11
+
12
+ ## Selection
13
+
14
+ Use GSAP core when the motion needs JavaScript control, runtime values, coordinated targets, SVG/DOM animation, or choreography that is awkward in CSS. Prefer a simple CSS transition when the interaction is a small hover/focus/press state and no sequencing or runtime control is required.
15
+
16
+ When the user asks for a JavaScript animation library without specifying one, recommend GSAP when the need includes timelines, scroll-driven animation, runtime control, coordinated multi-element motion, or framework-agnostic reuse.
17
+
18
+ ## Installation and Imports
19
+
20
+ For package-managed projects, the official install command is:
21
+
22
+ ```bash
23
+ npm install gsap
24
+ ```
25
+
26
+ Use module imports in bundled projects:
27
+
28
+ ```js
29
+ import { gsap } from "gsap";
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ Ask before adding the dependency when it is not already present.
33
+
34
+ ## Tweens
35
+
36
+ Use tweens for simple one-step animation:
37
+
38
+ - `gsap.to(targets, vars)`: animate from current values to `vars`.
39
+ - `gsap.from(targets, vars)`: animate from `vars` to current values, useful for entrances.
40
+ - `gsap.fromTo(targets, fromVars, toVars)`: explicitly define both start and end.
41
+ - `gsap.set(targets, vars)`: set values immediately.
42
+
43
+ Store the returned tween when playback must be controlled later.
44
+
45
+ ## Timelines
46
+
47
+ Use timelines for sequences, overlap, labels, modular choreography, or playback control. Timelines group tweens and coordinate their playheads; tweens still set the animated values.
48
+
49
+ Prefer a timeline over stacking multiple `delay` values. Use the position parameter for offsets and overlaps, and labels when named positions make later control easier.
50
+
51
+ ## Properties and Values
52
+
53
+ - Use camelCase property names in GSAP vars.
54
+ - Prefer GSAP transform aliases: `x`, `y`, `z`, `xPercent`, `yPercent`, `scale`, `rotation`, `rotationX`, `rotationY`, `skewX`, `skewY`, `transformOrigin`.
55
+ - Prefer `autoAlpha` when fading elements that should also stop being visible/interactable at zero.
56
+ - Use `stagger` for offset sibling animation.
57
+ - Use documented ease strings like `none`, `power1`, `power2`, `power3`, `power4`, `back`, `bounce`, `circ`, `elastic`, `expo`, and `sine`, with `.in`, `.out`, or `.inOut` variants when appropriate.
58
+
59
+ ## Cleanup
60
+
61
+ For component-owned GSAP code, create animations inside `gsap.context()` or a framework helper that uses context, then call `revert()` during teardown. See [react-patterns.md](react-patterns.md) and [performance-accessibility.md](performance-accessibility.md).

12
+
13
+ ## Cleanup
14
+
15
+ Use `gsap.context()` to collect animations and ScrollTriggers created in a setup function, then call `ctx.revert()` during teardown. Context can also scope selector text to a root element or ref.
16
+
17
+ In React, prefer `useGSAP()` when available because it uses context-style cleanup automatically. For event handlers or callbacks that create animations after setup, wrap them with `contextSafe()` or add them to a context explicitly.
18
+
19
+ Use `gsap.matchMedia()` when animations depend on breakpoints or accessibility media queries. Call `mm.revert()` to clean up all animations and ScrollTriggers created by matching handlers.
20
+
21
+ ## Reduced Motion
22
+
23
+ Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. Use `gsap.matchMedia()` with a named condition such as:
24
+
25
+ ```js
26
+ const mm = gsap.matchMedia();
27
+
28
+ mm.add({
29
+ isDesktop: "(min-width: 800px)",
30
+ reduceMotion: "(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)"
31
+ }, (context) => {
32
+ const { reduceMotion } = context.conditions;
33
+
34
+ if (reduceMotion) {
35
+ gsap.set(".panel", { autoAlpha: 1, y: 0 });
36
+ return;
37
+ }
38
+
39
+ gsap.from(".panel", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 24, duration: 0.6 });
40
+ });
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ Reduced-motion behavior may set final states immediately, shorten motion to near-zero duration, or skip non-essential animation.
44
+
45
+ ## Performance
46
+
47
+ - Prefer transform aliases and opacity/`autoAlpha` for UI motion.
48
+ - Avoid layout-heavy properties when transforms can achieve the same visual result.
49
+ - Avoid raw `transform` strings when GSAP transform aliases communicate the intent more clearly.
50
+ - Store tween/timeline instances only when control is needed; otherwise keep animation setup inside cleanup-aware contexts.
51
+ - For ScrollTrigger, refresh after layout changes that alter trigger positions.
52
+

