Motion
Overview
Motion (package: motion, formerly framer-motion) is the standard React animation library. Import from motion/react. Provides declarative props for gestures, scroll-linked animations, layout transitions, SVG path drawing, and spring physics. Uses a hybrid animation engine (WAAPI for transforms/opacity, ScrollTimeline for scroll-linked effects). Bundle ranges from 2.3 KB (useAnimate mini) to 34 KB (full), optimizable to 4.6 KB with LazyMotion. Compatible with React 18.2+, React 19, Next.js App Router, and Vite.
Do NOT use Motion for simple list add/remove animations (use AutoAnimate instead at 3.28 KB). Do NOT use for 3D (use Three.js / React Three Fiber).
Quick Reference
| Pattern | API / Props |
|---|---|
| Fade in on mount | initial, animate, transition |
| Exit animations | AnimatePresence + exit prop (unique key required) |
| Staggered list | variants with staggerChildren |
| Hover / tap / focus | whileHover, whileTap, whileFocus |
| Drag | drag, dragConstraints, dragElastic |
| Scroll-triggered | whileInView, viewport={{ once: true }} |
| Scroll-linked/parallax | useScroll + useTransform |
| Progress indicator | scrollYProgress + scaleX |
| Layout animation | layout prop (FLIP technique) |
| Shared element | layoutId (same ID across views) |
| Layout group | LayoutGroup wrapping sibling lists |
| Page transition | AnimatePresence + key={pathname} |
| SVG path drawing | pathLength on motion.path |
| Animated counter | useSpring + useTransform |
| Imperative control | useAnimate hook returns [scope, animate] |
| Custom components | motion.create(Component) wraps any component |
| Bundle optimization | LazyMotion + domAnimation + m component (4.6 KB) |
| Reduced motion | MotionConfig reducedMotion="user" |
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Pattern |
|---|---|
| AnimatePresence inside a conditional | Keep AnimatePresence mounted; place conditional content inside it |
Missing unique key on AnimatePresence children |
Add unique key to each direct child for exit animations |
Tailwind transition-* classes with Motion animate props |
Remove Tailwind transition classes to avoid stuttering |
Importing from framer-motion |
Use import { motion } from "motion/react" (renamed late 2024) |
| Animating 50+ items without virtualization | Use react-window or @tanstack/react-virtual for large lists |
| Full 34 KB bundle for simple animations | Use LazyMotion + domAnimation (4.6 KB) or useAnimate (2.3 KB) |
Missing "use client" in Next.js App Router |
Add directive or use motion/react-client import |
Animating width/height directly |
Use layout prop or transform: scale for GPU acceleration |
No prefers-reduced-motion handling |
Wrap app in MotionConfig reducedMotion="user" |
Delegation
- Audit animation performance and bundle size: Use
Exploreagent to find heavy imports, missing LazyMotion, and reflow-triggering properties - Build complex multi-step animations: Use
Taskagent for scroll-linked parallax, shared layout transitions, and staggered sequences - Plan animation architecture for a new project: Use
Planagent to evaluate Motion vs AutoAnimate vs CSS-only based on requirements
If the
design-systemskill is available, delegate animation token definitions and motion design guidelines to it.

How to use this skill
Install motion by running npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill motion in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of motion, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
