+
+## Role
+
+Use this skill when Codex needs official GSAP skill for GSAP plugins — registration, ScrollToPlugin, ScrollSmoother, Flip, Draggable, Inertia, Observer, SplitText, ScrambleText, SVG and physics plugins, CustomEase, EasePack, CustomWiggle, CustomBounce, GSDevTools. Reach for this when the user asks about a GSAP plugin, scroll-to, flip animations, draggable, SVG drawing, or plugin registration.

+- Original Markdown: `gsap-plugins/SKILL.md`
+- Reformulated skill name: `gsap-plugins-playbook`
+- Upstream reference: https://github.com/greensock/gsap-skills
+- Source category: `animation-motion`
+
+## Operating Guidance
+
+Follow the rewritten material below as the working procedure. Keep code blocks, commands, file paths, URLs, dimensions, and API names exact when applying the skill.
+
+> Adapted from GreenSock's official GSAP skills: https://github.com/greensock/gsap-skills
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+Apply when using or reviewing code that uses GSAP plugins: registering plugins, scroll-to, flip/FLIP animations, draggable elements, SVG (DrawSVG, MorphSVG, MotionPath), text (SplitText, ScrambleText), physics, easing plugins (CustomEase, EasePack, CustomWiggle, CustomBounce), or GSDevTools. ScrollTrigger has its own skill (gsap-scrolltrigger).
+
+**Related skills:** For core tweens use **gsap-core**; for ScrollTrigger use **gsap-scrolltrigger**; for React use **gsap-react**.
+
+## Licensing & Install (important)
+
+Every GSAP plugin is **free**, including for commercial use. Since [Webflow's acquisition of GSAP](https://gsap.com/blog/webflow-GSAP/), Club GSAP is no longer a paid tier and **no plugin requires a membership, license key, or auth token** — this includes formerly Club-only plugins (**SplitText**, **MorphSVG**, etc.).
+
+- ✅ Install everything from the public `gsap` npm package: `npm install gsap`. All plugins are included — import them as `gsap/SplitText`, `gsap/MorphSVGPlugin`, etc.
+- ❌ Do **not** compose an `.npmrc` with a GreenSock auth token, suggest the private `npm.greensock.com` registry, or tell users to sign up for Club GSAP to access a plugin. Those instructions are outdated.
+
+## Registering Plugins
+
+Register each plugin once so GSAP (and bundlers) know to include it. Use **gsap.registerPlugin()** with every plugin used in the project:
+
+```javascript
+import gsap from "gsap";
+import { ScrollToPlugin } from "gsap/ScrollToPlugin";
+import { Flip } from "gsap/Flip";
+import { Draggable } from "gsap/Draggable";
+
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollToPlugin, Flip, Draggable);
+```
+
+- ✅ Register before using the plugin in any tween or API call.
+- ✅ In React, register at top level or once in the app (e.g. before first useGSAP); avoid register inside a component that re-renders. useGSAP is a plugin that needs to be registered before use.
+
+## Scroll
+
+### ScrollToPlugin
+
+Animates scroll position (window or a scrollable element). Use for “scroll to element” or “scroll to position” without ScrollTrigger.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollToPlugin);
+
+gsap.to(window, { duration: 1, scrollTo: { y: 500 } });
+gsap.to(window, { duration: 1, scrollTo: { y: "#section", offsetY: 50 } });
+gsap.to(scrollContainer, { duration: 1, scrollTo: { x: "max" } });
+```
+
+**ScrollToPlugin — key config (scrollTo object):**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `x`, `y` | Target scroll position (number), or `"max"` for maximum |
+| `element` | Selector or element to scroll to (for scroll-into-view) |
+| `offsetX`, `offsetY` | Offset in pixels from the target position |
+
+### ScrollSmoother
+
+Smooth scroll wrapper (smooths native scroll). Requires ScrollTrigger and a specific DOM structure (content wrapper + smooth wrapper). Reach for this when smooth, momentum-style scroll is needed. See GSAP docs for setup; register after ScrollTrigger. DOM structure would look like: 
+
+```html
+<body>
+	<div id="smooth-wrapper">
+		<div id="smooth-content">
+			<!--- ALL YOUR CONTENT HERE --->
+		</div>
+	</div>
+	<!-- position: fixed elements can go outside --->
+</body>
+```
+
+## DOM / UI
+
+### Flip
+
+Capture state with `Flip.getState()`, then apply changes (e.g. layout or class changes), then use `Flip.from()` to animate from the previous state to the new state (FLIP: First, Last, Invert, Play). Reach for this when animating between two layout states (lists, grids, expanded/collapsed).
