Claude Code skill fails to respect reduced motion settings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A review of the Awwwards skill for Claude Code found that its animations do not respect the `prefers-reduced-motion` setting, despite a mention in its testing checklist. The skill's CSS snippet only affects CSS animations and transitions, leaving JavaScript-driven animations like those from GSAP and Lenis unaffected. To properly implement reduced motion for scroll-based animations, developers are advised to integrate the `gsap-core` skill, which offers `gsap.matchMedia()` functionality to handle such accessibility requirements.
