emil-design-eng
Agent skill from emilkowalski/skills.
What it does
- Spatial consistency: toast enters and exits from the same direction, making swipe-to-dismiss feel intuitive
- State indication: a morphing feedback button shows the state change
- Explanation: a marketing animation that shows how a feature works
- Feedback: a button scales down on press, confirming the interface heard the user
- Preventing jarring changes: elements appearing or disappearing without transition feel broken
- A fast-spinning spinner makes loading feel faster (same load time, different perception)
- A 180ms select animation feels more responsive than a 400ms one
Requirements & configuration
- Don't require dragging past a threshold. Calculate velocity: Math.abs(dragDistance) / elapsedTime. If velocity exceeds ~0.11, dismiss regardless of distance. A quick flick should be enough.