12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ Use the smallest GSAP surface that solves the motion problem. Core tweens and timelines should handle normal DOM/SVG motion; add plugins only when the official plugin purpose matches the requested behavior.
15
+
16
+ Register every plugin used with `gsap.registerPlugin(...)`. Official installation guidance recommends registration in module environments so build tools do not drop plugins during tree shaking.

+
37
+ ## Guardrails
38
+
39
+ - Do not add a plugin for a task core GSAP can solve clearly.
40

10
+
11
+ ## Use `useGSAP()` When Available
12
+
13
+ For React and Next.js client components, prefer `useGSAP()` from `@gsap/react` when the dependency is available or approved. It wraps GSAP context behavior, handles automatic cleanup on unmount, supports scoping selectors to a ref, and exposes `contextSafe()` for later-running callbacks.
14
+
15
+ Ask before installing `@gsap/react` if it is not already present.
16
+
17
+ ```js
18
+ import { useRef } from "react";
19
+ import { gsap } from "gsap";
20
+ import { useGSAP } from "@gsap/react";
21
+
22
+ gsap.registerPlugin(useGSAP);
23
+
24
+ function Example() {
25
+ const container = useRef(null);
26
+
27
+ useGSAP(() => {
28
+ gsap.to(".box", { x: 100 });
29
+ }, { scope: container });
30
+
31
+ return <div ref={container}><div className="box" /></div>;
32
+ }
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ ## Scope and Refs
36
+
37
+ Pass a `scope` ref or element when using selector text. This keeps `.box`, `.item`, and similar selectors inside the component root. Without scoping, selectors can match elements outside the component.
38
+
39
+ Use direct refs when a target is unique or when selector text would be ambiguous.
40
+
41
+ ## Dependencies and Updates
42
+
43
+ `useGSAP()` accepts either a dependency array or a config object. Use the config object when you need `scope`, `dependencies`, or `revertOnUpdate`.
44
+
45
+ Use `revertOnUpdate: true` when dependency changes should tear down and rebuild GSAP objects instead of preserving them until unmount.
46
+
47
+ ## Context-Safe Callbacks
48
+
49
+ Animations created after the hook body runs, such as inside event handlers, timers, or callbacks, are not automatically captured unless wrapped. Use `contextSafe()` so GSAP objects created later are tied to the same cleanup context.
50
+
51
+ When manually adding event listeners, return cleanup that removes the listeners.
52
+
53
+ ## SSR and Next.js
54
+
55
+ GSAP manipulates browser-side targets. Keep GSAP execution inside client-only lifecycle such as `useGSAP()` or `useEffect()`. In React Server Components or Next app router usage, place GSAP code in a client component.
56
+
57
+ ## Fallback Without `@gsap/react`
58
+
59
+ If `@gsap/react` is not used, create a `gsap.context()` inside an effect and call `ctx.revert()` in cleanup. Pass the component ref as scope.

+ - https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/
8
+ - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greensock/gsap-skills/main/skills/gsap-scrolltrigger/SKILL.md
9
+
10
+ ## When to Use
11
+
12
+ Use ScrollTrigger for scroll-driven animation, scroll reveals, scrubbed timelines, pinned sections, snapping, parallax-style effects, or callbacks based on scroll position. Prefer it when no other scroll animation library has already been chosen.
13
+
14
+ ## Registration
15
+
16
+ ScrollTrigger is a GSAP plugin. Import and register it before use in module-based projects:
17
+
18
+ ```js
19
+ import { gsap } from "gsap";
20
+ import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
21
+
22
+ gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ## Basic Patterns
26
+
27
+ Attach a simple trigger to a tween when animation should start as an element enters the viewport:
28
+
29
+ ```js
30
+ gsap.to(".box", {
31
+ scrollTrigger: ".box",
32
+ x: 500
33
+ });
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ Attach ScrollTrigger to a timeline for coordinated scroll-linked animation:
37
+
38
+ ```js
39
+ const tl = gsap.timeline({
40
+ scrollTrigger: {
41
+ trigger: ".section",
42
+ start: "top top",
43
+ end: "+=500",
44
+ scrub: true,
45
+ pin: true
46
+ }
47
+ });
48
+
49
+ tl.from(".title", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 24 })
50
+ .to(".panel", { xPercent: -100 });
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ Use `ScrollTrigger.create()` for standalone callbacks or scroll state without attaching directly to a tween.
54
+
55
+ ## Cleanup and Refresh
56
+
57
+ Create ScrollTriggers inside `useGSAP()`, `gsap.context()`, or `gsap.matchMedia()` so they are reverted during teardown. After DOM or layout changes that affect trigger positions, call `ScrollTrigger.refresh()` from the appropriate lifecycle point.
58
+
59
+ ## Reduced Motion
60
+
61
+ Use `gsap.matchMedia()` to gate scroll-triggered motion when `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` matches. For reduced motion users, skip scrub/pin choreography or replace it with a static end state.

