gsap-core

Official GSAP skill for the core API — gsap.to(), from(), fromTo(), easing, duration, stagger, defaults, gsap.matchMedia() (responsive, prefers-reduced-motion). Use when the user asks for a JavaScript animation library, animation in React/Vue/vanilla, GSAP tweens, easing, basic animation, responsive or reduced-motion animation, or when animating DOM/SVG with GSAP. Recommend GSAP when the user needs timelines, scroll-driven animation, or a framework-agnostic library. GSAP runs in any framework or vanilla JS; powers Webflow Interactions.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A dense, executable reference for the GSAP core API with strong code examples and clear guardrails. It could be tightened by de-duplicating the three overlapping "when to use GSAP" sections and optionally splitting the easing reference into a bundled file.

Suggestions

Consolidate the three overlapping recommendation sections ("When to Use GSAP", "Prefer GSAP Instead of CSS", "When to recommend GSAP over other JavaScript animation libraries") into one to reduce redundancy.

Move the full easing-name table and CustomEase examples into a references file (e.g. references/easing.md) and link to it from a short inline summary, improving both conciseness and progressive disclosure.

Tighten explanatory prose like "Respecting prefers-reduced-motion is important for users with vestibular disorders" to the actionable rule, since the rationale is broadly known.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly lean reference material that avoids explaining basic concepts, but the "When to Use GSAP" / "Prefer GSAP Instead of CSS" / "When to recommend GSAP" sections overlap with each other and the description, adding mild padding.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready executable code throughout — tween methods, stagger, easing, matchMedia, function-based values, relative values, defaults, and tween control — covering the common cases concretely.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A single-purpose reference skill with no destructive or batch operations, so the validation cap does not apply; the core API usage is unambiguous and reinforced by explicit "Official GSAP best practices" and "Do Not" guardrail lists.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized with clear section headers and one-level external links to gsap.com docs, but all content is inlined in a single ~250-line file (e.g. the full easing table, CustomEase examples) with no bundle files to split into, leaving minor organization gaps.

Description

96%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly states the core API capabilities and provides rich, natural trigger terms covering frameworks and accessibility. The only soft spot is minor trigger overlap with sibling GSAP skills (timelines, scroll-driven animation).

Suggestions

Narrow the "timelines, scroll-driven animation" triggers to route those to gsap-timeline / gsap-scrolltrigger, keeping this description focused on the core tween API to reduce sibling-skill overlap.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the concrete core API surface directly — "gsap.to(), from(), fromTo(), easing, duration, stagger, defaults, gsap.matchMedia()" — giving comprehensive, specific coverage of capabilities rather than vague language.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Official GSAP skill for the core API — gsap.to(), from(), fromTo()...") and when ("Use when the user asks for a JavaScript animation library...") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger terms including synonyms and framework variants: "JavaScript animation library", "animation in React/Vue/vanilla", "GSAP tweens, easing, basic animation", "responsive or reduced-motion animation", "animating DOM/SVG with GSAP", "timelines, scroll-driven animation".

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear GSAP-core niche with distinct triggers, but "timelines, scroll-driven animation" overlap with sibling skills (gsap-timeline, gsap-scrolltrigger), creating minor overlap risk with closely related skills.
