animation-motion-design

animation-motion-design is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for adding animations, page transitions, gestures, and small interface interactions with Motion and the browser View Transitions API. It also covers performance and accessibility settings such as reduced motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing component animations, drag or hover gestures, exit transitions, page navigation effects, or reduced-motion support.
Why use it?
It helps animations stay responsive and avoids motion that can overwhelm or harm users who prefer less movement. The rules also address common performance problems such as unnecessary layout work.

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

animation-motion-design 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 15d 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.

Animation & Motion Design

Patterns for building performant, accessible animations using Motion (formerly Framer Motion, 18M+ weekly npm downloads) and the View Transitions API (cross-browser support in 2026). Covers layout animations, gesture interactions, exit transitions, micro-interactions, and motion accessibility.

Quick Reference

Rule File Impact When to Use
Layout Animations rules/motion-layout.md HIGH Shared layout transitions, FLIP animations, layoutId
Gesture Interactions rules/motion-gestures.md HIGH Drag, hover, tap with spring physics
Exit Animations rules/motion-exit.md HIGH AnimatePresence, unmount transitions
View Transitions API rules/view-transitions-api.md HIGH Page navigation, cross-document transitions
Motion Accessibility rules/motion-accessibility.md CRITICAL prefers-reduced-motion, cognitive load
Motion Performance rules/motion-performance.md HIGH 60fps, GPU compositing, layout thrash

Total: 6 rules across 3 categories

Decision Table — Motion vs View Transitions API

Scenario Recommendation Why
Component mount/unmount Motion AnimatePresence handles lifecycle
Page navigation transitions View Transitions API Built-in browser support, works with any router
Complex interruptible animations Motion Spring physics, gesture interruption
Simple crossfade between pages View Transitions API Zero JS bundle cost
Drag/reorder interactions Motion drag prop with layout animations
Shared element across routes View Transitions API viewTransitionName CSS property
Scroll-triggered animations Motion useInView, useScroll hooks
Multi-step orchestrated sequences Motion staggerChildren, variants

Quick Start

Motion — Component Animation

import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"

const fadeInUp = {
  initial: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
  animate: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },
  exit: { opacity: 0, y: -10 },
  transition: { type: "spring", stiffness: 300, damping: 24 },
}

function Card({ item }: { item: Item }) {
  return (
    <motion.div {...fadeInUp} layout layoutId={item.id}>
      {item.content}
    </motion.div>
  )
}

function CardList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
  return (
    <AnimatePresence mode="wait">
      {items.map((item) => (
        <Card key={item.id} item={item} />
      ))}
    </AnimatePresence>
  )
}
