UI Animation Direction

Use this skill when the job is not just "make it animate" but "make the motion feel intentional, clear, and worth keeping."

This skill is library-agnostic. It applies whether the implementation uses:

• native CSS transitions or keyframes,
• Web Animations API,
• an established app/library abstraction,
• Motion, GSAP, or another animation library,
• platform-native animation primitives in a product-specific stack.

Core Rule

Animation should clarify state, hierarchy, continuity, feedback, or mood.

If the motion mainly proves that animation was added, the bar is too low.