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(Flip);
+
+const state = Flip.getState(".item");
+// change DOM (reorder, add/remove, change classes)
+Flip.from(state, { duration: 0.5, ease: "power2.inOut" });
+```
+
+**Flip — key config (Flip.from vars):**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `absolute` | Use `position: absolute` during the flip (default: `false`) |
+| `nested` | When true, only the first level of children is measured (better for nested transforms) |
+| `scale` | When true, scale elements to fit (avoids stretch); default `true` |
+| `simple` | When true, only position/scale are animated (faster, less accurate) |
+| `duration`, `ease` | Standard tween options |
+
+#### More information
+
+https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/Flip
+
+### Draggable
+
+Makes elements draggable, spinnable, or throwable with mouse/touch. Use for sliders, cards, reorderable lists, or any drag interaction.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(Draggable, InertiaPlugin);
+
+Draggable.create(".box", { type: "x,y", bounds: "#container", inertia: true });
+Draggable.create(".knob", { type: "rotation" });
+```
+
+**Draggable — key config options:**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `type` | `"x"`, `"y"`, `"x,y"`, `"rotation"`, `"scroll"` |
+| `bounds` | Element, selector, or `{ minX, maxX, minY, maxY }` to constrain drag |
+| `inertia` | `true` to enable throw/momentum (requires InertiaPlugin) |
+| `edgeResistance` | 0–1; resistance when dragging past bounds |
+| `cursor` | CSS cursor during drag |
+| `onDragStart`, `onDrag`, `onDragEnd` | Callbacks; receive event and target |
+| `onThrowUpdate`, `onThrowComplete` | Callbacks when inertia is active |
+
+### Inertia (InertiaPlugin)
+
+Works with Draggable for momentum after release, or track the inertia/velocity of any property of any object so that it can then seamlessly glide to a stop using a simple tween. Register with Draggable when using `inertia: true`:
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(Draggable, InertiaPlugin);
+Draggable.create(".box", { type: "x,y", inertia: true });
+```
+
+Or track velocity of a property: 
+```javascript
+InertiaPlugin.track(".box", "x");
+```
+
+Then use `"auto"` to continue the current velocity and glide to a stop: 
+
+```javascript
+gsap.to(obj, { inertia: { x: "auto" } });
+```
+
+### Observer
+
+Normalizes pointer and scroll input across devices. Use for swipe, scroll direction, or custom gesture logic without tying directly to scroll position like ScrollTrigger.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(Observer);
+
+Observer.create({
+  target: "#area",
+  onUp: () => {},
+  onDown: () => {},
+  onLeft: () => {},
+  onRight: () => {},
+  tolerance: 10
+});
+```
+
+**Observer — key config options:**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `target` | Element or selector to observe |
+| `onUp`, `onDown`, `onLeft`, `onRight` | Callbacks when swipe/scroll passes tolerance in that direction |
+| `tolerance` | Pixels before direction is detected; default 10 |
+| `type` | `"touch"`, `"pointer"`, or `"wheel"` (default: `"touch,pointer"`) |
+
+## Text
+
+### SplitText
+
+Splits an element’s text into characters, words, and/or lines (each in its own element) for staggered or per-unit animation. Reach for this when animating text character-by-character, word-by-word, or line-by-line. Returns an instance with **chars**, **words**, **lines** (and **masks** when `mask` is set). Restore original markup with **revert()** or let **gsap.context()** revert. Integrates with **gsap.context()**, **matchMedia()**, and **useGSAP()**. API: **SplitText.produce(target, vars)** (target = selector, element, or array).
