How does Claude use these principles during coding?

Claude references these patterns to ensure that when you request an animation, the resulting code follows professional motion design standards rather than simple linear transitions.

What are the 12 principles of animation included?

The skill covers Squash and Stretch, Anticipation, Staging, Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose, Follow Through, Slow In/Out, Arcs, Secondary Action, Timing, Exaggeration, Solid Drawing, and Appeal.

Does this skill work with any JavaScript library?

This specific skill is optimized for the Anime.js library, utilizing its unique syntax for timelines, staggering, and easing functions.

Can I use these patterns for mobile-responsive websites?

Yes, Anime.js is highly performant and the patterns provided are designed to work across modern browsers and mobile devices.
