canon-micro-interactions

canon-micro-interactions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Dragoon0x/canon. It costs 74 tokens per session (687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to small animations that acknowledge user actions, such as toggling a switch, checking a box, liking something, or dismissing an item. It covers the action, the visual response, timing, and when the animation ends.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review feedback animations for buttons, switches, checkboxes, refresh actions, likes, and swipe-to-dismiss interactions.
Why use it?
It helps users understand whether an action worked without making the interface 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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00074 $0.00687
Opus 5.5 $0.00030 $0.00275

Security

Grade A, and why

canon-micro-interactions 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 2mo 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.

CANON · Micro-interactions

A micro-interaction is an animation that acknowledges an action. Toggle flips, hearts fill, checkmarks draw. The test is always: does removing it leave the user unsure whether the action worked?

The feedback loop

Every micro-interaction has four parts: trigger → rules → feedback → loop/exit.

  • Trigger: user taps, hovers, or the system state changes.
  • Rules: what should happen (toggle on, add to favorites, validate).
  • Feedback: the visual response (switch slides, heart fills, check draws).
  • Loop/exit: does it repeat? Reset? End?

Duration budget

Micro-interactions live in the 100–300ms envelope (canon-motion micro and short ranges). Longer and they block the next interaction.

Interaction Duration
Toggle switch slide 150–200ms
Checkbox check-draw 150ms
Like heart fill 200–300ms
Button press scale 100ms
Pull-to-refresh spin continuous until complete
Swipe-to-dismiss 200ms exit after threshold

Easing

  • Snappy: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1) — quick start, soft land. For most toggles and taps.
  • Spring: acceptable for mobile-native feel (draggable elements). Use carefully — bounce can look childish.
  • Linear: almost never. Feels mechanical.

What earns a micro-interaction

Earns it Doesn't
State changed (on→off, liked→unliked) Data loaded (use skeleton, not animation)
Item added/removed from list Passive content appearing
Drag threshold crossed Hover on non-interactive element
User achieved something (completed task) Every page transition

prefers-reduced-motion

Every micro-interaction must degrade to instant state change under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. No exceptions.

Anti-patterns

Anti-pattern Why it fails
Micro-interaction > 500ms Blocks next action
Bouncing on every tap Childish, exhausting
Animation on passive content Unnecessary distraction
No reduced-motion fallback Accessibility fail
Micro-interaction obscures the result User unsure what happened

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.
