Features

Select plugins for layout transitions, dragging, text splitting or SVG animation.
Check plugin registration and disposal to avoid duplicate text wrappers and stale listeners.

When to use it

Useful for filtered-layout transitions, draggable interfaces and advanced text motion; add only required runtime dependencies.

Before you start

Requires a working frontend project and GSAP. Installing this Skill does not add animation dependencies to your app; the GSAP runtime and plugins have their own license.

Usage example

Follow this illustrative workflow, replacing file names and goals with your own project details.

Smooth a filtered portfolio layout

What to prepare: An existing portfolio grid, category filters and stable item identifiers.
Workflow: Capture pre-change positions with Flip and animate after the DOM update, keeping empty results and repeated filters usable.
Expected deliverables: Layout transitions, plugin cleanup and checks for empty results and rapid switching.

Recommended prompts

Replace the bracketed placeholders, then paste into an AI tool with this skill installed. Prompts follow the interface language; copying preserves the full text and line breaks.

Use the gsap-plugins Skill for the filtered portfolio grid in [project path]. Read the existing components and interaction constraints, then make the smallest necessary changes while preserving content and keyboard behavior. Check plugin cleanup, repeated actions, keyboard access and DOM restoration and provide a usable reduced-motion fallback. Report only checks actually run; do not claim unmeasured performance improvements.

Review the filtered portfolio grid just implemented, focusing on plugin cleanup, repeated actions, keyboard access and DOM restoration. Confirm that content remains readable and usable without motion, repeated navigation does not accumulate animations or listeners, and list fixes plus environments not yet verified.
