## Author's description

Motion and interaction design expert based on Emil Kowalski, Jakub Krehel, and Jhey Tompkins' techniques. Two modes — build interactive components with purposeful motion, or audit existing animations to catch AI-slop motion patterns (audit emits a branded HTML report with looping demos). Use when creating, adding, animating, or reviewing UI motion: transitions, hover states, micro-interactions, enter/exit animations, or any motion design work in React, Framer Motion, CSS, or HTML. Provides per-designer perspectives with context-aware weighting.
