What it does

Gsap Framer Scroll Animation is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill whenever the user wants to build scroll animations, scroll effects, parallax, scroll-triggered reveals, pinned sections, horizontal scroll, text animations, or any motion tied to scroll position — in vanilla JS, React, or Next.js. Covers GSAP ScrollTrigger (pinning, scrubbing, snapping, timelines, horizontal scroll, ScrollSmoother, matchMedia) and Framer Motion / Motion v12 (useScroll, useTransform, useSpring, whileInView, variants). Use this skill even if the user just says "animate on scroll"…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/framer.md` and `references/gsap.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web animation and motion. It works with GSAP, Motion, React and Next.js. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to build scroll animations
  • Scroll-triggered reveals
  • Pinned sections
  • Horizontal scroll

Example prompts

  • “animate on scroll”
  • “fade in as I scroll”
  • “make it scroll like Apple”
  • “/gsap-framer-scroll-animation”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fade-in on enter (GSAP)
  2. Fade-in on enter (Framer Motion)
  3. Scrub / scroll-linked (GSAP)
  4. Scroll-linked (Framer Motion)
  5. Pinned timeline (GSAP)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Gsap Framer Scroll Animation loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 214 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~214
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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.

description
Use this skill whenever the user wants to build scroll animations, scroll effects, parallax, scroll-triggered reveals, pinned sections, horizontal scroll, text animations, or any motion tied to scroll position — in vanilla JS, React, or Next.js. Covers GSAP ScrollTrigger (pinning, scrubbing, snapping, timelines, horizontal scroll, ScrollSmoother, matchMedia) and Framer Motion / Motion v12 (useScroll, useTransform, useSpring, whileInView, variants). Use this skill even if the user just says "animate on scroll", "fade in as I scroll", "make it scroll like Apple", "parallax effect", "sticky section", "scroll progress bar", or "entrance animation". Also triggers for Copilot prompt patterns for GSAP or Framer Motion code generation. Pairs with the premium-frontend-ui skill for creative philosophy and design-level polish.

GSAP & Framer Motion — Scroll Animations Skill

Production-grade scroll animations with GitHub Copilot prompts, ready-to-use code recipes, and deep API references.

Design Companion: This skill provides the technical implementation for scroll-driven motion. For the creative philosophy, design principles, and premium aesthetics that should guide how and when to animate, always cross-reference the premium-frontend-ui skill. Together they form a complete approach: premium-frontend-ui decides the what and why; this skill delivers the how.

Read the relevant reference file for full recipes and Copilot prompts:

  • GSAP → references/gsap.md — ScrollTrigger API, all recipes, React integration
  • Framer Motion → references/framer.md — useScroll, useTransform, all recipes

Setup (Always Do First)

GSAP
bash
npm install gsap
js
import gsap from 'gsap';
import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ScrollTrigger';
gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); // MUST call before any ScrollTrigger usage
Framer Motion (Motion v12, 2025)
bash
npm install motion   # new package name since mid-2025
# or: npm install framer-motion  — still works, same API
js
import { motion, useScroll, useTransform, useSpring } from 'motion/react';
// legacy: import { motion } from 'framer-motion'  — also valid

Workflow

  1. Interpret the user's intent to identify if GSAP or Framer Motion is the best fit.
  2. Read the relevant reference document in references/ for detailed APIs and patterns.
  3. Suggest the required package installation if not already present.
  4. Implement the scaffold for the animation structure, adhering to the requested format (React components, hook requirements, or vanilla JS).
  5. Apply the correct tools (scrolling vs in-view elements) ensuring accessibility options are present and hooks don't cause infinite re-renders.

The 5 Most Common Scroll Patterns

Quick reference — full recipes with Copilot prompts are in the reference files.

1. Fade-in on enter (GSAP)
js
gsap.from('.card', {
  opacity: 0, y: 50, stagger: 0.15, duration: 0.8,
  scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.card', start: 'top 85%' }
});
2. Fade-in on enter (Framer Motion)
jsx
<motion.div
  initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 40 }}
  whileInView={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
  viewport={{ once: true, margin: '-80px' }}
  transition={{ duration: 0.6 }}
/>
3. Scrub / scroll-linked (GSAP)
js
gsap.to('.hero-img', {
  scale: 1.3, opacity: 0, ease: 'none',
  scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.hero', start: 'top top', end: 'bottom top', scrub: true }
});
4. Scroll-linked (Framer Motion)
jsx
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll({ target: ref, offset: ['start end', 'end start'] });
const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [0, -100]);
return <motion.div style={{ y }} />;
5. Pinned timeline (GSAP)
js
const tl = gsap.timeline({
  scrollTrigger: { trigger: '.section', pin: true, scrub: 1, start: 'top top', end: '+=200%' }
});
tl.from('.title', { opacity: 0, y: 60 }).from('.img', { scale: 0.85 });

Critical Rules (Apply Always)

  • GSAP: always call gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger) before using it
  • GSAP scrub: always use ease: 'none' — easing feels wrong when scrub is active
  • GSAP React: use useGSAP from @gsap/react, never plain useEffect — it auto-cleans ScrollTriggers
  • GSAP debug: add markers: true during development; remove before production
  • Framer: useTransform output must go into style prop of a motion.* element, not a plain div
  • Framer Next.js: always add 'use client' at top of any file using motion hooks
  • Both: animate only transform and opacity — avoid width, height, box-shadow
  • Accessibility: always check prefers-reduced-motion — see each reference file for patterns
  • Premium polish: follow the premium-frontend-ui skill principles for motion timing, easing curves, and restraint — animation should enhance, never overwhelm

Copilot Prompting Tips

  • Give Copilot the full selector, base image, and scroll range upfront — vague prompts produce vague code
  • For GSAP, always specify: selector, start/end strings, whether you want scrub or toggleActions
  • For Framer, always specify: which hook (useScroll vs whileInView), offset values, what to transform
  • Paste the exact error message when asking /fix — Copilot fixes are dramatically better with real errors
  • Use @workspace scope in Copilot Chat so it reads your existing component structure
