Interaction Design

SkillCommunication

Design and implement microinteractions, motion design, transitions, and user feedback patterns. Use when adding polish to UI interactions, implementing loading states, creating gesture-based interactions, designing hover/focus states, building notification/toast systems, adding scroll-triggered animations, implementing drag-and-drop, or creating delightful user experiences.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by poteto/noodle in .agents/skills/interaction-design/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Create engaging, intuitive interactions through motion, feedback, and thoughtful state transitions.

Project Conventions

  • Preferred library: Framer Motion for React component animations
  • CSS animations: Use transform and opacity only for 60fps performance
  • Spring physics: Prefer spring animations over linear/eased for interactive elements
  • Interruptible: Users must be able to cancel or override any animation

Timing Scale

DurationUse Case
100-150msMicro-feedback (hovers, clicks)
200-300msSmall transitions (toggles, dropdowns)
300-500msMedium transitions (modals, page changes)
500ms+Complex choreographed animations

Accessibility

Always respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. Set animation duration to 0 when the user prefers reduced motion. This is non-negotiable.