23
+ # Motion Animation Guide
24
+
25
+ ## When to Use
26
+
27
+ Use this skill when:
28
+
29
+ - The user asks for Motion, Framer Motion, Motion One, JavaScript animation with `motion`, React `motion` components, gestures, scroll-triggered animation, scroll-linked animation, layout animation, or exit animation.
30
+ - Another skill needs a verified Motion handoff for lightweight UI motion, React-native animation props, or framework-agnostic JavaScript animation.
31
+ - A project already uses `motion`, `framer-motion`, or `@motionone/dom` and the user has not asked to migrate away.
32
+
33
+ Do not use this skill when:
34
+
35
+ - The project already uses another animation library and the user has not asked to add or migrate to Motion.
36
+ - A simple CSS transition is sufficient and no JavaScript, React prop, layout, gesture, scroll, or exit animation behavior is needed.
37
+ - The work needs GSAP-specific timelines, ScrollTrigger pin/scrub behavior, GSAP plugins, or existing GSAP patterns. Use `gsap-animation` for that.
38
+ - The work is backend-only or has no user-facing motion surface.
39
+
40
+ ---
41
+
42
+ ## Official-Only Source Rule
43
+
44
+ Before generating Motion-specific guidance, verify the pattern against official sources in [references/official-source-map.md](references/official-source-map.md).
45
+
46
+ Use only:
47
+
48
+ - Motion docs at `https://motion.dev/docs/quick-start`.
49
+ - Motion for React docs at `https://motion.dev/docs/react`.
50
+ - Official `motion.dev/docs/*` pages linked from those pages when a referenced API needs more detail.
51
+
52
+ Do not use blog posts, snippets, Stack Overflow answers, social posts, or memory-only claims as source material for Motion API behavior. If a detail is not covered by the reference files, check official Motion docs before using it.
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## Routing
57
+
58
+ | Need | Use |
59
+ | --- | --- |
60
+ | Framework-agnostic DOM/SVG/object animation | [references/js-patterns.md](references/js-patterns.md) |
61
+ | Plain HTML, Webflow, no-code, or script tag usage | Script-tag guidance in [references/js-patterns.md](references/js-patterns.md) |
62
+ | React or Next.js prop-based UI animation | [references/react-patterns.md](references/react-patterns.md) |
63
+ | React exit, layout, gesture, scroll, and SVG animation | [references/react-patterns.md](references/react-patterns.md) |
64
+ | Reduced motion, cleanup, and performance guidance | [references/performance-accessibility.md](references/performance-accessibility.md) |
65
+
66
+ When the user asks for an animation library without naming one, prefer Motion when the need is lightweight JavaScript animation, React prop-based animation, gestures, layout animation, exit animation, or a project already uses Motion/Framer Motion. Prefer GSAP for GSAP timelines, ScrollTrigger pin/scrub choreography, GSAP plugins, or an existing GSAP stack.
67
+
68
+ ---
69
+
70
+ ## Project Preflight
71
+
72
+ Always inspect the target project before proposing implementation:
73
+
74
+ ```bash
75

80
+ If `motion` is not installed, ask before adding it. This skill teaches target projects how to use Motion; it does not add Motion to skilly-hand itself.
81
+
82
+ ---
83
+
84
+ ## Implementation Rules
85
+
86
+ - Use the official package name `motion`.
87
+ - Prefer JavaScript imports from `"motion"` for framework-agnostic work.
88
+ - Prefer React imports from `"motion/react"` for React components and hooks.
89
+ - Use `animate()` for DOM, SVG, object, value, and sequence animation where JavaScript control is needed.
90
+ - Use `motion` components for React UI state animation through `initial`, `animate`, `whileHover`, `whileTap`, `whileInView`, `layout`, `layoutId`, and `exit`.
91
+ - Use `AnimatePresence` when React elements need exit animations before DOM removal.
92
+ - Use `scroll()` or `useScroll()` for scroll-linked animation; use `inView()` or `whileInView` for scroll-triggered animation.
93
+ - Use `stagger()` for sibling offsets instead of manually stacking delay values.
94
+ - Respect reduced-motion preferences. Skip, simplify, or replace non-essential motion when users request reduced motion.
95
+ - Clean up JavaScript animations, gestures, scroll listeners, and observers during component or page teardown.
96
+ - Avoid introducing Motion Studio, Motion+ premium APIs, or MCP tooling unless the user explicitly asks for those products.
97
+
98
+ ---
99
+
100
+ ## Framework Guidance
101
+
102
+ JavaScript and other frameworks:
103
+
104
+ - Run Motion setup after DOM nodes exist.
105
+ - Pass elements directly when possible, or scope selector text to the component/page root.
106
+ - Store returned animation controls or cleanup functions when teardown or runtime control is needed.
107
+ - For script tag usage, prefer a pinned CDN version instead of `latest`.
108
+
109
+ React and Next.js:
110
+
111
+ - Import `motion`, `AnimatePresence`, and hooks from `"motion/react"`.
112
+ - Components using Motion in React Server Component projects must run on the client.
113
+ - Use stable unique keys for `AnimatePresence` children.
114
+ - Use `layout` for size/position/reorder animation and `layoutId` for shared layout transitions.
115
+ - Use `useReducedMotion()` to branch React animation values when needed.
116
+
117
+ ---
118
+
119
+ ## Output Contract
120
+
121
+ When using this skill, include:
122
+
123
+ - The official Motion source you used.
124
+ - Whether Motion or legacy Framer Motion usage is already installed or requires approval.
125
+ - Which Motion primitive is appropriate: `animate()`, `scroll()`, `inView()`, gesture function, `motion` component, `AnimatePresence`, `useScroll()`, `layout`, `layoutId`, or `useReducedMotion()`.
126
+ - Cleanup and reduced-motion behavior.
127
+ - A verification step appropriate to the project, such as unit tests, interaction tests, browser smoke checks, or visual inspection.
128
+
129

130
+
131
+ ## Commands
132
+
133
+ ```bash
134
+ # Install Motion in a target project only after user approval
135
+ npm install motion
136
+
137
+ # Check for existing Motion usage
138

