Motion Vue (motion-v)
Animation library for Vue 3 and Nuxt. Production-ready, hardware-accelerated animations with minimal bundle size.
Current stable: motion-v 1.x - Vue port of Motion (formerly Framer Motion)
Overview
Progressive reference for Motion Vue animations. Load only files relevant to current task (~200 tokens base, 500-1500 per sub-file).
When to Use
Use Motion Vue for:
- Simple declarative animations (fade, slide, scale)
- Gesture-based interactions (hover, tap, drag)
- Scroll-linked animations
- Layout animations and shared element transitions
- Spring physics animations
Consider alternatives:
- GSAP - Complex timelines, SVG morphing, scroll-triggered sequences
- @vueuse/motion - Simpler API, less features, smaller bundle
- CSS animations - Simple transitions without JS
Installation
# Vue 3
pnpm add motion-v
# Nuxt 3
pnpm add motion-v @vueuse/nuxt
// nuxt.config.ts - Nuxt 3 setup
export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['motion-v/nuxt'],
})

| Motion component, gestures | references/components.md |
| useMotionValue, useScroll | references/composables.md |
| Animation examples, patterns | references/examples.md |
Loading Files
Consider loading these reference files based on your task:
- [ ] references/components.md - if using Motion component, gestures, or layout animations
- [ ] references/composables.md - if using useMotionValue, useScroll, useSpring, or animate()
- [ ] references/examples.md - if looking for animation patterns or inspiration
DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
Core Concepts
Motion Component
Render any HTML/SVG element with animation capabilities:
<script setup lang="ts">
import { motion } from 'motion-v'
</script>
<template>
<motion.div
:initial="{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }"
:animate="{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }"
:exit="{ opacity: 0, y: -20 }"
:transition="{ duration: 0.3 }"
>
Animated content
</motion.div>
</template>
Gesture Animations
<motion.button
:whileHover="{ scale: 1.05 }"
:whilePress="{ scale: 0.95 }"
:transition="{ type: 'spring', stiffness: 400 }"
>
Click me
</motion.button>
Scroll Animations
<motion.div
:initial="{ opacity: 0 }"
:whileInView="{ opacity: 1 }"
:viewport="{ once: true, margin: '-100px' }"
>
Appears on scroll
</motion.div>
Available Guidance
references/components.md - Motion component variants, animation props, gesture props, layout animations, transition configuration
references/composables.md - useMotionValue, useSpring, useTransform, useScroll, useInView, animate()

cache-components
Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.

component-refactoring
Refactor high-complexity React components in Dify frontend. Use when `pnpm analyze-component --json` shows complexity > 50 or lineCount > 300, when the user asks for code splitting, hook extraction, or complexity reduction, or when `pnpm analyze-component` warns to refactor before testing; avoid for simple/well-structured components, third-party wrappers, or when the user explicitly wants testing without refactoring.
