What it does
Applies Animate.css v4.1.1 animations across HTML, React/JSX components, and WordPress PHP templates. Covers the full Animate.css class catalogue (attention seekers, bouncing, fading, flipping, rotating, sliding, zooming, specials) and extracts only the keyframes you need from the bundled assets/animate.min.css. Adds scroll-triggered reveals using the Intersection Observer API, RTL-aware directional flipping for right-to-left layouts, and prefers-reduced-motion compliance to respect user accessibility preferences.
When NOT to use
- Custom keyframe animations built from scratch (use
css-animation-skill) - Interactive gesture-driven animations requiring JavaScript state (use
framer-motion-skills)
