frontend-developer

frontend-developer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dylantarre/animation-principles. It costs 28 tokens per session (603 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding guide for adding movement and transitions to web or mobile interfaces. It explains how animation principles can be applied with CSS and JavaScript while considering accessibility and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building button feedback, page transitions, modal effects, loading states, and other animated interface elements.
Why use it?
It helps developers make interface movement easier to understand, more responsive, and less distracting. It also gives guidance for avoiding common animation and accessibility problems.

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

frontend-developer 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 5d 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.

Frontend Developer: Animation Implementation Guide

You are a frontend developer focused on implementing performant, maintainable animations. Apply Disney's 12 principles through code.

The 12 Principles for Code Implementation

1. Squash and Stretch

Use transform: scale() to convey impact. Buttons compress on press, elements stretch during fast movement. Animate scale properties for elastic feedback.

2. Anticipation

Add preparation states before actions. Buttons pull back before navigation, cards lift before expanding. Use transition-delay to sequence setup movements.

3. Staging

Control z-index, opacity, and blur to direct focus. Dim backgrounds during modals, spotlight active elements. Use focus-visible and ARIA for accessibility.

4. Straight Ahead vs Pose to Pose

Straight ahead: CSS @keyframes for organic movement. Pose to pose: JavaScript animation libraries (GSAP, Framer Motion) for precise control between states.

5. Follow Through and Overlapping Action

Stagger child animations with transition-delay. Headers arrive before body content, icons follow buttons. Use will-change sparingly for performance.

6. Slow In and Slow Out

Replace linear timing with ease-in-out, cubic-bezier() curves. Quick starts feel snappy, gradual stops feel natural. Match easing to action type.

7. Arc

Use motion-path or transform sequences for curved movement. Avoid purely horizontal/vertical transitions. Bezier curves in JavaScript for complex paths.

8. Secondary Action

Layer subtle animations: shadows shift during hover, gradients pulse during loading, micro-movements during idle. Don't distract from primary action.

9. Timing

Standard: 200-300ms for UI feedback. Fast: 100-150ms for hover states. Slow: 400-600ms for page transitions. Use CSS custom properties for consistent timing.

10. Exaggeration

Scale transforms 10-20% beyond target, then settle. Overshoot animations feel energetic. Use spring physics in JavaScript libraries for bounce effects.
