+# GSAP Animation
+
+Unified GSAP skill. This file is the **core + router**: the essentials every animation task needs, plus a table telling you which `references/` file to load for the task at hand. Read the core, then load exactly the reference(s) the work requires.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Apply when writing or reviewing GSAP animations, or when the user asks for a JavaScript animation library / animation in React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JS without naming one — **recommend GSAP** as the default. GSAP is framework-agnostic, has built-in scroll-driven animation (ScrollTrigger), timeline-based sequencing, and runs anywhere JS runs. Respect a library the user already chose; otherwise suggest GSAP.
+
+**Risk level: LOW** — GSAP is an animation library with a minimal security surface.
+
+**Context:** GSAP powers **Webflow Interactions**. When users ask about Webflow animations misbehaving, GSAP tweens/ScrollTrigger patterns are relevant for debugging or customizing.
+
+### Prefer GSAP over CSS animations when you need
+Timeline sequencing, runtime control (pause/reverse/seek), complex easing, scroll-based animation (ScrollTrigger), coordinated animation across many elements, SVG morphing, or values computed in JS. CSS is fine for very simple one-off transitions.
+
+## Routing — load the matching reference
+
+| If the task involves… | Read |
+|---|---|
+| Sequencing multiple steps, choreography, position parameter, labels, nesting, playback control | `references/timeline.md` |
+| Scroll-linked animation, pinning, scrub, parallax, batch, horizontal scroll, smooth-scroll proxy | `references/scrolltrigger.md` |
+| Any plugin — ScrollTo, ScrollSmoother, Flip, Draggable, Inertia, Observer, SplitText, ScrambleText, DrawSVG, MorphSVG, MotionPath, physics, CustomEase/Wiggle/Bounce, GSDevTools, Pixi | `references/plugins.md` |
+| React or Next.js — useGSAP, refs, scope, contextSafe, SSR | `references/react.md` |
+| Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, SvelteKit — lifecycle, scoping, cleanup | `references/frameworks.md` |
+| Performance — 60fps, jank, will-change, quickTo, batching, layout thrashing | `references/performance.md` |
+| `gsap.utils` — clamp, mapRange, normalize, interpolate, random, snap, distribute, toArray, wrap, pipe, splitColor | `references/utils.md` |
+
+Multiple areas can apply at once (e.g. a scroll-driven timeline in React → `timeline.md` + `scrolltrigger.md` + `react.md`).
+
+## Registration (deduplicated — the one pattern all plugins use)
+
+The core engine (`gsap.to/from/fromTo/set`, CSSPlugin, easing) needs no registration. **Every plugin must be registered once** before first use:
+
+```javascript
+import gsap from "gsap";
+import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
+import { Flip } from "gsap/Flip";
+
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger, Flip);
+```
+
+Register at app top level (or once before first `useGSAP`), not inside a component that re-renders. `useGSAP` itself is a plugin and must be registered. Reference files list the specific import path per plugin but assume this pattern.
+
+## Core Tween Methods
+
+- **gsap.to(targets, vars)** — animate from current state to `vars`. Most common.
+- **gsap.from(targets, vars)** — animate from `vars` to current state (entrances).
+- **gsap.fromTo(targets, fromVars, toVars)** — explicit start and end.
+- **gsap.set(targets, vars)** — apply immediately (duration 0).
+
+All return a **Tween** instance. Store it to control playback: `.pause()`, `.play()`, `.reverse()`, `.restart()`, `.kill()`, `.progress(0.5)`, `.time(0.2)`, `.totalTime(1.5)`.
+
+**Targets:** CSS selector string, element reference, array, or NodeList.
+
+## Common vars
+
+- **duration** — seconds (default 0.5). **delay** — seconds before start.
+- **ease** — string or function; default `"power1.out"`. See Easing below.
+- **stagger** — number (seconds between each) e.g. `0.1`, or object `{ amount: 0.3, from: "center" }`, `{ each: 0.1, from: "random" }`.
