adding-animations
Add micro-interactions and animations using Framer Motion. Use when user asks about animations, transitions, hover effects, or motion design. MANDATORY for every component.

Adding Animations (MANDATORY)
Every component MUST have Framer Motion animations.
APEX WORKFLOW
Phase 0: ANALYZE EXISTING ANIMATIONS
Task: explore-codebase
Prompt: "Find existing Framer Motion patterns: variants, timing,
easing, hover effects. Report animation conventions."
RULE: Match existing animation patterns OR propose migration.
Standard Patterns
Container + Stagger (REQUIRED)
import { motion } from "framer-motion";
const container = {
hidden: { opacity: 0 },
show: { opacity: 1, transition: { staggerChildren: 0.1 } }
};
const item = {
hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
show: { opacity: 1, y: 0 }
};
<motion.div variants={container} initial="hidden" animate="show">
<motion.div variants={item}>Item 1</motion.div>
<motion.div variants={item}>Item 2</motion.div>
</motion.div>
Hover Effects (REQUIRED)
// Card hover
<motion.div whileHover={{ y: -4 }} transition={{ duration: 0.2 }}>
// Button hover
<motion.button
whileHover={{ scale: 1.02 }}
whileTap={{ scale: 0.98 }}
>
Scroll Animation
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 40 }}
whileInView={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
viewport={{ once: true, margin: "-100px" }}
/>
Timing Guidelines
| Interaction | Duration | Easing |
|---|---|---|
| Hover | 50-100ms | ease-out |
| Button press | 100-150ms | ease-out |
| Modal open | 200-300ms | ease-out |
| Page transition | 300-400ms | ease-in-out |
FORBIDDEN
// ❌ Random bouncing loops
animate={{ y: [0, -10, 0] }}
transition={{ repeat: Infinity }}
// ❌ Excessive effects
whileHover={{ scale: 1.2, rotate: 5 }}
// ❌ Slow animations
transition={{ duration: 1.5 }}
Accessibility (MANDATORY)
import { useReducedMotion } from "framer-motion";
function Component() {
const shouldReduce = useReducedMotion();
return (
<motion.div
animate={shouldReduce ? {} : { y: 0 }}
transition={shouldReduce ? { duration: 0 } : { duration: 0.3 }}
/>
);
}
Validation
[ ] Existing animations analyzed (Phase 0)
[ ] Patterns match existing OR migration proposed
[ ] Stagger on lists/grids
[ ] Hover on all interactive elements
[ ] prefers-reduced-motion respected
[ ] No excessive/random animations