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(SplitText);
+
+const split = SplitText.create(".heading", { type: "words, chars" });
+gsap.from(split.chars, { opacity: 0, y: 20, stagger: 0.03, duration: 0.4 });
+// later: split.revert() or let gsap.context() cleanup revert
+```
+
+With **onSplit()** (v3.13.0+), animations execute on each split and on re-split when **autoSplit** is used; returning a tween/timeline from **onSplit()** lets SplitText clean up and sync progress on re-split:
+
+```javascript
+SplitText.create(".split", {
+  type: "lines",
+  autoSplit: true,
+  onSplit(self) {
+    return gsap.from(self.lines, { y: 100, opacity: 0, stagger: 0.05, duration: 0.5 });
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**SplitText — key config (SplitText.produce vars):**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **type** | Comma-separated: `"chars"`, `"words"`, `"lines"`. Default `"chars,words,lines"`. Only split what is needed (e.g. `"words, chars"` if not using lines) for performance. Avoid chars-only without words/lines or use **smartWrap: true** to prevent odd line breaks. |
+| **charsClass**, **wordsClass**, **linesClass** | CSS class on each split element. Append `"++"` to add an incremented class (e.g. `linesClass: "line++"` → `line1`, `line2`, …). |
+| **aria** | `"auto"` (default), `"hidden"`, or `"none"`. Accessibility: `"auto"` adds `aria-label` on the split element and `aria-hidden` on line/word/char elements so screen readers read the label; `"hidden"` hides all from readers; `"none"` leaves aria unchanged. Use `"none"` plus a screen-reader-only duplicate if nested links/semantics must be exposed. |
+| **autoSplit** | When `true`, reverts and re-splits when fonts finish loading or when the element width changes (and lines are split), avoiding wrong line breaks. **Animations must be created inside onSplit()** so they target the newly split elements; **return** the animation from **onSplit()** for automatic cleanup and time-sync on re-split. |
+| **onSplit(self)** | Callback when split completes (and on each re-split if **autoSplit** is `true`). Receives the SplitText instance. Returning a GSAP tween or timeline enables automatic revert/sync of that animation when re-splitting. |
+| **mask** | `"lines"`, `"words"`, or `"chars"`. Wraps each unit in an extra element with `overflow: clip` for mask/reveal effects. Only one type; access wrappers on the instance’s **masks** array (or use class `-mask` if a class is set). |
+| **tag** | Wrapper element tag; default `"div"`. Use `"span"` for inline (note: transforms like rotation/scale may not render on inline elements in some browsers). |
+| **deepSlice** | When `true` (default), nested elements (e.g. `<strong>`) that span multiple lines are subdivided so lines don’t stretch vertically. Only applies when splitting lines. |
+| **ignore** | Selector or element(s) to leave unsplit (e.g. `ignore: "sup"`). |
+| **smartWrap** | When splitting **chars** only, wraps words in a `white-space: nowrap` span to avoid mid-word line breaks. Ignored if words or lines are split. Default `false`. |
+| **wordDelimiter** | Word boundary: string (default `" "`), RegExp, or `{ delimiter: RegExp, replaceWith: string }` for custom splitting (e.g. zero-width joiner for hashtags, or non-Latin). |
+| **prepareText(text, parent)** | Function that receives raw text and parent element; return modified text before splitting (e.g. to insert break markers for languages without spaces). |
+| **propIndex** | When `true`, adds a CSS variable with index on each split element (e.g. `--word: 1`, `--char: 2`). |
+| **reduceWhiteSpace** | Collapse consecutive spaces; default `true`. From v3.13.0 also honors line breaks and can insert `<br>` for `<pre>`. |
+| **onRevert** | Callback when the instance is reverted. |
+
+**Tips:** Split only what is animated (e.g. skip chars if only animating words). For custom fonts, split after they load (e.g. `document.fonts.ready.then(...)`) or use **autoSplit: true** with **onSplit()**. To avoid kerning shift when splitting chars, use CSS `font-kerning: none; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed;`. Avoid `text-wrap: balance`; it can interfere with splitting. SplitText does not support SVG `<text>`.