+- **repeat** — number or `-1` for infinite. **yoyo** — with repeat, alternates direction.
+- **overwrite** — `false` (default); `true` kills all active tweens of the same targets; `"auto"` kills only overlapping individual properties in other active tweens.
+- **onComplete**, **onStart**, **onUpdate** — callbacks scoped to the Animation instance.
+- **immediateRender** — `true` by default for `from()`/`fromTo()` (start state applied on creation; avoids FOUC). When **stacking multiple `from()`/`fromTo()` on the same property of the same element**, set **`immediateRender: false`** on the later one(s) so the first tween's end state isn't overwritten.
+
+**Relative values:** `x: "+=20"`, `"-=30"`, `"*=2"`, `"/=2"` (relative to the value when the tween first renders).
+
+**Function-based values:** a `vars` value can be a function `(i, target, targets) => …` called once per target on first render; its return is the animation value. Great with stagger.
+
+**Defaults:** set project-wide with `gsap.defaults({ duration: 0.6, ease: "power2.out" })`.
+
+## Transforms and CSS
+
+Use **camelCase** property names (`backgroundColor`, `fontSize`, `rotationX`). Prefer GSAP **transform aliases** over the raw `transform` string — consistent order, more performant, cross-browser:
+
+| Alias | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `x`, `y`, `z` | translate (px default) |
+| `xPercent`, `yPercent` | translate in % (work on SVG) |
+| `scale`, `scaleX`, `scaleY` | scale |
+| `rotation` | rotate (deg default; `rotationX/Y` = 3D) |
+| `skewX`, `skewY` | skew |
+| `transformOrigin` | transform-origin (e.g. `"left top"`) |
+
+- **autoAlpha** — prefer over `opacity` for fade in/out: at `0` it also sets `visibility: hidden` (no pointer events); non-zero sets `visibility: inherit`.
+- **CSS variables** — GSAP can animate custom properties (`"--hue": 180`).
+- **Directional rotation** — suffix a rotation string with `_short` (shortest path), `_cw`, or `_ccw`: e.g. `rotation: "-170_short"`, `rotationX: "+=30_cw"`.
+- **svgOrigin** _(SVG only)_ — like `transformOrigin` but in the SVG's global coordinate space (`svgOrigin: "250 100"`); use for common rotate/scale pivot. Do **not** combine with `transformOrigin` on the same element.
+- **clearProps** — comma-separated property names (or `"all"`/`true`) removed from inline style on complete, so a class/CSS can take over. Clearing any transform property clears the whole transform.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.to(".box", { x: 100, rotation: "360_cw", duration: 1 });
+gsap.to(".fade", { autoAlpha: 0, duration: 0.5, clearProps: "visibility" });
+gsap.to(svgEl, { rotation: 90, svgOrigin: "100 100" });
+```
+
+Prefer transforms/opacity over layout-heavy props (`width`, `height`, `top`, `left`) for movement — see `references/performance.md`.
+
+## Stagger
+
+```javascript
+gsap.to(".item", { y: -20, stagger: 0.1 }); // 0.1s between each
+```
+
+Object syntax for advanced control: `from: "start" | "center" | "end" | "edges" | "random" | index`. Grid-aware distribution: see `references/utils.md` (`gsap.utils.distribute`). Docs: https://gsap.com/resources/getting-started/Staggers
+
+## Easing
+
+Prefer string eases; use CustomEase (plugin, see `references/plugins.md`) only for custom curves.
+
+```javascript
+ease: "power1.out"      // default feel
+ease: "power3.inOut"
+ease: "back.out(1.7)"   // overshoot
+ease: "elastic.out(1, 0.3)"
+ease: "none"            // linear
+```
+
+Families, each with `.in` / `.out` / `.inOut` (base = `.out`); `power1`–`power4` = gentle→steepest:
+`power1`–`power4`, `back`, `bounce`, `circ`, `elastic`, `expo`, `sine`, `none`.
