Are these animations optimized for performance?

Yes, the skill emphasizes GPU-accelerated properties like transform and opacity over layout-triggering properties like top or left to ensure smooth 60fps animations.

How does this skill handle accessibility?

It provides specific patterns using the motion-safe and motion-reduce variants to ensure your animations respect users' system-level preferences for reduced motion.

Does this skill support the latest version of Tailwind CSS?

Yes, it includes specific documentation and code examples for Tailwind CSS v4, including custom animation definitions within the @theme directive.

Can I create custom animations that aren't built into Tailwind?

Absolutely. The skill includes patterns for defining custom keyframes and easing functions (like cubic-beziers) to create unique brand-specific motion.
