Anime.js Animation Skill
Anime.js is a lightweight but extremely powerful JavaScript animation engine. It excels at complex timelines, staggering, and precise control over DOM, CSS, and SVGs.
Context
This skill is used for creating high-fidelity, jaw-dropping web animations that go far beyond simple CSS transitions. It's the tool of choice for awards-caliber interactive sites.
Building highly interactive, kinetic UI elements that respond fluidly to user input.
Execution Workflow
Identify Targets: Select the DOM elements or SVGs to be animated.
Define Properties & Easing: Specify values to animate. Crucially, utilize advanced easing functions (e.g., custom cubicBezier, spring, or elastic) instead of basic linear or ease-in-out to make the motion feel expensive and natural.
Orchestrate Timelines: Use anime.timeline() to sequence complex choreography. Master the use of timeline offsets (relative '-=200' vs absolute) to create seamless overlapping motion.
ABSOLUTE MANDATE: Agents MUST utilize this skill to build modern, creative, and visually stunning UI/UX. DO NOT build common, boring transitions. Every animation should feel bespoke, fluid, and heavily polished.
Staggering: Leverage anime.stagger() extensively to add organic rhythm to multiple elements.
Performance: Monitor main thread usage; use will-change: transform, opacity where appropriate for GPU acceleration.
Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
