2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 3 stars3 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use this skill for Browser CSS transitions, keyframes, scroll-driven animations, registered properties, discrete transitions, reduced motion, and performance-safe CSS motion. Trigger on CSS transition, @keyframes, animation-timeline, prefers-reduced-motion, @starting-style, transition-behavior, CSS animation. Do not use for near-miss tasks outside these boundaries; route to adjacent motion or platform skills when they own the implementation.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Web CSS Animations
Browser CSS transitions, keyframes, scroll-driven animations, registered properties, discrete transitions, reduced motion, and performance-safe CSS motion.
Operating Contract
Use this skill as a compact router plus domain checklist. Load references only when the current task matches their condition. Do not cite local scrape paths, machine cache paths, or hidden source locations. Verify API details against the target repo's installed package versions before editing.
Source Order
- Inspect the target repo's installed packages, framework/runtime versions, local design tokens, accessibility policy, and existing motion patterns.
- Use the bundled references below for skill-specific gotchas and copied source excerpts.
- Use official current docs/package source as API truth when local code or bundled notes are version-sensitive.
Decision Boundaries
- Use CSS first for two-state UI motion.
- Move to WAAPI when an Animation object or seeking is needed.
- Move to GSAP for complex imperative choreography.
Workflow
- Identify the state driver and animated properties.
- Use explicit transition-property lists and product motion tokens.
- Add reduced-motion behavior beside the motion.
- Guard new CSS with @supports or local browser policy.
Gotchas
- transition: all hides expensive accidental properties.
- Unregistered custom properties animate discretely.
- animation shorthand resets animation-timeline, so set timeline after shorthand.

Audit CLI
node scripts/audit.mjs doctor --root . --format json
node scripts/audit.mjs scan --root . --format markdown
node scripts/audit.mjs scan --root . --format json --output web-css-animations-audit.json
Treat script findings as leads. Verify every finding against current code before changing behavior or reporting it as valid.
Closeout
Before finalizing, run the repo's focused validation command, this skill's audit CLI when relevant, and any browser/device/manual proof required by the changed surface. Report commands run, findings fixed, findings skipped with reasons, and residual risk.
