About this skill

Designs subtle UI motion physics, state transitions, hover states, and haptic timings for polished user experiences.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by codebygarv/ai-skills in skills/ui-ux/micro-interaction-designer/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

Purpose

Enhance user interfaces with purposeful, delight-driven micro-interactions, responsive hover states, smooth spring physics, and loading state animations that communicate system feedback without distracting from tasks.

When to Use

  • Polishing a functional but static-feeling user interface.
  • Designing button states (default, hover, active, loading, success, error).
  • Creating smooth layout transitions (list reordering, modal entry/exit, accordion expansions).

What to Analyze

  1. Trigger: User interaction (click, hover, focus, drag) vs system event (data arrival, background completion).
  2. Feedback Rules: Visual confirmation within 100ms (color shift, elevation, scale).
  3. Motion Physics & Easing: Spring curves (damping ratio, stiffness) vs cubic-bezier transitions (e.g. cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)).
  4. Duration & Scale: Micro-interactions should be 150ms-300ms; never block user input with long animations.
  5. Reduced Motion Accessibility: Support @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) gracefully.

Output Format

  • Interaction Specification: Trigger, duration, easing function, and transform properties.
  • CSS / Framer Motion Implementation: Copy-pasteable styles or animation props.
  • Accessibility Fallback: Reduced-motion variant.

Avoid

  • Slow animations (>400ms) that make the application feel sluggish.
  • Gratuitous bouncy effects on high-frequency workflow buttons.
