ui-animation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GktuOktay/ai-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,016 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing, implementing, reviewing, and optimizing motion in web and mobile user interfaces, including fades, slides, scaling, and loading transitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify useful interface animations, select timing and easing, review implementations, and improve their performance.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose animation purposefully, use consistent motion terminology, and avoid inefficient or distracting effects.

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

ui-animation 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 8d 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.

UI Animation — Complete Guide

This skill covers the full lifecycle of UI animations: from identifying where animations add value, through implementation with best practices, to reviewing and optimizing existing animations.


1. Animation Vocabulary & Taxonomy

Motion Primitives

Primitive CSS / JS Property Use Case
Fade opacity Entrance/exit, overlays, skeleton → content
Slide translateX / translateY Page transitions, drawers, toasts
Scale scale / transform: scale() Modals, cards, hover emphasis
Rotate rotate / transform: rotate() Loading spinners, icon state change
Morph clip-path, d (SVG path) Shape transitions, creative reveals
Color Shift background-color, color, fill State feedback (success/error), theming
Blur filter: blur() Depth of field, focus transitions
Stagger Sequential delay per child List/grid entrance, cascade effects

Easing Reference

Name CSS Value Personality
Ease Out Cubic cubic-bezier(0.33, 1, 0.68, 1) Snappy, responsive (recommended default)
Ease In Out Quart cubic-bezier(0.76, 0, 0.24, 1) Elegant, polished transitions
Spring cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) Playful, bouncy, delightful
Linear linear Only for infinite loops (spinners, marquees)

Duration Guidelines

  • Micro-interactions (hover, press): 100–200ms
  • Small transitions (toggle, tab switch): 200–300ms
  • Medium transitions (modal open, slide-in): 300–500ms
  • Large/page transitions: 400–700ms
  • Never exceed 1000ms for functional animations

2. Finding Animation Opportunities

When reviewing a UI, systematically scan for these high-impact animation opportunities:

High Priority (Always Animate)

  1. Page/Route Transitions — Fade + subtle slide between pages
  2. Modal & Dialog — Scale from 0.95 → 1.0 + backdrop fade
  3. Loading States — Skeleton shimmer, spinner, progress bar
  4. Toast / Notification — Slide in from edge + auto-dismiss fade
  5. Navigation State — Active tab indicator slide, hamburger → X morph

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.