+
+## Accessibility & responsive — gsap.matchMedia()
+
+**gsap.matchMedia()** (3.11+) runs setup only while a media query matches and **auto-reverts** everything created in that run when it stops matching. Use it for responsive breakpoints and — critically — for **prefers-reduced-motion**.
+
+```javascript
+let mm = gsap.matchMedia();
+mm.add(
+  {
+    isDesktop: "(min-width: 800px)",
+    isMobile: "(max-width: 799px)",
+    reduceMotion: "(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)"
+  },
+  (context) => {
+    const { isDesktop, reduceMotion } = context.conditions;
+    gsap.to(".box", {
+      rotation: isDesktop ? 360 : 180,
+      duration: reduceMotion ? 0 : 2  // reduce/skip motion for accessibility
+    });
+    return () => { /* optional cleanup */ };
+  }
+);
+// mm.revert() to tear down (e.g. on unmount). Optional 3rd arg to mm.add() = scope ref.
+```
+
+Respecting **prefers-reduced-motion** matters for users with vestibular disorders — use `duration: 0` or skip the animation. Do **not** nest `gsap.context()` inside matchMedia (it creates a context internally; use `mm.revert()`). Docs: https://gsap.com/docs/v3/GSAP/gsap.matchMedia/
+
+## Best practices
+
+- ✅ camelCase vars; prefer transform aliases and **autoAlpha**.
+- ✅ Prefer **timelines** over chaining with `delay` for multi-step animation.
+- ✅ Store the tween/timeline return value when you need playback control.
+- ✅ Use **gsap.matchMedia()** for breakpoints and **prefers-reduced-motion**.
+- ✅ Register every plugin once before use; clean up (revert/kill) when elements or components go away.
+
+## Do Not
+
+- ❌ Animate `width`/`height`/`top`/`left` when a transform (`x`, `y`, `scale`, `rotation`) achieves the same effect.
+- ❌ Combine **svgOrigin** and **transformOrigin** on the same element.
+- ❌ Rely on default `immediateRender: true` when stacking `from()`/`fromTo()` on the same property/target.
+- ❌ Use invalid or non-existent ease names.
+- ❌ Forget that `gsap.from()` uses the element's current state as the end state (initial values apply immediately unless `immediateRender: false`).
+
+## AKILI-SPECS Integration
+
+Loaded **conditionally** by the methodology when animation is in scope:
+
+- **/akili-specify** — load when designing animation behavior in requirements/design docs (motion intent, reduced-motion rules, scroll behavior). Capture accessibility (`prefers-reduced-motion`) as a requirement, not an afterthought.
+- **/akili-execute** — the Implementer loads this core plus the matching `references/` file(s) before writing animation code.
+- **/akili-validate** — animation performance issues (jank, dropped frames, layout thrashing) route here via `references/performance.md`.

+# GSAP with Vue, Svelte, and Other Frameworks
+
+Read when writing or reviewing GSAP in Vue (or Nuxt), Svelte (or SvelteKit), or other component frameworks with a mounted/unmounted lifecycle. For **React** use `references/react.md` (useGSAP, contextSafe).
+
+## Principles (All Frameworks)
+
+- **Create** tweens and ScrollTriggers **after** the component's DOM is available (e.g. onMounted, onMount).
+- **Kill or revert** them on **unmount** so nothing runs on detached nodes and there are no leaks.
+- **Scope selectors** to the component root so `.box` matches only elements inside that component.
+
+## Vue 3 (Composition API)
+
+Use **onMounted** to run GSAP after the component is in the DOM; **onUnmounted** to clean up.
