What it does

Motion is an agent skill from Asymmetric-al/core. Implement smooth, accessible animations with motion/react (Framer Motion) in React. Use when adding animations, gestures, or layout transitions with motion, AnimatePresence, useScroll, and related APIs. Requires a 'use client' boundary; not for strictly server-rendered components or when no animation is needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web animation and motion. It works with React and Motion. The repository describes itself as: A high-performance, enterprise-grade Next.js 16 application for mission-focused non-profit organizations. Built for high impact teams. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Adding animations
Layout transitions with motion
AnimatePresence

Example prompts

“use client”
“/motion”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Identify the UX purpose (feedback, transition, focus).
Add the smallest 'use client' boundary.
Implement enter/exit or layout transitions correctly.
Respect reduced motion preferences.
Check performance and bundle size.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c30c8ff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Motion loads about 836 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~836

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: motion
description: Implement smooth, accessible animations with motion/react (Framer Motion) in React. Use when adding animations, gestures, or layout transitions with motion, AnimatePresence, useScroll, and related APIs. Requires a 'use client' boundary; not for strictly server-rendered components or when no animation is needed.

Motion (Framer Motion) — Skill

Name: motion Purpose: Implement smooth, accessible animations with motion/react in React. Use this skill whenever adding animations, gestures, or layout transitions.

Applies when: Using motion/react (motion, AnimatePresence, useScroll, etc.). Do not use when: No animations are needed or the component is strictly server-rendered.

Rules

Client-only boundary: Motion requires 'use client'; keep client islands small.
Start simple: Begin with opacity/translate before adding spring physics.
Use the right tool: AnimatePresence for enter/exit, layout for layout, whileHover/whileTap for gestures.
Respect reduced motion: Use useReducedMotion().
Bundle discipline: Use LazyMotion for larger motion surfaces.

Workflow

Identify the UX purpose (feedback, transition, focus).
Add the smallest 'use client' boundary.
Implement enter/exit or layout transitions correctly.
Respect reduced motion preferences.
Check performance and bundle size.

Checklists

Implementation checklist

'use client' only where needed
Reduced motion behavior defined
AnimatePresence wraps conditional UI
Layout transitions use layout

Review checklist

Animations don’t re-run on every render
Motion code doesn’t expand the client tree unnecessarily

Minimal examples

Enter/exit

tsx

"use client";

import { AnimatePresence, motion } from "motion/react";

export function Toast({
  open,
  children,
}: {
  open: boolean;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <AnimatePresence>
      {open ? (
        <motion.div
          initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 8 }}
          animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
          exit={{ opacity: 0, y: 8 }}
          transition={{ duration: 0.18 }}
        >
          {children}
        </motion.div>
      ) : null}
    </AnimatePresence>
  );
}

Layout animation

tsx

"use client";

import { motion } from "motion/react";

export function Expander({ open }: { open: boolean }) {
  return (
    <motion.div layout className="overflow-hidden rounded-md border p-3">
      <div className="font-medium">Title</div>
      {open ? <div className="mt-2 text-sm">More content...</div> : null}
    </motion.div>
  );
}

Reduced motion

tsx

"use client";

import { motion, useReducedMotion } from "motion/react";

export function FadeIn({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const reduce = useReducedMotion();
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={reduce ? false : { opacity: 0, y: 6 }}
      animate={reduce ? { opacity: 1 } : { opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.2 }}
    >
      {children}
    </motion.div>
  );
}

Common mistakes / pitfalls

Unmounting without AnimatePresence (exit animations never run)
Animating layout without layout
Putting Motion in a huge client tree
Animating large lists without virtualization

Questions about Motion

What does Motion do?

Implement smooth, accessible animations with motion/react (Framer Motion) in React. Motion is an agent skill from Asymmetric-al/core. Implement smooth, accessible animations with motion/react (Framer Motion) in React.

When should I use Motion?

Motion fits situations like: adding animations; layout transitions with motion; animatePresence.

How do I install Motion in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Asymmetric-al/core --skill motion -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/motion in Asymmetric-al/core) into .claude/skills/motion in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Motion in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Asymmetric-al/core --skill motion -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/motion in Asymmetric-al/core) into .agents/skills/motion in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Motion in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Asymmetric-al/core --skill motion -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/motion, .gemini/skills/motion, .github/skills/motion and .opencode/skills/motion in your project.

What does Motion need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Motion is instructions for the agent only.

Does Motion access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Motion safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Motion use?

Motion is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Motion use?

About 836 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Motion?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Motion: Animated React Component Libraries (Hainrixz/editor-pro-max, 264 stars), Motion Dev Animations (199-biotechnologies/motion-dev-animations-skill, 133 stars), Silk Design (bendrape1-byte/silk-design, 138 stars) and Goey Toast (anl331/goey-toast, 1.3k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Motion?
