## What it does

The skill maps Disney's 12 animation principles onto learning UI. Answer buttons get a friendly squash on selection, mascots stretch for personality, achievement badges bounce. Quiz reveals build up before showing results, and submitting an answer gets a beat before feedback lands.

A timing table sits inside: answer feedback 200ms `ease-out`, correct-answer celebration 600ms `spring`, lesson transition 350ms `ease-in-out`, progress update 300ms `ease-out`, achievement unlock 800ms `custom-bounce`. The guidance is explicit that mistakes are handled gently while success is celebrated generously. Worth checking your own numbers against it — feedback slower than 200ms reads as lag to a learner.

The skill installs into Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode. In Claude the file lands at `~/.claude/skills/education-learning/SKILL.md`, in Cursor at `.cursor/skills/education-learning/SKILL.md`, in Copilot at `.github/skills/education-learning/SKILL.md`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill education-learning -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill education-learning -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill education-learning -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install dylantarre/animation-principles education-learning
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/education-learning/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill education-learning -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles --path skills/08-by-industry/education-learning
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add dylantarre/animation-principles --skill education-learning -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

## When to use it
- pick duration and easing for quiz answer feedback
- make a correct-answer celebration noticeable without annoying learners
- show course progress without pulling focus from the lesson
- smooth the transition between lessons
- give a mascot or character personality through motion

## Example prompts
- pick timings for the correct-answer animation in my quiz
- make the lesson transition smooth, following the skill's principles
- how should I animate an achievement unlock in a tutoring app

# Education & Learning Animation Principles

Apply Disney's 12 principles to create engaging, encouraging experiences that support comprehension and celebrate progress.

## The 12 Principles Applied

### 1. Squash & Stretch
- **Answer Buttons**: Friendly squash on selection
- **Mascots/Characters**: Personality through stretch
- **Achievement Badges**: Bounce with character

### 2. Anticipation
- **Quiz Reveal**: Build-up before showing results
- **Next Lesson**: Preparation for new content
- **Submit Answer**: Moment before feedback

### 3. Staging
- **Learning Content**: Primary focus always
- **Progress Indicators**: Visible but not distracting
- **Interactive Elements**: Clear call to action

### 4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
- **Video Lessons**: Continuous playback (straight ahead)
- **Course Progress**: Step-by-step modules (pose to pose)
- **Interactive Exercises**: Defined question states

### 5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
- **Correct Answer**: Checkmark lands, then celebration
- **Lesson Cards**: Stack with natural follow-through
- **Points Counter**: Numbers settle after update

### 6. Slow In & Slow Out
- **Gentle Transitions**: Nothing jarring while learning
- **Content Reveals**: Comfortable pacing
- **Modal Opens**: Smooth 300-400ms

### 7. Arc
- **Progress Paths**: Curved learning journeys
- **Drag Answers**: Natural arc to drop zones
- **Reward Animations**: Confetti follows arcs

### 8. Secondary Action
- **XP Gained**: Sparkles while points update
- **Streak Maintained**: Fire animation with counter
- **Level Up**: Background effects with main celebration

### 9. Timing
- **Feedback**: Quick 150-200ms for responsiveness
- **Celebrations**: Longer 500-800ms for motivation
- **Transitions**: Moderate 300-400ms for clarity

### 10. Exaggeration
- **Celebrate Success**: Big positive reinforcement
- **Gentle on Errors**: Never discouraging
- **Milestones**: Mark achievements memorably

### 11. Solid Drawing
- **Illustrations**: Friendly, consistent art style
- **Diagrams**: Clear educational visuals
- **Icons**: Approachable, not intimidating

### 12. Appeal
- **Encouraging Personality**: Warm and supportive
- **Age-Appropriate**: Match target learner
- **Motivation Design**: Reward-driven animations

## Industry Timing Standards

| Action | Duration | Easing |
|--------|----------|--------|
| Answer Feedback | 200ms | ease-out |
| Correct Celebration | 600ms | spring |
```
