fixing-motion-performance

fixing-motion-performance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from petekp/claude-code-setup. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,184 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of fixing-motion-performance, MIT.

A set of rules for finding and fixing slow or jerky interface animations in CSS and JavaScript. It covers how movement affects page layout, drawing, and the final composited image.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or improve transitions, scrolling effects, reveals, layout animations, filters, masks, gradients, and code that measures or updates animated elements.
Why use it?
Animations can stutter when every frame forces the browser to recalculate page structure, redraw large areas, or process expensive visual 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

fixing-motion-performance 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 2d 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.

fixing-motion-performance

Fix animation performance issues.

how to use

  • /fixing-motion-performance Apply these constraints to any UI animation work in this conversation.

  • /fixing-motion-performance <file> Review the file against all rules below and report:

    • violations (quote the exact line or snippet)
    • why it matters (one short sentence)
    • a concrete fix (code-level suggestion)

Do not migrate animation libraries unless explicitly requested. Apply rules within the existing stack.

when to apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • adding or changing UI animations (CSS, WAAPI, Motion, rAF, GSAP)
  • refactoring janky interactions or transitions
  • implementing scroll-linked motion or reveal-on-scroll
  • animating layout, filters, masks, gradients, or CSS variables
  • reviewing components that use will-change, transforms, or measurement

rendering steps glossary

  • composite: transform, opacity
  • paint: color, borders, gradients, masks, images, filters
  • layout: size, position, flow, grid, flex

rule categories by priority

priority category impact
1 never patterns critical
2 choose the mechanism critical
3 measurement high
4 scroll high
5 paint medium-high
6 layers medium
7 blur and filters medium
8 view transitions low
9 tool boundaries critical

quick reference

1. never patterns (critical)

  • do not interleave layout reads and writes in the same frame
  • do not animate layout continuously on large or meaningful surfaces
  • do not drive animation from scrollTop, scrollY, or scroll events
  • no requestAnimationFrame loops without a stop condition
  • do not mix multiple animation systems that each measure or mutate layout

2. choose the mechanism (critical)

  • default to transform and opacity for motion
  • use JS-driven animation only when interaction requires it
  • paint or layout animation is acceptable only on small, isolated surfaces
  • one-shot effects are acceptable more often than continuous motion
  • prefer downgrading technique over removing motion entirely
