Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads orchestrated-sequences automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Orchestrated Sequences
Orchestrated sequences coordinate multiple elements across time. Like a conductor directing an orchestra, you control when each element enters, how it moves, and how elements relate.
Disney Principles for Orchestration
Ensemble Coordination
Squash & Stretch: Unified style - all elements should share consistent elasticity. Mix bouncy and stiff looks chaotic.
Anticipation: Staggered preparation - lead element anticipates first, others follow in sequence.
Staging: Clear hierarchy - primary action leads, secondary elements support but don't compete.
Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose: Pose to pose mandatory - choreography requires precise timing control.
Follow Through: Cascading settle - elements land in sequence with overlapping follow-through.
Slow In/Slow Out: Shared easing family - use variations of same curve for cohesion.
Arcs: Coordinated paths - elements should move in complementary directions, not randomly.
Secondary Action: Intentional support - every element has a role in the composition.
Timing: The heart of orchestration - stagger delays, duration variations, tempo changes.
Exaggeration: Proportional emphasis - primary elements more exaggerated, supporting less.
Solid Drawing: Consistent dimensional logic - shared perspective, depth, scale relationships.
Appeal: Unified performance - the sequence should feel like one composed moment.
Timing Strategies
/* Linear stagger - equal delays */
.item:nth-child(n) {
transition-delay: calc(var(--index) * 50ms);
}
/* Accelerating stagger - getting faster */
.item:nth-child(1) { transition-delay: 0ms; }
.item:nth-child(2) { transition-delay: 80ms; }
.item:nth-child(3) { transition-delay: 140ms; }
.item:nth-child(4) { transition-delay: 180ms; }
/* Decelerating stagger - slowing down */
.item:nth-child(1) { transition-delay: 0ms; }
.item:nth-child(2) { transition-delay: 40ms; }
.item:nth-child(3) { transition-delay: 100ms; }
.item:nth-child(4) { transition-delay: 180ms; }
Easing Recommendations
/* Cohesive family - same curve, different durations */
.primary { transition: all 400ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1); }
.secondary { transition: all 350ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1); }
.tertiary { transition: all 300ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1); }
/* Sequence curve - smooth start, confident end */
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1);

Implementation Pattern
/* Staggered reveal system */
.orchestrated-item {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(20px);
transition: opacity 300ms ease-out,
transform 400ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.orchestrated-item.visible {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
/* Apply delays via CSS custom properties or nth-child */
.orchestrated-item:nth-child(1) { transition-delay: 0ms; }
.orchestrated-item:nth-child(2) { transition-delay: 75ms; }
.orchestrated-item:nth-child(3) { transition-delay: 150ms; }
.orchestrated-item:nth-child(4) { transition-delay: 225ms; }
// JS orchestration for complex sequences
const sequence = [
{ el: '.hero', delay: 0, duration: 500 },
{ el: '.title', delay: 100, duration: 400 },
{ el: '.subtitle', delay: 200, duration: 350 },
{ el: '.cta', delay: 350, duration: 400 },
];
Key Insight
Orchestration is composition in time. Just as visual design arranges elements in space, animation orchestration arranges motion in time. The goal is a single, coherent performance, not a collection of individual animations.

How do I install orchestrated-sequences?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/dylantarre/animation-principles --skill orchestrated-sequences in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/orchestrated-sequences/ (personal) or .claude/skills/orchestrated-sequences/ (project).
Which AI agents can use orchestrated-sequences?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is orchestrated-sequences safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