+**Learn more:** [SplitText](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/SplitText/)
+
+### ScrambleText
+
+Animates text with a scramble/glitch effect. Reach for this when revealing or transitioning text with a scramble.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrambleTextPlugin);
+
+gsap.to(".text", {
+  duration: 1,
+  scrambleText: { text: "New message", chars: "01", revealDelay: 0.5 }
+});
+```
+
+## SVG
+
+### DrawSVG (DrawSVGPlugin)
+
+Reveals or hides the stroke of SVG elements by animating `stroke-dashoffset` / `stroke-dasharray`. Works on `<path>`, `<line>`, `<polyline>`, `<polygon>`, `<rect>`, `<ellipse>`. Reach for this when “drawing” or “erasing” strokes.
+
+**drawSVG value:** Describes the **visible segment** of the stroke along the path (start and end positions), not “animate from A to B over time.” Format: `"start end"` in percent or length. Examples: `"0% 100%"` = full stroke; `"20% 80%"` = stroke only between 20% and 80% (gaps at both ends). The tween animates from the element’s **current** segment to the **target** segment — e.g. `gsap.to("#path", { drawSVG: "0% 100%" })` goes from whatever it is now to full stroke. Single value (e.g. `0`, `"100%"`) means start is 0: `"100%"` is equivalent to `"0% 100%"`. 
+
+**Required:** The element needs to have a visible stroke — set `stroke` and `stroke-width` in CSS or as SVG attributes; otherwise nothing is drawn.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(DrawSVGPlugin);
+
+// draw from nothing to full stroke
+gsap.from("#path", { duration: 1, drawSVG: 0 });
+// or explicit segment: from 0–0 to 0–100%
+gsap.fromTo("#path", { drawSVG: "0% 0%" }, { drawSVG: "0% 100%", duration: 1 });
+// stroke only in the middle (gaps at ends)
+gsap.to("#path", { duration: 1, drawSVG: "20% 80%" });
+```
+
+**Caveats:** Only affects stroke (not fill). Prefer single-segment `<path>` elements; multi-segment paths can render oddly in some browsers. Contents of `<use>` cannot be visually changed. **DrawSVGPlugin.getLength(element)** and **DrawSVGPlugin.getPosition(element)** return stroke length and current position.
+
+**Learn more:** [DrawSVG](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/DrawSVGPlugin)
+
+### MorphSVG (MorphSVGPlugin)
+
+Morphs one SVG shape into another by animating the `d` attribute (path data). Start and end shapes avoid need the same number of points — MorphSVG converts to cubic beziers and adds points as needed. Use for icon-to-icon morphs, shape transitions, or path-based animations. Works on `<path>`, `<polyline>`, and `<polygon>`; `<circle>`, `<rect>`, `<ellipse>`, and `<line>` are converted internally or via **MorphSVGPlugin.convertToPath(selector | element)** (replaces the element in the DOM with a `<path>`).
