Animation Extraction Command

Overview

Extract animation and transition patterns from web pages using CSS extraction, visual analysis, or interactive questioning. This command generates production-ready animation tokens and guidelines that integrate with design systems.

Strategy: Hybrid Extraction with Interactive Fallback

• Auto Mode (Priority 1): Extract from CSS via Chrome DevTools when URLs provided
• Visual Mode (Priority 2): Analyze screenshots for motion cues (blur, position changes)
• Interactive Mode (Priority 3): Guided questioning when extraction insufficient
• Output: animation-tokens.json + animation-guide.md

Phase 0: Setup & Input Validation

Step 1: Detect Input Mode & Base Path

# Detect input source
# Priority: --urls → url mode | --mode interactive → question mode

# Parse URLs if provided (format: "target:url,target:url,...")
IF --urls:
    url_list = []
    FOR pair IN split(--urls, ","):
        IF ":" IN pair:
            target, url = pair.split(":", 1)
            url_list.append({target: target.strip(), url: url.strip()})
        ELSE:
            url_list.append({target: "page", url: pair.strip()})

    has_urls = true
    primary_url = url_list[0].url
ELSE:
    has_urls = false

# Determine extraction mode
extraction_mode = --mode OR (has_urls ? "auto" : "interactive")

# Parse animation focus (if provided)
IF --focus:
    focus_types = split(--focus, ",")  # e.g., "transitions,hover,scroll"
ELSE:
    focus_types = ["all"]  # Extract all animation types

# Determine base path
bash(find .workflow -type d -name "design-*" | head -1)  # Auto-detect
# OR use --base-path / --session parameters

Step 2: Load Design Tokens Context

# Load existing design tokens for duration/easing alignment
IF exists({base_path}/style-extraction/style-1/design-tokens.json):
    design_tokens = Read({base_path}/style-extraction/style-1/design-tokens.json)
    has_design_context = true
ELSE:
    has_design_context = false
    WARN: "⚠️ No design tokens found - animation tokens will use standalone values"

# Create output directory
bash(mkdir -p {base_path}/animation-extraction)
bash(mkdir -p {base_path}/.intermediates/animation-analysis)

Phase 0 Output: extraction_mode, base_path, has_urls, url_list[], focus_types[], has_design_context

Phase 1: CSS Animation Extraction (Auto Mode - URL Required)

Step 1: Check Extraction Mode

# extraction_mode == "interactive" → skip to Phase 2
# extraction_mode == "auto" AND has_urls → execute this phase

If interactive mode: Skip to Phase 2

Step 2: Extract Computed Animations (Auto-Trigger)

# AUTO-TRIGGER: If URLs are available, automatically extract CSS animations/transitions

IF has_urls AND mcp_chrome_devtools_available:
    REPORT: "🔍 Auto-triggering URL mode: Extracting CSS animations and transitions"

    # Read extraction script

    FOR url_info IN url_list:
        target = url_info.target
        url = url_info.url

        REPORT: "   Processing: {target} ({url})"

        # Open page in Chrome DevTools
        mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page(url=url)

        # Wait for page to fully load and animations to initialize
        bash(sleep 2)

        # Execute extraction script
        result = mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script(function=script_content)

        # Save raw animation data
        Write({base_path}/.intermediates/animation-analysis/animations-{target}.json, result)

        REPORT: "   ✅ Extracted: {result.summary.total_animations} animations, {result.summary.total_transitions} transitions"

    animations_extracted = true
    REPORT: "   ✅ CSS animation extraction complete"
ELSE IF has_urls AND NOT mcp_chrome_devtools_available:
    animations_extracted = false
    REPORT: "⚠️ Chrome DevTools MCP not available"
    REPORT: "   Falling back to interactive mode for animation guidance"
ELSE:
    animations_extracted = false

Extraction Script Reference: ~/.claude/scripts/extract-animations.js

Usage: Read the script file and use content directly in mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script()

Script returns:

• metadata: Extraction timestamp, URL, method
• transitions: Array of transition definitions (property, duration, easing, delay)
• animations: Array of keyframe animations (name, duration, easing, keyframes)
• transforms: Common transform patterns
• summary: Statistics (total_animations, total_transitions, unique_easings)

Benefits:

• ✅ Real animation values from production sites
• ✅ Captures all CSS transitions and @keyframes rules
• ✅ Identifies common easing functions and durations
• ✅ Maps animations to element selectors

Phase 1 Output: animations-{target}.json (intermediate files)

Phase 2: Interactive Animation Specification (Interactive/Fallback Mode)

Step 1: Check if Extraction Sufficient

# If animations extracted from CSS, check coverage
IF animations_extracted:
    total_animations = sum([data.summary.total_animations for data in all_extracted])
    total_transitions = sum([data.summary.total_transitions for data in all_extracted])

    # If sufficient data found, skip interactive mode
    IF total_animations >= 3 OR total_transitions >= 5:
        REPORT: "✅ Sufficient animation data extracted from CSS"
        SKIP to Phase 3
    ELSE:
        REPORT: "⚠️ Limited animation data found - launching interactive mode"
        extraction_insufficient = true
ELSE:
    extraction_insufficient = true

