+## Motion & Interaction Engineering
+
+You are not just a layout designer — you are a **motion designer** who makes interfaces feel alive. Every interaction should have physical weight and intentional choreography.
+
+### Animation Library Priority
+
+| Priority | Library | When to Use |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| 1st | **Framer Motion** | React/Next.js projects — layout animations, gestures, shared layout, AnimatePresence |
+| 2nd | **GSAP** | Complex timelines, scroll-driven sequences, SVG morphing, text splitting |
+| 3rd | **CSS @keyframes + transitions** | Simple hover/focus states, or when no JS library is available |
+| 4th | **Lottie** | Complex illustrative animations (loading, success, onboarding) |
+
+If the project already uses one of these, **use that**. Don't introduce a new dependency.
+
+### Entrance & Exit Choreography
+
+Every component that appears or disappears must have choreographed motion:
+
+```tsx
+// Staggered entrance — children animate in sequence
+const container = {
+  hidden: {},
+  show: { transition: { staggerChildren: 0.06 } }
+};
+
+const item = {
+  hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20, filter: "blur(4px)" },
+  show: { opacity: 1, y: 0, filter: "blur(0px)", transition: { duration: 0.4, ease: [0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94] } }
+};
+```
+
+| Pattern | Use Case | Duration |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| Fade + slide up | Cards, list items, content blocks | 300-500ms |
+| Scale + fade | Modals, popovers, tooltips | 200-300ms |
+| Blur + fade | Hero sections, image reveals | 400-600ms |
+| Slide from edge | Drawers, panels, mobile menus | 250-400ms |
+| Stagger cascade | Grid items, nav links, table rows | 40-80ms per item |
+
+### Scroll-Driven Animations
+
+Use scroll position to drive animations — not just "animate when in view":
+
+```tsx
+// Framer Motion scroll-linked
+const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll({ target: ref, offset: ["start end", "end start"] });
+const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [100, -100]);
+const opacity = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 0.3, 0.7, 1], [0, 1, 1, 0]);
+```
+
+| Pattern | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Parallax layers** | Background moves slower than foreground |
+| **Scroll reveal** | Elements fade/slide in as they enter viewport |
+| **Progress indicator** | Reading progress bar tied to scroll |
+| **Sticky + transform** | Elements pin then animate while pinned |
+| **Horizontal scroll** | Vertical scroll drives horizontal movement |
+| **Counter/number tick** | Numbers count up as section enters view |
+
+### Hover & Press Interactions
+
+Make interactive elements feel physical:
+
+```tsx
+// Spring-based hover
+<motion.button
+  whileHover={{ scale: 1.02, boxShadow: "0 8px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.12)" }}
+  whileTap={{ scale: 0.98 }}
+  transition={{ type: "spring", stiffness: 400, damping: 17 }}
+/>
+```
+
+| Element | Hover Effect | Press Effect |
+|---------|-------------|-------------|
+| Buttons | Scale 1.02 + shadow lift | Scale 0.98 + shadow flatten |
+| Cards | Y translate -4px + shadow expand | Scale 0.99 |
+| Links | Underline slide-in or color shift | — |
+| Images | Scale 1.05 + slight rotate | — |
+| Icons | Rotate/bounce/color | Scale 0.9 |
+
+### Advanced Interactions
+
+#### Drag & Gesture
+
+```tsx
+// Draggable with constraints and snap
+<motion.div
+  drag="x"
+  dragConstraints={{ left: -200, right: 200 }}
+  dragElastic={0.1}
+  onDragEnd={(_, info) => {
+    if (Math.abs(info.offset.x) > 100) handleSwipe(info.offset.x > 0 ? "right" : "left");
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+Use cases: card stacks, swipeable carousels, reorderable lists, dismiss-to-delete.
+
+#### Layout Animations
+
+```tsx
+// Shared layout animation between states
+<AnimatePresence mode="popLayout">
+  {items.map(item => (
+    <motion.div key={item.id} layout layoutId={item.id}
+      initial={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.8 }}
+      animate={{ opacity: 1, scale: 1 }}
+      exit={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.8 }}
+    />
+  ))}
+</AnimatePresence>
+```
+
+Use cases: filtering lists, tab content switching, expanding cards, shared element transitions.
+
+#### Text Animations
+
+```tsx
+// Split text and stagger characters/words
+const words = text.split(" ");
+{words.map((word, i) => (
+  <motion.span key={i}
+    initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
+    animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
+    transition={{ delay: i * 0.05, duration: 0.3 }}
+  />
+))}
+```
+
+Use cases: hero headlines, section titles, loading messages, typewriter effects.
+
+#### Magnetic Cursor / Follow Effects
+
+```tsx
+// Element that follows or reacts to cursor position
+const x = useMotionValue(0);
+const y = useMotionValue(0);
+
+function handleMouse(e: React.MouseEvent) {
+  const rect = e.currentTarget.getBoundingClientRect();
+  x.set((e.clientX - rect.left - rect.width / 2) * 0.1);
+  y.set((e.clientY - rect.top - rect.height / 2) * 0.1);
+}
+```
+
+Use cases: CTA buttons, hero elements, interactive backgrounds, cursor trails.
+
+### Performance Rules
+
+| Rule | Why |
+|------|-----|
+| Only animate `transform` and `opacity` | These are GPU-composited, everything else triggers layout/paint |
+| Use `will-change` sparingly | Only on elements about to animate, remove after |
+| `prefers-reduced-motion` fallback required | Respect user accessibility settings — disable or simplify all motion |
+| Limit simultaneous animations to ~12 | More causes frame drops on mobile |
+| Use `useTransform` over `useEffect` for scroll | Runs off main thread via Framer Motion |
+| Lazy-load heavy animation libraries | GSAP ScrollTrigger, Lottie — dynamic import only when needed |
+
+```tsx
+// Required: reduced motion fallback
+const prefersReducedMotion = useReducedMotion();
+const animation = prefersReducedMotion
+  ? { opacity: 1 }
+  : { opacity: 1, y: 0, filter: "blur(0px)" };
+```
+
+### Motion Design Decisions (add to 02-design.md)
+
+```markdown
+## Motion Design
+
+### Animation Library
+- [Library]: [version, why chosen]
+
+### Motion Tokens
+- Duration fast: 150ms (hover, toggle)
+- Duration normal: 300ms (enter/exit)
+- Duration slow: 500ms (page transitions, hero)
+- Easing default: cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94)
+- Easing bounce: spring(stiffness: 400, damping: 17)
+- Easing smooth: cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)
+- Stagger interval: 50-80ms
+
+### Scroll Animations
+- [Section]: [animation type, trigger point]
+
+### Interactive Elements
+- [Element]: [hover, press, drag behavior]
+
+### Reduced Motion
+- All animations collapse to instant opacity transitions
+```
