## What it does

motion-lexicon provides a workflow for product motion. It selects a mode for a complete page, a motion recommendation, a multi-step product moment, an implementation, a review, or a new library candidate. The skill covers React pages such as landing pages, dashboards, and settings screens, while keeping the interaction tied to a visible product state.

Its reference material covers components, motion primitives, page composition, product moments, implementation, and review criteria. CSS and candidate-template assets are included as part of the skill’s routing. Composed, implemented, and reviewed interactions must include reduced-motion behavior plus keyboard and focus handling. For a greenfield page, it uses React and TypeScript unless another stack is requested, and it first preserves the host project’s routing, components, tokens, and content language.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --skill motion-lexicon -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --skill motion-lexicon -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --skill motion-lexicon -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon motion-lexicon
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --skill motion-lexicon -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --path skills/motion-lexicon
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon --skill motion-lexicon -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/Ryan-yang125/motion-lexicon/tree/HEAD/skills/motion-lexicon/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a React page in the Motion Lexicon visual language
- choose motion for a visible UI event
- map out a multi-step product interaction
- implement a user-facing motion state change
- review an existing animation and suggest fixes

## Example prompts
- Build a React settings page in the Motion Lexicon visual language, with clear before-and-after states for the main action.
- Recommend motion for a panel that appears after a selection, including reduced-motion and focus behavior.
- Review this component’s animation for jank and give concrete implementation fixes.

name: motion-lexicon
description: Design, build, compose, implement, review, and contribute polished product interfaces with Motion Lexicon components and motion primitives. Use this skill when a user asks for a complete React page, landing page, dashboard, settings screen, or product surface in the Motion Lexicon visual language; asks what motion fits a UI event; needs a single interaction or multi-step product moment; requests implementation code for a user-visible product interaction or motion state change; wants an animation review; or wants to add a Motion Lexicon candidate. Apply it to Chinese and English requests, precise motion terms, and vague product-feeling descriptions. Simple copy edits, static token or breakpoint changes, and data-processing tasks stay outside this skill unless the request also includes a visible interaction or motion decision.

# Motion Lexicon

Motion Lexicon is a design system for product motion. It connects two equal
collections: Motion Primitives describe a precise behavior; Components turn
one or more behaviors into a complete, copy-ready product interaction. Page
composition places those interactions inside a coherent product surface.

Design from the user's product event. Produce code only when it supports a
clear state change, a focused actor, and an accessible handoff.

## Choose a mode

| Signal in the request | Mode | Deliverable |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A complete page, screen, landing page, dashboard, or settings surface | **Build Page** | Page plan, exact Registry composition, working page, and acceptance evidence |
| A feeling, term, or "which animation" question | **Recommend** | Ranked candidates and one recommendation |
| A workflow, transition, or multi-step scene | **Compose** | Motion Blueprint and beat plan |
| A request for production code or a framework adaptation | **Implement** | Portable HTML, CSS, JS, or requested framework code |
| Existing code, a recording, or a report of jank | **Review** | Prioritized diagnosis and concrete fixes |
| A new pattern, example, or proposed library addition | **Contribute** | Candidate record ready for maintainer review |

Apply mode priority deterministically: a complete page or multi-region surface
uses Build Page; an explicit request for code or a framework implementation of
one interaction uses Implement; a request only for a design plan, beat plan, or
Blueprint uses Compose. Implement may create a Blueprint internally and still
delivers the runnable format the user requested. A Review request can return a
revised Blueprint when the current interaction needs a larger change.

## Start every request

1. Preserve the user's language. Use Chinese for Chinese requests and English
