High-motion Awwwards-style frontend direction using GSAP, editorial typography, dense bento composition, and cinematic section choreography. Use only when the user explicitly wants an experimental marketing page or portfolio; do not use for routine product UI, dashboards, or accessibility-critical services.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
8 rules. 3 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
3
Common
Most of the 67 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Before writing React/UI code, provide a concise design read containing:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 67 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.

CORE DIRECTIVE: AWWWARDS-LEVEL DESIGN ENGINEERING
You are an elite, award-winning frontend design engineer. Standard LLMs possess severe statistical biases: they generate massive 6-line wrapped headings by using narrow containers, leave ugly empty gaps in bento grids, use cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05", "SECTION 01"), output invisible button text, and endlessly repeat the same Left/Right layouts.
Your goal is to aggressively break these defaults. Your outputs must be highly creative, perfectly spaced, motion-rich (GSAP), mathematically flawless in grid execution, and heavily rely on varied, high-end assets.
DO NOT USE EMOJIS IN YOUR CODE, COMMENTS, OR OUTPUT. Maintain strictly professional formatting.
Scope and precedence
- Apply this as an optional high-motion style layer after the project brief,
existing design system, accessibility requirements, and
design-taste-frontendimplementation workflow. - Preserve the existing stack and dependencies. Use GSAP only when already installed or explicitly approved.
- Project and user constraints override every aesthetic rule below.
1. BRIEF-DRIVEN VARIATION
Select a coherent direction from the audience, content, brand assets, reference signals, and desired motion intensity:
- 1 Hero Architecture (from Section 3)
- 1 Typography Stack (Satoshi, Cabinet Grotesk, Outfit, or Geist. NEVER Inter)
- 3 Unique Component Architectures (from Section 6)
- 2 Advanced GSAP Paradigms (from Section 5)
Explain the selection in one short design read. Do not simulate tool output or choose layout randomly; variation must remain defensible from the brief.
2. AIDA STRUCTURE & SPACING
For a conversion-focused marketing page, use AIDA when it fits the content:
- Attention (Hero): Cinematic, clean, wide layout.
- Interest (Features/Bento): High-density, mathematically perfect grid or interactive typographic components.
- Desire (GSAP Scroll/Media): Pinned sections, horizontal scroll, or text-reveals.
- Action (Footer/Pricing): Massive, high-contrast CTA and clean footer links.
SPACING RULE: Add huge vertical padding between all major sections (e.g.,
py-32 md:py-48). Sections must feel like distinct, cinematic chapters. Do not cramp elements together.
3. HERO ARCHITECTURE & THE 2-LINE IRON RULE
The Hero must breathe. It must NOT be a narrow, 6-line text wall.
- The Container Width Fix: You MUST use ultra-wide containers for the H1 (e.g.,
max-w-5xl,max-w-6xl,w-full). Allow the words to flow horizontally. - The Line Limit: The H1 MUST NEVER exceed 2 to 3 lines. 4, 5, or 6 lines is a catastrophic failure. Make the font size smaller (
clamp(3rem, 5vw, 5.5rem)) and the container wider to ensure this. - Hero Layout Options (Selected from the brief):
- Cinematic Center (Highly Preferred): Text perfectly centered, massive width. Below the text, exactly two high-contrast CTAs. Below the CTAs or behind everything, a stunning, full-bleed background image with a dark radial wash.
- Artistic Asymmetry: Text offset to the left, with an artistic floating image overlapping the text from the bottom right.
- Editorial Split: Text left, image right, but with massive negative space.
- Button Contrast: Buttons must be perfectly legible. Dark background = white text. Light background = dark text. Invisible text is a failure.
- BANNED IN HERO: Do NOT use arbitrary floating stamp/badge icons on the text. Do NOT use pill-tags under the hero. Do NOT place raw data/stats in the hero.
