web-animations

web-animations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hidobeats/hido-claude-kit. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for choosing and implementing web animations, from simple CSS transitions to JavaScript, canvas, SVG, and 3D techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build hover effects, scroll reveals, page transitions, cursor interactions, path animations, and other browser-based motion.
Why use it?
It helps match an animation to the needed control and performance cost instead of adding unnecessary complexity.

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

web-animations 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.

Web Animations

Reference for choosing and implementing website animations. Detailed effect catalogs and code patterns are in references/ — load only what you need.

Technique Selection

Pick the lightest technique that achieves the effect:

CSS keyframes/transitions
  ↓ not enough control?
IntersectionObserver + CSS classes
  ↓ need scroll-linked progress?
GSAP + ScrollTrigger
  ↓ need physics or enter/exit orchestration?
Framer Motion (React) or Web Animations API (vanilla)
  ↓ need per-pixel control?
Canvas 2D + requestAnimationFrame
  ↓ need GPU shaders or 3D?
WebGL (Three.js / OGL / raw)
Technique Best For Dependencies Perf Cost
CSS keyframes Loops, hovers, simple transitions None Lowest
CSS transitions + JS class toggle Scroll reveals, state changes None Low
IntersectionObserver Viewport-triggered animations None Low
CSS Scroll-Driven Scroll progress, viewport reveals (no JS) None Lowest
View Transitions API Page/route transitions, cross-view morphs None Low
WAAPI (element.animate) JS-controlled transitions, sequencing None Low
SVG stroke/morph Path drawing, icon animations, shape morphing None or flubber ~5kb Low
GSAP + ScrollTrigger Scroll-scrubbed, staggered, timeline gsap ~30kb Medium
Framer Motion / motion React enter/exit, spring physics, layout motion ~50kb Medium
Lottie Pre-made illustration animations, loaders lottie-web ~50kb Medium
Rive Interactive state-machine animations @rive-app ~50kb Medium
Canvas 2D Particle systems, text distortion, trails None Medium-High
WebGL (OGL) Lightweight shaders, iridescence, chrome ogl ~30kb Medium-High
WebGL (Three.js) 3D scenes, heavy shader effects three ~150kb High

When NOT to Activate

  • Task is backend/API only (no UI)
  • User asks for static layout without motion
  • Simple CSS hover that Claude already knows

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.
