What it does
Motion is an agent skill from theexperiencecompany/gaia. Build React animations with Motion (Framer Motion) - gestures (drag, hover, tap), scroll effects, spring physics, layout animations, SVG. Bundle: 2.3 KB (mini) to 34 KB (full). Use when: drag-and-drop, scroll animations, modals, carousels, parallax. Troubleshoot: AnimatePresence exit, list performance, Tailwind conflicts, Next.js "use client".
Its SKILL.md is about 6.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `references/common-patterns.md` and `references/motion-vs-auto-animate.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web animation and motion and CSS and styling. It works with React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS and Motion. The repository describes itself as: Your proactive personal AI assistant & companion for daily productivity 🌎.
When your agent uses it
- : drag-and-drop
- Scroll animations
Example prompts
- “use client”
- “/motion”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- AnimatePresence (Exit Animations)
- Layout Animations
- Scroll Animations
- Reduce Bundle Size with LazyMotion
- Hardware Acceleration
- Large Lists → Use Virtualization
- Use layout Prop for FLIP Animations
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26424cb. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pnpmnpmyarn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.commotion.devnpmjs.com
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 6.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,077 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,077 words (~6,657 tokens).
“Motion (package: motion, formerly framer-motion) is the industry-standard React animation library used in production by thousands of applications. With 30,200+ GitHub stars and 300+ official examples, it provides a declarative API for creating sophisticated animations with minimal code.”

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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Motion use?
Motion has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Motion use?
About 6.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 27k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 15k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