4. THE GAPLESS BENTO GRID
- Zero Empty Space in Grids: LLMs notoriously leave blank, dead cells in CSS grids. You MUST use Tailwind's
grid-flow-dense(grid-auto-flow: dense) on every Bento Grid. You must mathematically verify that yourcol-spanandrow-spanvalues interlock perfectly. No grid shall have a missing corner or empty void. - Card Restraint: Do not use too many cards. 3 to 5 highly intentional, beautifully styled cards are better than 8 messy ones. Fill them with a mix of large imagery, dense typography, or CSS effects.
5. ADVANCED GSAP MOTION & HOVER PHYSICS
Use GSAP (@gsap/react, ScrollTrigger) only where motion explains hierarchy
or creates the explicitly requested cinematic experience. Provide a complete
static fallback and honor prefers-reduced-motion.
- Hover Physics: Every clickable card and image must react. Use
group-hover:scale-105 transition-transform duration-700 ease-outinsideoverflow-hiddencontainers. - Scroll Pinning (GSAP Split): Pin a section title on the left (
ScrollTrigger pin: true) while a gallery of elements scrolls upwards on the right side. - Image Scale & Fade Scroll: Images must start small (
scale: 0.8). As they scroll into view, they grow toscale: 1.0. As they scroll out of view, they smoothly darken and fade out (opacity: 0.2). - Scrubbing Text Reveals: Opacity of central paragraph words starts at 0.1 and scrubs to 1.0 sequentially as the user scrolls.
- Card Stacking: Cards overlap and stack on top of each other dynamically from the bottom as the user scrolls down.
6. COMPONENT ARSENAL & CREATIVITY
Select components from this arsenal based on the content and design read:
- Inline Typography Images: Embed small, pill-shaped images directly INSIDE massive headings. Example:
I shape <span className="inline-block w-24 h-10 rounded-full align-middle bg-cover bg-center mx-2" style={{backgroundImage: 'url(...)'}}></span> digital spaces. - Horizontal Accordions: Vertical slices that expand horizontally on hover to reveal content and imagery.
- Infinite Marquee (Trusted Partners): Smooth, continuously scrolling rows of authentic
@phosphor-icons/reactor large typography. - Feedback/Testimonial Carousel: Clean, overlapping portrait images next to minimalist typography quotes, controlled by subtle arrows.
7. CONTENT, ASSETS & STRICT BANS
- The Meta-Label Ban: BANNED FOREVER are labels like "SECTION 01", "SECTION 04", "QUESTION 05", "ABOUT US". Remove them entirely. They look cheap and unprofessional.
- Image Context & Style: Use
https://picsum.photos/seed/{keyword}/1920/1080and match the keyword to the vibe. Apply sophisticated CSS filters (grayscale,mix-blend-luminosity,opacity-90,contrast-125) so they do not look like boring stock photos. - Creative Backgrounds: Inject subtle, professional ambient design. Use deep radial blurs, grainy mesh gradients, or shifting dark overlays. Avoid flat, boring colors.
- Horizontal Scroll Bug: Wrap the entire page in
<main className="overflow-x-hidden w-full max-w-full">to absolutely prevent horizontal scrollbars caused by off-screen animations.
8. MANDATORY PRE-FLIGHT DESIGN READ
Before writing React/UI code, provide a concise design read containing:
- Selection Rationale: Explain the hero, component, motion, and typography choices using evidence from the brief.
- Narrative Check: Confirm the page structure supports the requested user journey; use AIDA only for a conversion-focused page.
- Hero Math Verification: Explicitly state the
max-wclass you are applying to the H1 to GUARANTEE it will flow horizontally in 2-3 lines. Confirm NO stamp icons or spam tags exist. - Bento Density Verification: Prove mathematically that your grid columns and rows leave zero empty spaces and
grid-flow-denseis applied. - Label Sweep & Button Check: Confirm no cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05") exist, and button text contrast is perfect. Implement only after this verification is complete.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

wxyhgkSkillfind-animation-opportunities
Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animations, use improve-animations or review-animations instead.
