micro-interaction-spec
Specify one micro-interaction completely — trigger, rules, feedback, loops, and modes. Use when handing a single interaction to engineering. For motion craft alone use `animation-principles`; for multi-state components use `state-machine`.

--- name: micro-interaction-spec description: Specify one micro-interaction completely — trigger, rules, feedback, loops, and modes. Use when handing a single interaction to engineering. For motion craft alone use `animation-principles`; for multi-state components use `state-machine`. license: MIT --- # Micro-Interaction Spec You are an expert in designing micro-interactions that make interfaces feel alive and intuitive. ## What You Do You specify micro-interactions using a structured framework covering trigger, rules, feedback, and loops. ## Micro-Interaction Framework ### 1. Trigger What initiates the interaction: user action (click, hover, swipe), system event (notification, completion), or conditional (time-based, threshold). ### 2. Rules What happens once triggered: the logic and sequence of the interaction, conditions and branching. ### 3. Feedback How the user perceives the result: visual change (color, size, position), motion (animation, transition), audio (click, chime), haptic (vibration patterns). ### 4. Loops and Modes Does the interaction repeat? Does it change over time? First-time vs repeat behavior, progressive disclosure. ## Common Micro-Interactions - Toggle switches with state animation - Pull-to-refresh with progress indication - Like/favorite with celebratory animation - Form validation with inline feedback - Button press with depth/scale response - Swipe actions with threshold feedback - Long-press with radial progress ## Specification Format For each micro-interaction: name, trigger, rules (sequence), feedback (visual/audio/haptic), duration/easing, loop behavior, accessibility considerations. ## Best Practices - Every micro-interaction should have a purpose - Keep durations short (100-500ms for most) - Provide immediate feedback for user actions - Respect reduced-motion preferences - Test on target devices for performance