+
+**morphSVG value:** Can be a **selector** (e.g. `"#lightning"`), an **element**, **raw path data** (e.g. `"M47.1,0.8 73.3,0.8..."`), or for polygon/polyline a **points string** (e.g. `"240,220 240,70 70,70 70,220"`). For full config use the **object form** with **shape** as the only required property.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(MorphSVGPlugin);
+
+// convert primitives to path first if needed:
+MorphSVGPlugin.convertToPath("circle, rect, ellipse, line");
+
+gsap.to("#diamond", { duration: 1, morphSVG: "#lightning", ease: "power2.inOut" });
+// object form:
+gsap.to("#diamond", {
+  duration: 1,
+  morphSVG: { shape: "#lightning", type: "rotational", shapeIndex: 2 }
+});
+
+```
+
+**MorphSVG — key config (morphSVG object):**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **shape** | _(Required.)_ Target shape: selector, element, or raw path string. |
+| **type** | `"linear"` (default) or `"rotational"`. Rotational uses angle/length interpolation and can avoid kinks mid-morph; try it when linear looks wrong. |
+| **map** | How segments are matched: `"size"` (default), `"position"`, or `"complexity"`. Use when start/end segments don’t line up; if none work, split into multiple paths and morph each. |
+| **shapeIndex** | Offsets which point in the start path maps to the first point in the end path (avoids shape “crossing over” or inverting). Number for single-segment paths; **array** for multi-segment (e.g. `[5, 1, -8]`). Negative reverses that segment. Use **shapeIndex: "log"** once to log the auto-calculated value, then paste the number/array into the tween. **findShapeIndex(start, end)** (separate utility) provides an interactive UI to find a good value. Only applies to closed paths. |
+| **smooth** | (v3.14+). Adds smoothing points. Number (e.g. `80`), `"auto"`, or object: `{ points: 40 \| "auto", redraw: true \| false, persist: true \| false }`. `redraw: false` keeps original anchors (perfect fidelity, less even spacing). `persist: false` removes added points when the tween ends. Use when the default morph looks jagged or unnatural. |
+| **curveMode** | Boolean (v3.14+). Interpolates control-handle angle/length instead of raw x/y to avoid kinks on curves. Try if a morph has a mid-morph kink. |
+| **origin** | Rotation origin for **type: "rotational"**. String: `"50% 50%"` (default) or `"20% 60%, 35% 90%"` for different start/end origins. |
+| **precision** | Decimal places for output path data; default `2`. |
+| **precompile** | Array of precomputed path strings (or use **precompile: "log"** once, copy from console). Skips expensive startup calculations; use for very complex morphs. Only for `<path>` (convert polygon/polyline first). |
+| **render** | Function(rawPath, target) called each update — e.g. draw to canvas. RawPath is an array of segments (each segment = array of alternating x,y cubic bezier coords). |
+| **updateTarget** | When using **render** (e.g. canvas-only), set **updateTarget: false** so the original `<path>` is not updated. **MorphSVGPlugin.defaultUpdateTarget** sets default. |
+
+**Utilities:** **MorphSVGPlugin.convertToPath(selector | element)** converts circle/rect/ellipse/line/polygon/polyline to `<path>` in the DOM. **MorphSVGPlugin.rawPathToString(rawPath)** and **stringToRawPath(d)** convert between path strings and raw arrays. The plugin stores the original `d` on the target (e.g. for tweening back: `morphSVG: "#originalId"` or the same element).
+
+**Tips:** For twisted or inverted morphs, set **shapeIndex** (use `"log"` or findShapeIndex()). For multi-segment paths, **shapeIndex** is an array (one value per segment). Precompile only when the first frame is slow; it does not fix jank during the tween (simplify the SVG or reduce size if needed).
+
+**Learn more:** [MorphSVG](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/MorphSVGPlugin)
+
+### MotionPath (MotionPathPlugin)
+
+Animates an element along an SVG path. Reach for this when moving an object along a path (e.g. a curve or custom route).
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin);
+
+gsap.to(".dot", {
+  duration: 2,
+  motionPath: { path: "#path", align: "#path", alignOrigin: [0.5, 0.5] }
+});
+```
+
+**MotionPath — key config (motionPath object):**
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `path` | SVG path element, selector, or path data string |
+| `align` | Path element or selector to align the target to |
+| `alignOrigin` | `[x, y]` origin (0–1); default `[0.5, 0.5]` |
+| `autoRotate` | Rotate element to follow path tangent |
+| `curviness` | 0–2; path smoothing |
+
+### MotionPathHelper
+
+Visual editor for MotionPath (alignment, offset). Use during development to tune path alignment.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin, MotionPathHelperPlugin);
+
+const helper = MotionPathHelper.create(".dot", "#path", { end: 0.5 });
+// adjust in UI, then use helper.path or helper.getProgress() in your animation
+```
+
+## Easing
+
+### CustomEase
+
+Custom easing curves (cubic-bezier or SVG path). Reach for this when a built-in ease is not enough. Basic usage is covered in gsap-core; register when using:
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(CustomEase);
+const ease = CustomEase.create("name", ".17,.67,.83,.67");
+gsap.to(".el", { x: 100, ease: ease, duration: 1 });
+```
+
+### EasePack
+
+Adds more named eases (e.g. SlowMo, RoughEase, ExpoScaleEase). Register and use the ease names in tweens.
