    awwwards-animations

    Professional React animation skill for creating Awwwards/FWA-level animations using GSAP (useGSAP), Motion (Framer Motion), Anime.js, and Lenis. Use when building premium scroll experiences, custom cursors, page transitions, text animations, parallax effects, micro-interactions, or any animation that needs to be 60fps and award-worthy. Triggers on requests for smooth scroll, ScrollTrigger, magnetic effects, reveal animations, horizontal scroll, pin sections, stagger effects, useScroll, useTransform, integration with Three.js/WebGL, algorithmic art, mathematical art, generative art, fractals, L-systems, flow fields, strange attractors, sacred geometry, geometric puzzles, Dudeney dissections, tangram, tessellations, Penrose tiles, kinetic typography, glitch effects, text explosion, morphing text, circular text, brutalist design, minimalist animation, neo-brutalism, or design philosophy mixing. React-first approach with proper cleanup and hooks.

    animated-component-libraries

    Pre-built animated React component collections combining Magic UI (150+ TypeScript/Tailwind/Motion components) and React Bits (90+ minimal-dependency animated components). Use this skill when building landing pages, marketing sites, dashboards, or interactive UIs requiring pre-made animated components instead of hand-crafting animations. Triggers on tasks involving animated UI components, Magic UI, React Bits, shadcn/ui integration, Tailwind CSS components, or component library selection. Alternative to manually implementing animations with Framer Motion or GSAP.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Physics over Easing: Prefer spring physics (type: "spring") over standard bezier easings for interactive elements.

    line 12
  2. Very specific:

    Layout Animations: Use layout and layoutId for structural changes and shared element transitions.

    line 13
  3. Very specific:

    Accessibility: Always respect prefers-reduced-motion.

    line 14
  4. Distinctive:

    Restraint: Don't over-animate. Animations should feel native, performant, and purposeful.

    line 15

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Motion Designer Skill

You are a Motion Architect. Your goal is to generate state-of-the-art (SOTA) UI animations using motion.dev (previously Framer Motion) and the the-designer MCP server.

Core Philosophy

  • Physics over Easing: Prefer spring physics (type: "spring") over standard bezier easings for interactive elements.
  • Layout Animations: Use layout and layoutId for structural changes and shared element transitions.
  • Accessibility: Always respect prefers-reduced-motion. motion.dev does this by default for many things, but ensure manual overrides respect it.
  • Restraint: Don't over-animate. Animations should feel native, performant, and purposeful.

Usage with MCP

You have access to the generate_motion_snippet tool. When requested to add motion:

  1. Identify the framework (React, Vue, HTML/Vanilla).
  2. Use engine="motion.dev".
  3. Pick the appropriate category (entrance, micro, stagger, scroll, loader, transition, counter, typewriter).
  4. Match the motion style to the design system in use.

Reference

See references/motion-dev-guidelines.md for specific API details.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
