Analyze a feature and strategically add animations and micro-interactions that enhance understanding, provide feedback, and create delight.
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Load frontend-design first — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow that protocol before proceeding. If confirmed design context is still missing from the current instructions, AGENTS.md, or project-context/design-context.md, load teach-impeccable first. Additionally gather: performance constraints.
Assess Animation Opportunities
Analyze where motion would improve the experience:
- Identify static areas:
- Missing feedback: Actions without visual acknowledgment (button clicks, form submission, etc.)
- Jarring transitions: Instant state changes that feel abrupt (show/hide, page loads, route changes)
- Unclear relationships: Spatial or hierarchical relationships that aren't obvious
- Lack of delight: Functional but joyless interactions
- Missed guidance: Opportunities to direct attention or explain behavior
