interaction-design

name	interaction-design
description	Interaction design (IxD) principles and frameworks for digital product work. Covers interaction flows, component state design (hover/focus/error/loading/empty), micro-interactions, affordances, feedback mechanisms, mental models, task flows, gesture design, response time guidelines, and handoff annotations. Grounded in 6 Norman principles and 19 Tognazzini principles. v1.0.0.

What it does

A practitioner's guide to interaction design — from foundational principles to practical state design, flow specification, and interaction review:

• Interaction flows — task flows, user flows, navigation patterns, decision trees
• State design — all 10 component states: default, hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, error, success, empty, skeleton
• Micro-interactions — trigger → rules → feedback → loops model; timing and easing guidelines
• Affordances — signifiers, feedback, constraints, mapping, consistency, discoverability
• IxD principles — 6 Norman principles (Design of Everyday Things) + 19 Tognazzini principles (First Principles of Interaction Design)
• Response time — 100ms/1s/10s thresholds, progress indicators, optimistic UI
• Interaction specs — handoff annotation format, interaction specification documents
• Interaction audit — review checklist against established principles

When NOT to use

• UX journey mapping + Playwright testing → use neo-user-journey
• Animation and motion timing → use gsap-skills or framer-motion-skills
• WCAG accessibility audit → use wcag-ai-skill
• Full UX strategy → use ux-designer-skill
