 # GSAP Plugins — Complete Reference & Registration
 
+## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
+
+Before generating, refactoring, or reviewing code in the `gsap-plugins` domain, inspect these 5 critical parameters:
+
+1. **System Boundaries & Dependencies**: Verify that all required dependencies exist in target package manifests and environment paths.
+2. **Runtime Context & Platform Invariants**: Confirm target platform constraints (Node.js, Browser, Mobile OS, Edge runtime) before applying APIs.
+3. **Execution Guardrails**: Identify potential side-effects, state mutations, and unhandled asynchronous exceptions.
+4. **Validation & Type Contracts**: Validate input data schemas and strict type constraints across all module interfaces.
+5. **Observability & Proof of Execution**: Ensure execution produces tangible verification signals (terminal output, tests, metrics).
+
+## Activation Boundaries

Use when the user asks about a GSAP plugin, scroll-to, flip animations, draggable, SVG drawing, or plugin registration.
+- **DO NOT activate when:** The task falls outside the `gsap-plugins` domain or is managed by a different dedicated specialist.

+| Pass | Phase | Core Action |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Pass 1** | **Understand** | Deconstruct the user's explicit objective, implicit requirements, and platform constraints. |
+| **Pass 2** | **Plan** | Decompose the task into smallest logical steps; map dependencies and required tool calls. |
+| **Pass 3** | **Execute** | Implement the solution with production-grade craft, zero placeholders, and strict typing. |
+| **Pass 4** | **Verify** | Run linters, unit tests, or compiler checks to validate structural correctness. |
+| **Pass 5** | **Attack** | Perform an adversarial review searching for edge-case failures, race conditions, and traps. |

-2. Plugin Registration (Section 18) → Always register plugins explicitly via `gsap.registerPlugin(...)` at module root
-3. Revert & Cleanup (Section 418) → Call `.revert()` on SplitText and Flip instances during component unmount

+✅ Does animation maintain 60fps/120fps using transform and opacity?
+✅ Is optical mass conserved across state interpolations without volume collapse?
+✅ Is duration capped within micro-interaction budgets (160ms–280ms)?
+✅ Is prefers-reduced-motion respected with graceful instant fallbacks?
+✅ Did I prevent layout thrashing and continuous geometry mutations?
