Build or review animation on plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript sites: GSAP page intros/outros, component show/hide, scroll effects, cross-document View Transitions, bfcache, and fetch/swap navigation with Swup, Barba, or Taxi. Use for first-paint flashes or interrupted navigation, even when GSAP is unnamed. Also covers hidden-content recovery and first-load performance. Not for component frameworks or isolated GSAP API questions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GSAP Vanilla

**mount → initial state → intro → settled → outro → end state → unmount**

On full document loads, the browser owns mount and unmount; animation owns the five phases between them. On same-document swaps, the router owns node replacement and persistent resources need explicit cleanup.

Keep the requested look and existing project conventions. Add GSAP/plugins only as needed; do not replace the chosen animation library unless asked.

This skill decides when motion runs. For what moves, and for a feel such as premium or playful, also load the `animaxxing` skill when it is installed: its recipes and its guide to finding the vibe plug into this lifecycle.

## Start with the project

Read repository instructions, existing animation, layouts, navigation, CSS, accessibility conventions, and checks. Then:

1. Find out how pages are produced: hand-written HTML, a static generator with no client framework, a bundler such as Vite with no UI framework, or a transition library such as Swup, Barba, or Taxi. If a component framework renders the pages, say this skill does not cover it and use that framework's skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add johnpolacek/animaxxing-skills/gsap-vanilla@sha256:939f83c1ebe75489

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.8ddf542, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
