Best practices for animations in React that stay buttery-smooth (60fps, no jank) — because motion and performance have to coexist: a beautiful animation that stutters is worse than none. Use this whenever you add, review, or fix animation in a React/Next app: framer-motion / `motion` / `m`, springs, variants, `AnimatePresence`, layout animations, scroll reveals, parallax, gesture/hover micro-interactions, page or route transitions, staggered or kinetic text, count-ups, custom cursors, marquees, View Transitions. Trigger it even when the user just says "add some animation", "make it animated / interactive / alive", "animate this", "add a transition", or complains that an animation feels janky / laggy / stuttery / "travado". Core promise: keep React out of the per-frame loop and animate on the GPU compositor — every effect the designer wanted, paid for in the right place.

From the source SKILL.md

Animation is where an interface earns the word "quality." But the same motion that delights at 60fps feels broken at 30. So in React, animation and performance are not two topics — they're one. Almost every janky React animation traces to the same root cause: React is doing work on a frame it shouldn't be on. Get React out of the per-frame loop and push the motion onto the GPU compositor, and smoothness stops being something you tune after the fact — it's structural.