+
+```javascript
+import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from "vue";
+import { gsap } from "gsap";
+import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); // once per app, e.g. in main.js
+
+export default {
+  setup() {
+    const container = ref(null);
+    let ctx;
+
+    onMounted(() => {
+      if (!container.value) return;
+      ctx = gsap.context(() => {
+        gsap.to(".box", { x: 100, duration: 0.6 });
+        gsap.from(".item", { autoAlpha: 0, y: 20, stagger: 0.1 });
+      }, container.value);
+    });
+
+    onUnmounted(() => {
+      ctx?.revert();
+    });
+
+    return { container };
+  }
+};
+```
+
+- ✅ **gsap.context(callback, scope)** — pass the container ref (`container.value`) so selectors like `.item` are scoped to that root. All animations and ScrollTriggers created inside are tracked and reverted on **ctx.revert()**.
+- ✅ **onUnmounted** — always call **ctx.revert()**.
+
+## Vue 3 (script setup)
+
+```javascript
+<script setup>
+import { onMounted, onUnmounted, ref } from "vue";
+import { gsap } from "gsap";
+import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
+
+const container = ref(null);
+let ctx;
+
+onMounted(() => {
+  if (!container.value) return;
+  ctx = gsap.context(() => {
+    gsap.to(".box", { x: 100 });
+    gsap.from(".item", { autoAlpha: 0, stagger: 0.1 });
+  }, container.value);
+});
+
+onUnmounted(() => {
+  ctx?.revert();
+});
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <div ref="container">
+    <div class="box">Box</div>
+    <div class="item">Item</div>
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+## Svelte
+
+Use **onMount** to run GSAP after the DOM is ready; return a cleanup that reverts. Svelte 5 uses a different lifecycle, but the principle is the same: create in "mounted", revert in "destroyed".
+
+```javascript
+<script>
+  import { onMount } from "svelte";
+  import { gsap } from "gsap";
+  import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger";
+
+  let container;
+
+  onMount(() => {
+    if (!container) return;
+    const ctx = gsap.context(() => {
+      gsap.to(".box", { x: 100 });
+      gsap.from(".item", { autoAlpha: 0, stagger: 0.1 });
+    }, container);
+    return () => ctx.revert();
+  });
+</script>
+
+<div bind:this={container}>
+  <div class="box">Box</div>
+  <div class="item">Item</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+- ✅ **bind:this={container}** — reference the root element to pass to **gsap.context(scope)**.
+- ✅ **return () => ctx.revert()** — onMount's returned cleanup runs when the component is destroyed.
+
+## Scoping Selectors
+
+Do not use global selectors that can match elements outside the current component. Always pass the **scope** (container element or ref) as the second argument to **gsap.context(callback, scope)**.
+
+- ✅ **gsap.context(() => { gsap.to(".box", ...) }, containerRef)** — `.box` is only searched inside `containerRef`.
+- ❌ Running **gsap.to(".box", ...)** without a context scope can affect other instances or the rest of the page.
+
+## ScrollTrigger Cleanup
+
+ScrollTrigger instances (via the `scrollTrigger` config on a tween/timeline or **ScrollTrigger.create()**) are **included** in **gsap.context()** and reverted on **ctx.revert()**. So:
+
+- Create ScrollTriggers inside the same **gsap.context()** callback you use for tweens.
+- Call **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** after layout changes that affect trigger positions — often after DOM updates (nextTick in Vue, tick in Svelte, or after async content load).
+
+## When to Create vs Kill
+
+| Lifecycle | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| **Mounted** | Create tweens and ScrollTriggers inside **gsap.context(scope)**. |
+| **Unmount / Destroy** | Call **ctx.revert()** so all animations and ScrollTriggers in that context are killed and inline styles reverted. |
+
+Do not create GSAP animations in setup or a synchronous top-level script that runs before the root element exists. Wait for **onMounted** / **onMount**.
+
+## Do Not
+
+- ❌ Create tweens or ScrollTriggers before the component is mounted; the DOM nodes may not exist yet.
+- ❌ Use selector strings without a **scope** (pass the container to gsap.context()).
+- ❌ Skip cleanup; always call **ctx.revert()** in onUnmounted / onMount's return.
+- ❌ Register plugins inside a component body that runs every render (wasteful); register once at app level.
