What it does

Staggered Word Reveal is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Create subtle editorial word-by-word text reveal animations where each word fades and rises into place once it enters the viewport. Use for premium portfolio headlines, hero copy, section intros, and short marketing text that needs a cinematic staggered reveal with IntersectionObserver or in-view detection.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. It works with JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Premium portfolio headlines
Short marketing text that needs a cinematic staggered reveal with IntersectionObserver
In-view detection

Example prompts

“/staggered-word-reveal”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 645553c. 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 html, css and javascript).
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

Staggered Word Reveal loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 285 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

Staggered Word Reveal

Use When

A short headline, intro, or pull quote should reveal word by word.
The motion should feel editorial, premium, and restrained.
The reveal should trigger only once when the text enters the viewport.
The project does not need heavy GSAP SplitText behavior.

Motion Defaults

Initial state: opacity: 0, transform: translateY(20px).
Final state: opacity: 1, transform: translateY(0).
Duration: 0.8s.
Ease: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1).
Stagger: 0.06s to 0.08s per word. Default to 0.07s.
Trigger: start around 20% visible, with a slight lower viewport bias.
Replay: once only.

HTML

html

<h1 class="word-reveal" data-word-reveal>
  Build interfaces that feel calm, cinematic, and alive.
</h1>

CSS

Keep no-JS content visible. Hide only after JavaScript is active and before the text has been split.

css

.word-reveal {
  visibility: visible;
}

html.js .word-reveal[data-word-reveal]:not(.is-ready) {
  opacity: 0;
}

.word-reveal__word {
  display: inline-block;
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translate3d(0, 20px, 0);
  transition:
    opacity 0.8s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1),
    transform 0.8s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
  transition-delay: calc(var(--word-index) * 0.07s);
  will-change: opacity, transform;
}

.word-reveal.is-visible .word-reveal__word {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  html.js .word-reveal[data-word-reveal]:not(.is-ready),
  .word-reveal__word {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: none;
    transition: none;
  }
}

JavaScript

This splitter preserves spaces, avoids innerHTML, exposes the original sentence to screen readers, and unobserves after the first reveal.

document.documentElement.classList.add("js");

function splitWordReveal(element) {
  if (element.dataset.wordRevealReady === "true") return;

  const text = element.textContent || "";
  const parts = text.split(/(\s+)/);
  let wordIndex = 0;

  element.textContent = "";
  element.setAttribute("aria-label", text.trim());

  parts.forEach((part) => {
    if (!part.trim()) {
      element.appendChild(document.createTextNode(part));
      return;
    }

    const word = document.createElement("span");
    word.className = "word-reveal__word";
    word.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "true");
    word.style.setProperty("--word-index", wordIndex);
    word.textContent = part;

    element.appendChild(word);
    wordIndex += 1;
  });

  element.dataset.wordRevealReady = "true";
  element.classList.add("is-ready");
}

function initWordReveals(selector = "[data-word-reveal]") {
  const elements = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector));
  const reduceMotion = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)").matches;

  if (reduceMotion || !("IntersectionObserver" in window)) {
    elements.forEach((element) => {
      element.classList.add("is-ready", "is-visible");
    });
    return;
  }

  const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
    (entries, io) => {
      entries.forEach((entry) => {
        if (!entry.isIntersecting) return;

        entry.target.classList.add("is-visible");
        io.unobserve(entry.target);
      });
    },
    {
      threshold: 0.2,
      rootMargin: "0px 0px -10% 0px",
    }
  );

  elements.forEach((element) => {
    splitWordReveal(element);
    observer.observe(element);
  });
}

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  initWordReveals();
});

Framework Notes

React/Vue/Svelte: run the splitter after mount, then clean up observer instances on route changes.
Framer Motion: keep the same tokens: y: 20, opacity: 0, duration 0.8, ease [0.16, 1, 0.3, 1], stagger 0.06 to 0.08, once: true.
GSAP: use fromTo(words, { y: 20, opacity: 0 }, { y: 0, opacity: 1, duration: 0.8, ease: "expo.out", stagger: 0.07 }).

Taste Rules

Use on short text: headlines, subheads, labels, and quotes. Avoid long paragraphs.
Stagger words, not letters, for a calmer premium feel.
Keep the offset subtle. Do not add bounce, rotation, or large blur.
Animate transform and opacity only.
Do not split text containing links, buttons, or meaningful inline markup.
If wrapping is important, initialize after web fonts are ready.

Quick Checks

Text is visible when JavaScript is disabled.
Words begin at translateY(20px) and opacity: 0.
Each word reveals once with a 0.06s to 0.08s delay.
Repeated scrolling does not replay the animation.
Reduced-motion users see static readable text.
