What is GSAP AI Skills?
GSAP AI Skills is an official collection of agent skills for developers using AI coding assistants to write or review GSAP animations. It covers the core animation API, timeline sequencing, ScrollTrigger, plugins and utility functions, with guidance for React, Vue, Svelte and vanilla JavaScript.
The collection uses the Agent Skills format and can be installed through the skills CLI, supported agent installation mechanisms or by copying skill folders into an agent's skill directory. The repository also supplies instructions that can be copied or adapted for GitHub Copilot. Distributed under the MIT license, it provides guidance and reference examples rather than an animation runtime.
Key capabilities
- Core animation guidance Covers tweens, easing, staggered animation, defaults and playback control.
- Timeline and scroll patterns Documents sequencing, labels, nesting, ScrollTrigger configuration and cleanup.
- Plugin guidance Provides usage guidance for plugins including Flip, Draggable, SplitText and MorphSVG.
- Framework lifecycle handling Covers React scoping and cleanup, alongside Vue and Svelte lifecycle patterns.
- Responsive and reduced-motion patterns Explains media-query-based animation setup and respect for reduced-motion preferences.
- Performance practices Recommends transform-based animation, batching and layout-aware ScrollTrigger handling.
Where GSAP AI Skills fits
The collection fits into AI-assisted front-end development when an agent needs GSAP-specific context for building or reviewing interface animations, scroll-driven sequences or SVG effects. Teams can install the skills in their agent environment or copy the relevant guidance into a project.
Before adoption, teams should verify how their chosen agent loads instructions and which installation scope applies. The repository states that GitHub Copilot does not load Cursor or Claude skill files directly and instead requires copied or adapted Copilot instructions. Generated animation code still needs review for selector scoping, component cleanup, layout changes and reduced-motion behavior.
