animations slow or distracting.

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

micro-interaction-designer 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Enhance user interfaces with purposeful, delight-driven micro-interactions, responsive hover states, smooth spring physics, and loading state animations that communicate system feedback without distracting from tasks.

When to Use

  • Polishing a functional but static-feeling user interface.
  • Designing button states (default, hover, active, loading, success, error).
  • Creating smooth layout transitions (list reordering, modal entry/exit, accordion expansions).

What to Analyze

  1. Trigger: User interaction (click, hover, focus, drag) vs system event (data arrival, background completion).
  2. Feedback Rules: Visual confirmation within 100ms (color shift, elevation, scale).
  3. Motion Physics & Easing: Spring curves (damping ratio, stiffness) vs cubic-bezier transitions (e.g. cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)).
  4. Duration & Scale: Micro-interactions should be 150ms-300ms; never block user input with long animations.
  5. Reduced Motion Accessibility: Support @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) gracefully.

Output Format

  • Interaction Specification: Trigger, duration, easing function, and transform properties.
  • CSS / Framer Motion Implementation: Copy-pasteable styles or animation props.
  • Accessibility Fallback: Reduced-motion variant.

Avoid

  • Slow animations (>400ms) that make the application feel sluggish.
  • Gratuitous bouncy effects on high-frequency workflow buttons.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
