# animation-micro-interaction-pack

A set of reusable motion patterns for interfaces: hover effects, entrances and exits, gesture feedback. Useful when a UI feels static and you want it to move without hand-tuning timings.

## What it does

The skill lays out repeatable animation patterns: hover with lift, glow and color shifts, entrances via fade-in, slide-in and zoom-in, exits, loading states like pulse and skeleton waves, plus click and drag feedback. Lists get stagger so items appear one after another.

Inside are `tailwind.config.js` examples with `fade-in`, `slide-up` and `scale-in` keyframes, and Framer Motion snippets using `initial`, `animate` and `transition`. The agent takes these as a starting point and drops them into your component.

The practical half is guidance: keep micro-interactions at 200–300ms, animate `transform` and `opacity`, add easing, and respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. That last one matters — skip it and your animations hurt people with vestibular disorders. Works across Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add patricio0312rev/skills --skill animation-micro-interaction-pack -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add patricio0312rev/skills --skill animation-micro-interaction-pack -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add patricio0312rev/skills --skill animation-micro-interaction-pack -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install patricio0312rev/skills animation-micro-interaction-pack
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add patricio0312rev/skills --skill animation-micro-interaction-pack -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/patricio0312rev/skills --path frontend/animation-micro-interaction-pack
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add patricio0312rev/skills --skill animation-micro-interaction-pack -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/patricio0312rev/skills/tree/HEAD/frontend/animation-micro-interaction-pack/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add hover and active states to a button
- stagger card entrances in a list
- set up keyframes in `tailwind.config.js`
- show a skeleton instead of a spinner while loading
- disable motion under `prefers-reduced-motion`

## Example prompts
- Add a hover effect with lift and glow to the product card
- Stagger the list items in with Framer Motion
- Check that every animation respects prefers-reduced-motion

# Animation & Micro-interaction Pack

Create polished, performant animations and micro-interactions.

## Animation Patterns

**Hover Effects**: Scale, lift (translateY), glow (box-shadow), color shifts
**Entrance**: Fade-in, slide-in, zoom-in with stagger for lists
**Exit**: Fade-out, slide-out, scale-out
**Loading**: Pulse, skeleton waves, progress bars
**Gestures**: Ripple on click, drag feedback, swipe indicators

## Tailwind Animations

```css
/* tailwind.config.js */
animation: {
  'fade-in': 'fadeIn 0.5s ease-out',
  'slide-up': 'slideUp 0.3s ease-out',
  'scale-in': 'scaleIn 0.2s ease-out',
}
```

## Framer Motion Examples

```tsx
<motion.div
  initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
  animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
  transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}
/>
```

## Best Practices

Use 200-300ms for micro-interactions, respect prefers-reduced-motion, animate transform/opacity for performance, add easing functions, stagger list items, provide hover/active states.
