What Motion Meaning does

Classify UI animation as communicative or decorative and apply the right reduced-motion strategy so meaning survives under reduced motion. Use for auditing, authoring, or verifying web motion accessibility.

Motion Meaning is cataloged under Frontend on DirSkills. Motion Meaning comes from a repository tagged animation, claude-code, claude-skill, design-engineering and icons.

Documentation

README

Motion Meaning

Reduced motion isn't about removing animation. It's about deciding what remains when animation disappears.

Ask once, before writing or patching any reduce branch:

Is the motion sequence the content, or is it decorating a result that exists either way?

  • Communicative (sequence = content) → keep the destination; change how you get there (snap end state, or reduce complexity).
  • Decorative (decorating a result) → bail, or collapse the transition. No substitute required.

Grep for prefers-reduced-motion proves almost nothing. Touches ≠ reachable ≠ correct.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