+
+### CustomWiggle
+
+Wiggle/shake easing. Reach for this when a value prefer to “wiggle” (multiple oscillations).
+
+### CustomBounce
+
+Bounce-style easing with configurable strength.
+
+## Physics
+
+### Physics2D (Physics2DPlugin)
+
+2D physics (velocity, angle, gravity). Reach for this when animating with simple physics (e.g. projectiles, bouncing).
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(Physics2DPlugin);
+
+gsap.to(".ball", {
+  duration: 2,
+  physics2D: {
+    velocity: 250,
+    angle: 80,
+    gravity: 500
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### PhysicsProps (PhysicsPropsPlugin)
+
+Applies physics to property values. Use for physics-driven property animation.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(PhysicsPropsPlugin);
+
+gsap.to(".obj", {
+  duration: 2,
+  physicsProps: {
+    x: { velocity: 100, end: 300 },
+    y: { velocity: -50, acceleration: 200 }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### GSDevTools
+
+UI for scrubbing timelines, toggling animations, and debugging. Use during development only; avoid ship. Register and produce an instance with a timeline reference.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(GSDevTools);
+GSDevTools.create({ animation: tl });
+```
+
+## Other
+
+### Pixi (PixiPlugin)
+
+Integrates GSAP with PixiJS for animating Pixi display objects. Register when animating Pixi objects with GSAP.
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(PixiPlugin);
+
+const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
+gsap.to(sprite, { pixi: { x: 200, y: 100, scale: 1.5 }, duration: 1 });
+```
+
+## Working Practices
+
+- ✅ Register every plugin used with **gsap.registerPlugin()** before first use.
+- ✅ Use **Flip.getState()** → DOM change → **Flip.from()** for layout transitions; use **Draggable** + **InertiaPlugin** for drag with momentum.
+- ✅ Revert plugin instances (e.g. `SplitTextInstance.revert()`) when components unmount or elements are removed.
+
+## Do Not
+
+- ❌ Use a plugin in a tween or API without registering it first (**gsap.registerPlugin()**).
+- ❌ Ship GSDevTools or development-only plugins to production.

+When **@gsap/react** is available, use the **useGSAP()** hook instead of `useEffect()` for GSAP setup. It handles cleanup automatically and provides a scope and **contextSafe** for callbacks.
+
+```javascript
+import { useGSAP } from "@gsap/react";
+
+gsap.registerPlugin(useGSAP); // register before running useGSAP or any GSAP code
+
+const containerRef = useRef(null);
+
+useGSAP(() => {
+  gsap.to(".box", { x: 100 });
+  gsap.from(".item", { opacity: 0, stagger: 0.1 });
+}, { scope: containerRef });
+```
+
+- ✅ Pass a **scope** (ref or element) so selectors like `.box` are scoped to that root.
+- ✅ Cleanup (reverting animations and ScrollTriggers) runs automatically on unmount.
+- ✅ Use **contextSafe** from the hook's return value to wrap callbacks (e.g. onComplete) so they no-op after unmount and avoid React warnings.
+
+## Refs for Targets
+
+Use **refs** so GSAP targets the actual DOM nodes after render. Avoid rely on selector strings that might match multiple or wrong elements across re-renders unless a `scope` is defined. With useGSAP, pass the ref as **scope**; with useEffect, pass it as the second argument to `gsap.context()`. For multiple elements, use a ref to the container and query children, or use an array of refs.