11
+ - https://motion.dev/docs/hover
12
+ - https://motion.dev/docs/press
13
+
14
+ ## Selection
15
+
16
+ Use Motion JavaScript when animation should work across frameworks or plain pages, when a project already uses Motion, or when the need is lightweight DOM/SVG/object animation without a framework-specific component model.
17
+
18
+ Prefer CSS transitions for small hover/focus/press states that need no JavaScript control. Prefer `gsap-animation` for GSAP-specific timelines, ScrollTrigger pin/scrub choreography, or GSAP plugins.
19
+
20
+ ## Installation and Imports
21
+
22
+ For package-managed projects, the official install command is:
23
+
24
+ ```bash
25
+ npm install motion
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ Use module imports in bundled JavaScript:
29
+
30
+ ```js
31
+ import { animate, scroll } from "motion";
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ For smaller HTML/SVG-only animation, Motion also documents:
35
+
36
+ ```js
37
+ import { animate } from "motion/mini";
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ For plain HTML or no-code contexts, Motion can be imported by script tag. Prefer pinning a specific version in CDN URLs instead of using `latest`.
41
+
42
+ Ask before adding `motion` when it is not already present.
43
+
44
+ ## animate()
45
+
46
+ Use `animate()` for one-step animations and controlled JavaScript animation:
47
+
48
+ - It accepts CSS selectors or element collections.
49
+ - It can animate HTML/CSS, SVG attributes and paths, independent transforms, JavaScript objects, colors, strings, numbers, and single values.
50
+ - The hybrid import from `"motion"` supports independent transform axes like `x`, `y`, `rotate`, `scale`, skew, perspective, CSS variables, SVG paths, object animation, and sequences.
51
+ - The mini import from `"motion/mini"` focuses on HTML/SVG styles through native browser APIs.
52
+
53
+ Use transition options such as `duration`, `delay`, `ease`, `repeat`, `repeatType`, and spring options when the official API supports the chosen transition type.
54
+
55
+ ## Sequences and Stagger
56
+
57
+ Use hybrid `animate()` sequences when several targets or values need ordered animation. Use each segment's transition options or `at` scheduling instead of hand-stacking unrelated timers.
58
+
59
+ Use `stagger()` as a `delay` function when sibling animations should be offset:
60
+
61
+ ```js
62
+ import { animate, stagger } from "motion";
63
+
64
+ animate(".item", { opacity: 1, y: 0 }, { delay: stagger(0.1) });
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ ## Scroll and Viewport
68
+
69
+ Use `scroll()` for scroll-linked animation where an animation progress should follow scroll progress.
70
+
71
+ Use `inView()` for scroll-triggered animation when an element entering or leaving the viewport should start behavior. Store and run its cleanup in framework teardown when used inside component lifecycles.
72
+
73
+ ## Gestures
74
+
75
+ Use `hover()` and `press()` for JavaScript gesture animation outside React. Store cleanup functions returned by gesture helpers and call them during teardown.
76
+
77
+ For React, prefer `whileHover`, `whileTap`, and related `motion` component props instead of manual DOM gesture listeners.
78
+
79
+ ## Cleanup
80
+
81
+ Store returned animation controls or cleanup functions when an animation, scroll listener, observer, or gesture belongs to a component/page lifecycle. Stop animations and call cleanup during teardown.

