css-native

css-native is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jwuthri/Tracely-ai. It costs 25 tokens per session (2,124 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to making animations and visual effects with built-in CSS features, without adding a JavaScript animation library. CSS is the language that controls a website's appearance and layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for scroll-based reveals, parallax, tooltips, popovers, page transitions, and elements that enter or leave the page.
Why use it?
It helps keep simple animations lightweight and avoids extra dependencies when modern browsers can handle the effect themselves.

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

css-native 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 4d 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.

CSS Native — Zero-Dependency Animations & Visual Techniques

When to Use CSS Native vs Library

Situation Decision
< 3 animations on the page CSS native
Scroll-driven reveal/parallax CSS native (animation-timeline)
Enter/exit from display: none CSS native (@starting-style + transition-behavior: allow-discrete)
Tooltip/popover positioning CSS native (anchor positioning)
Page transitions (MPA or SPA) CSS native (View Transitions API)
Complex multi-step timeline (5+ tweens) GSAP
Stagger across dynamic list (unknown count) GSAP or Framer Motion
Physics-based spring with interruption Framer Motion
Morph between SVG shapes GSAP MorphSVG

Rule of thumb: if you can express it in a @keyframes + one animation-timeline, stay in CSS. The moment you need imperative control, sequence coordination, or runtime values — reach for a library.


Scroll-Driven Animations

Scroll Progress Timeline

Animate based on scroll position of a container.

.progress-bar {
  animation: grow-width linear both;
  animation-timeline: scroll(root block);
}

@keyframes grow-width {
  from { transform: scaleX(0); }
  to   { transform: scaleX(1); }
}
  • scroll(<scroller> <axis>) — scroller: nearest | root | self, axis: block | inline | x | y
  • Default: scroll(nearest block)

View Progress Timeline

Animate as an element enters/exits the scrollport.

.reveal {
  animation: fade-in linear both;
  animation-timeline: view();
  animation-range: entry 0% entry 100%;
}

@keyframes fade-in {
  from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(2rem); }
  to   { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }
}

animation-range

Controls which segment of the timeline drives the animation.

/* Named ranges: cover | contain | entry | exit | entry-crossing | exit-crossing */
animation-range: entry 0% entry 100%;    /* animate during entry only */
animation-range: contain 0% contain 100%; /* animate while fully visible */
animation-range: entry 25% exit 75%;      /* custom start/end */

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.
