Prompt
Replace [where] with the part of your page and paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the motion, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.
Add a "Rotate Out" exit animation to [where].
The element should spin around its center, a little over half a turn, while fading away: smooth, speeding up as it goes.
Remove it only after the spin ends, and hide it instantly when the user prefers reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion).Similar motions

Use for

The element glides in from off its container edge to its resting position without fading.
Use for
Drawers, side panels, banners

The element should glide in from beyond its container edge to its resting place, fully opaque the whole time: quick, decelerating smoothly with no bounce.

The element glides out past a container edge and disappears.
Use for
Closing drawers and panels

Also called Staggered Animation, Cascade
Items in a group animate one after another with a small delay, forming a wave instead of appearing all at once.
Use for
Lists, grids, navigation menus and search results
Add a "Stagger" animation (also called staggered animation or cascade) to [where].
Items should fade up one after another with a short, even delay, so the group appears as a quick wave instead of all at once.
Keep the whole sequence brief even for long lists, animate once when it scrolls into view, and skip the motion when the user prefers reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion).