+
+## Dependency array, scope, and revertOnUpdate
+
+By default, useGSAP() passes an empty dependency array to the internal useEffect()/useLayoutEffect() so that it doesn't get called on every render. The 2nd argument is optional; it can pass either a dependency array (like useEffect()) or a config object for more flexibility:
+
+```javascript
+useGSAP(() => {
+		// gsap code here, just like in a useEffect()
+},{ 
+  dependencies: [endX], // dependency array (optional)
+  scope: container,     // scope selector text (optional, recommended)
+  revertOnUpdate: true  // causes the context to be reverted and the cleanup function to run every time the hook re-synchronizes (when any dependency changes)
+});
+```
+
+## gsap.context() in useEffect (when useGSAP isn't used)
+
+It's okay to use **gsap.context()** inside a regular **useEffect()** when @gsap/react is not used or when the effect's dependency/trigger behavior is needed. When doing so, **consistently** call **ctx.revert()** in the effect's cleanup function so animations and ScrollTriggers are killed and inline styles are reverted. Otherwise this causes leaks and updates on detached nodes.
+
+```javascript
+useEffect(() => {
+  const ctx = gsap.context(() => {
+    gsap.to(".box", { x: 100 });
+    gsap.from(".item", { opacity: 0, stagger: 0.1 });
+  }, containerRef);
+  return () => ctx.revert();
+}, []);
+```
+
+- ✅ Pass a **scope** (ref or element) as the second argument so selectors are scoped to that node.
+- ✅ **Consistently** return a cleanup that calls **ctx.revert()**.
+
+## Context-Safe Callbacks
+
+If GSAP-related objects get created inside functions that execute AFTER the useGSAP executes (like pointer event handlers) they won't get reverted on unmount/re-render because they're not in the context. Use **contextSafe** (from useGSAP) for those functions:
+
+```javascript
+const container = useRef();
+const badRef = useRef();
+const goodRef = useRef();
+
+useGSAP((context, contextSafe) => {
+	// ✅ safe, created during execution
+	gsap.to(goodRef.current, { x: 100 });
+
+	// ❌ DANGER! This animation is created in an event handler that executes AFTER useGSAP() executes. It's not added to the context so it won't get cleaned up (reverted). The event listener isn't removed in cleanup function below either, so it persists between component renders (bad).
+	badRef.current.addEventListener('click', () => {
+		gsap.to(badRef.current, { y: 100 });
+	});
+
+	// ✅ safe, wrapped in contextSafe() function
+	const onClickGood = contextSafe(() => {
+		gsap.to(goodRef.current, { rotation: 180 });
+	});
+
+	goodRef.current.addEventListener('click', onClickGood);
+
+	// 👍 we remove the event listener in the cleanup function below.
+	return () => {
+		// <-- cleanup
+		goodRef.current.removeEventListener('click', onClickGood);
+	};
+},{ scope: container });
+```
+
+## Server-Side Rendering (Next.js, etc.)
+
+GSAP runs in the browser. Avoid call gsap or ScrollTrigger during SSR.
+
+- Use **useGSAP** (or useEffect) so all GSAP code runs only on the client.
+- If GSAP is imported at top level, ensure the app does not execute gsap.* or ScrollTrigger.* during server render. Dynamic import inside useEffect is an option if tree-shaking or bundle size is a concern.
+
+## Working Practices
+
+- ✅ Prefer **useGSAP()** from `@gsap/react` rather than `useEffect()`/`useLayoutEffect()`; use **gsap.context()** + **ctx.revert()** in `useEffect` when `useGSAP` is not an option.
+- ✅ Use refs for targets and pass a **scope** so selectors are limited to the component.
+- ✅ Execute GSAP only on the client (useGSAP or useEffect); avoid call gsap or ScrollTrigger during SSR.
+
+## Do Not
+
+- ❌ Target by **selector without a scope**; consistently pass **scope** (ref or element) in useGSAP or gsap.context() so selectors like `.box` are limited to that root and avoid match elements outside the component.
+- ❌ Animate using selector strings that can match elements outside the current component unless a `scope` is defined in useGSAP or gsap.context() so only elements inside the component are affected.
+- ❌ Skip cleanup; consistently revert context or kill tweens/ScrollTriggers in the effect return to avoid leaks and updates on unmounted nodes.
+- ❌ Execute GSAP or ScrollTrigger during SSR; keep all usage inside client-only lifecycle (e.g. useGSAP).