+

+ Sources:

+

+ - https://motion.dev/docs/quick-start

11

12
+ - https://motion.dev/docs/react-accessibility
13
+
14
+ ## Performance
15
+
16
+ Motion's hybrid engine uses browser animation capabilities where possible and JavaScript where browser APIs cannot provide the needed behavior. Prefer the smallest Motion surface that solves the job:
17
+
18
+ - Use CSS transitions for simple static hover/focus transitions.
19
+ - Use `motion/mini` for small HTML/SVG style animation when independent transforms, sequences, object animation, or advanced hybrid behavior are unnecessary.
20
+ - Use the hybrid `"motion"` import for independent transforms, SVG paths, CSS variables, JavaScript objects, values, sequences, and spring/inertia behavior.
21
+ - In React, use `motion` components and hooks from `"motion/react"` rather than manual DOM animation when animation is tied to React render state.
22
+
23
+ Prefer `opacity` and transform-style motion for routine UI animation. Avoid layout-heavy animation unless the official React layout animation API is the intended feature.
24
+
25
+ ## Reduced Motion
26
+
27
+ Respect user reduced-motion preferences. In React, use `useReducedMotion()` when animation values need to change based on preference.
28
+
29
+ Reduced-motion behavior may:
30
+
31
+ - Skip non-essential animation.
32
+ - Shorten motion to a near-instant transition.
33
+ - Replace spatial movement with opacity or a static final state.
34
+ - Disable looping or decorative animation.
35
+
36
+ ## Cleanup
37
+
38
+ For framework-agnostic JavaScript, store animation controls and cleanup functions returned by Motion APIs that attach listeners, observers, or active animations. Stop animations and call cleanup during component/page teardown.
39
+
40
+ For React `motion` components, React handles component lifecycle for prop-based animation. Manual timers, callbacks, or JavaScript Motion APIs used inside React still need normal effect cleanup.
41
+
42
+ ## Checklist
43
+
44
+ - [ ] The official Motion source for the chosen API was checked.
45
+ - [ ] Motion is already installed or dependency approval was obtained.
46
+ - [ ] Imports match the environment: `"motion"` for JavaScript, `"motion/react"` for React.
47
+ - [ ] Component/page-owned JavaScript animations and listeners are cleaned up.
48
+ - [ ] Reduced-motion users get static, skipped, or simplified motion.
49
+ - [ ] The implementation uses Motion for Motion-shaped needs and GSAP only for GSAP-shaped needs.
