## What it does

This skill adapts Disney's twelve animation principles for banking and payment software. Playful stretching feels wrong around real money. Money requires restraint. The guide sets exact rules for card flips and balance counters.

Clear timing benchmarks anchor each visual interaction. Button feedback takes 150ms with ease-out, while balance counters update in 250ms. Security verifications stay between 400ms and 500ms. Deliberate pacing gives users confidence.

Screen loading follows strict staging. The account balance appears first, followed by payment cards and recent activity. Flashy transitions are avoided because playful motion damages trust when managing personal funds.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

# Fintech & Banking Animation Principles

Apply Disney's 12 principles to create trustworthy, secure-feeling experiences that handle money with appropriate gravitas.

## The 12 Principles Applied

### 1. Squash & Stretch
- **Restrained Use**: Money is serious, avoid playful squash
- **Number Counters**: Subtle stretch as values update
- **Card Flip**: Slight flex when revealing card details

### 2. Anticipation
- **Transaction Submit**: Brief pause before processing
- **Balance Updates**: Moment of preparation before reveal
- **Security Checks**: Visual preparation for verification steps

### 3. Staging
- **Balance First**: Account balance is hero element
- **Transaction Flow**: Clear focus on current step
- **Security Badges**: Prominent but not distracting

### 4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
- **Money Transfers**: Clear step-by-step (pose to pose)
- **Live Prices**: Continuous smooth updates (straight ahead)
- **Transaction History**: Sequential reveal on scroll

### 5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
- **Payment Success**: Checkmark lands, then amount confirms
- **Dashboard Load**: Balance first, then cards, then transactions
- **Charts**: Axis appears, then data animates in

### 6. Slow In & Slow Out
- **All Financial Actions**: Smooth, deliberate easing
- **Card Animations**: Premium feel with ease-in-out
- **Modal Transitions**: Confident 300-400ms movements

### 7. Arc
- **Money Flow**: Visualize transfers with curved paths
- **Spending Charts**: Smooth arcs in pie/donut charts
- **Card Selection**: Arc motion between cards

### 8. Secondary Action
- **Transfer Success**: Subtle checkmark while balance updates
- **Bill Paid**: Confetti-lite while confirmation appears
- **Investment Gain**: Green glow during number update

### 9. Timing
- **Standard Actions**: 250-350ms for confident feel
- **Security Verification**: Deliberate 400-500ms
- **Quick Feedback**: 150ms for input validation

### 10. Exaggeration
- **Very Minimal**: Financial data requires accuracy
- **Success Moments**: Slight emphasis on positive outcomes
- **Fraud Alerts**: Appropriate urgency, not alarm

### 11. Solid Drawing
- **Number Legibility**: Clear typography at all sizes
- **Card Realism**: Proper perspective and shadows
- **Chart Accuracy**: Data visualization must be precise

### 12. Appeal
- **Premium Feel**: Smooth, Apple Pay-like refinement
- **Trust Through Restraint**: Less is more
- **Professional Personality**: Confident, not playful

## Industry Timing Standards

| Action | Duration | Easing |
|--------|----------|--------|
| Button Feedback | 150ms | ease-out |
| Card Flip | 400ms | ease-in-out |
| Transfer Step | 300ms | ease-in-out |
| Balance Update | 250ms | ease-out |
```