Task(ui-design-agent): `
  [ANIMATION_TOKEN_GENERATION_TASK]
  Synthesize animation data into production-ready tokens - NO user interaction

  SESSION: {session_id} | BASE_PATH: {base_path}

  ## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Pure Synthesis Task
  - NO user questions or interaction
  - READ existing specification files ONLY
  - Generate tokens based on available data

  ## Input Sources (Read-Only)
  1. **Extracted CSS Animations** (if available):
     ${extracted_animations.length > 0 ? JSON.stringify(extracted_animations) : "None - skip CSS data"}

  2. **User Specification** (REQUIRED if Phase 2 ran):
     File: {base_path}/.intermediates/animation-analysis/animation-specification.json
     ${user_specification ? "Status: ✅ Found - READ this file for user choices" : "Status: ⚠️ Not found - use CSS extraction only"}

  3. **Design Tokens Context** (for alignment):
     ${design_tokens ? JSON.stringify(design_tokens) : "None - standalone animation system"}

  ## Synthesis Rules

  ### Priority System
  1. User specification from animation-specification.json (highest priority)
  2. Extracted CSS values from animations-*.json (medium priority)
  3. Industry best practices (fallback)

  ### Duration Normalization
  - IF user_specification.timing_scale EXISTS:
      Use user's chosen scale (fast/balanced/smooth/custom)
  - ELSE IF extracted CSS durations available:
      Cluster extracted durations into 3-5 semantic scales
  - ELSE:
      Use standard scale (instant:0ms, fast:150ms, normal:300ms, slow:500ms, very-slow:800ms)
  - Align with design token spacing scale if available

  ### Easing Standardization
  - IF user_specification.easing_philosophy EXISTS:
      Use user's chosen philosophy (linear/ease-out/ease-in-out/spring)
  - ELSE IF extracted CSS easings available:
      Identify common easing functions from CSS
  - ELSE:
      Use standard easings
  - Map to semantic names and convert to cubic-bezier format

  ### Animation Categorization
  Organize into:
  - **duration**: Timing scale (instant, fast, normal, slow, very-slow)
  - **easing**: Easing functions (linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, spring)
  - **transitions**: Property-specific transitions (color, transform, opacity, etc.)
  - **keyframes**: Named @keyframe animations (fadeIn, slideInUp, pulse, etc.)
  - **interactions**: Interaction-specific presets (button-hover, card-hover, input-focus, etc.)
  - **page_transitions**: Route/view change animations (if user enabled)
  - **scroll_animations**: Scroll-triggered animations (if user enabled)

  ### User Specification Integration
  IF user_specification EXISTS:
    - Map user choices to token values:
      * timing_scale → duration values
      * easing_philosophy → easing curves
      * interactions.button → interactions.button-hover token
      * interactions.card → interactions.card-hover token
      * interactions.input → micro-interaction tokens
      * page_transitions → page_transitions tokens
      * loading_animations → loading state tokens
      * scroll_animations → scroll_animations tokens

Requirements: CSS var() format, valid cubic-bezier values, prefers-reduced-motion support

Error Handling

Common Errors

ERROR: No URL or interactive mode specified
→ Provide --urls for auto mode or use --mode interactive

ERROR: Chrome DevTools unavailable
→ Automatically falls back to interactive mode

ERROR: Insufficient animation data extracted
→ Launches interactive mode for supplemental input

ERROR: Invalid cubic-bezier values
→ Validates and corrects to nearest standard easing

Recovery Strategies

• CSS extraction failure: Falls back to interactive mode
• Partial extraction: Supplements with interactive questioning
• Invalid data: Validates and uses fallback values

Key Features

• Auto-Trigger CSS Extraction - Automatically extracts animations when --urls provided
• Hybrid Strategy - Combines CSS extraction with interactive specification
• Main Flow Interaction - User questions in main flow, agent only for token synthesis
• Intelligent Fallback - Gracefully handles extraction failures
• Context-Aware - Aligns with existing design tokens
• Production-Ready - CSS var() format, accessibility support
• Comprehensive Coverage - Transitions, keyframes, interactions, scroll animations
• Separated Concerns - User decisions (Phase 2 main flow) → Token generation (Phase 3 agent)

Integration

Workflow Position: Between style extraction and layout extraction (or parallel)

New Workflow:

1. /workflow:ui-design:style-extract → design-tokens.json + style-guide.md
2. /workflow:ui-design:animation-extract → animation-tokens.json + animation-guide.md (NEW)
3. /workflow:ui-design:layout-extract → layout-templates.json
4. /workflow:ui-design:generate:
   • Reads: design-tokens.json + animation-tokens.json + layout-templates.json
   • Generates: Prototypes with animation CSS included

Input: URLs (auto mode) or interactive questioning Output: animation-tokens.json + animation-guide.md Next: /workflow:ui-design:layout-extract OR /workflow:ui-design:generate

Note: This command extracts motion design patterns (animations, transitions) to complement visual style tokens. Can run in parallel with layout-extract.
