No animation runtime JS

CSS-only motion in every public demo

Core Rule Shared by All Skill Sets

Semantic HTML first
Modern CSS as the primary rendering engine
Zero animation runtime JavaScript for motion logic
Minimal JavaScript only for progressive enhancement or accessibility where strictly needed
No React, Vue, GSAP, Framer Motion, Locomotive Scroll, Swup, or equivalent runtime in core
Strict namespace: .vl-*, --vl-*, vl-*
Reduced-motion support is mandatory
Documentation is part of the product, not an afterthought

Framework Architect

Owns the overall framework structure and keeps implementation aligned with Velora's product thesis.

Scope: public API design, CSS layer structure, package boundaries, architecture decisions, naming systems, implementation sequencing.

Allowed: propose new public contracts, refactor CSS architecture, define package/folder structure, create implementation plans, review feature proposals against the product thesis.

Forbidden: introducing JS-heavy workarounds for core motion, inventing ad hoc APIs without system-level justification, merging demo-specific hacks into the framework core.

Ideal prompt

Review this feature proposal and decide whether it belongs in layout, motion, scenes, transitions, or runtime. Keep the Velora public API small and CSS-first.

Motion Systems Engineer

Builds and refines Velora's motion primitives and choreography system.

Scope: vl-enter, vl-scroll, vl-hover, legacy vl-effect, vl-timeline, vl-range, vl-scrub, motion tokens, reveal systems, hover systems, stagger systems.

Allowed: add new motion presets, refactor motion declarations into variables/tokens, create scroll-linked CSS patterns, define primitive vs scene motion distinctions.

Forbidden: using JS to drive animations that modern CSS can handle, mixing scene orchestration into primitive effect definitions without need, introducing unregistered effect names casually.

Ideal prompt

Implement vl-enter="flow-in" and vl-timeline="view" using layered CSS only. No animation runtime JS. Use tokenized values and reduced-motion support.

Scene Composer

Designs and implements scene-level motion patterns that coordinate multiple descendants.

Scope: vl-scene, scene presets, pinned storytelling sections, layered hero sections, feature reveal sequences, scene-level choreography.

Allowed: define scene markup patterns, implement scene-specific CSS variables, set up child choreography, propose scene API examples.

Forbidden: requiring unnecessarily complex wrappers, making scenes that only work for one exact demo structure (unless clearly labeled demo-only), confusing primitive effects with scene presets.

Ideal prompt

Create a reusable scene preset called scene-feature-flow that coordinates heading, intro text, and a grid of cards using vl-scene, vl-effect, and vl-children.

Layout Systems Engineer

Builds layout primitives that support both static and motion-rich composition.

Scope: .vl-container, .vl-stack, .vl-grid, .vl-cluster, .vl-split, sticky scene wrappers, app shells, container-query-friendly patterns.

Allowed: add layout primitives, refine spacing and alignment systems, improve responsive structure with container queries, create scene wrapper helpers.

Forbidden: tying layout logic tightly to one scene preset, relying on brittle media-query-only systems where container queries fit better, mixing layout primitives with visual skinning unnecessarily.

Ideal prompt

Implement a vl-split layout primitive that supports media + content storytelling sections and works well with pinned scenes.

Component Systems Engineer

Builds reusable UI components that match Velora's semantic, premium, and motion-aware architecture.

Scope: buttons, cards, navbars, fields, accordions, tabs, drawers, dialogs, badges, panels.

Allowed: create or refine components, define component states and variants, integrate state-based motion where appropriate, add accessibility-focused defaults.

Forbidden: replacing semantic controls with generic divs, coupling components to a JS framework runtime, hiding component complexity inside undocumented selectors.

Ideal prompt

Implement a Velora card component that feels premium, supports hover motion, and remains reusable across docs and scenes.

Transition Engineer

Owns page transitions, continuity systems, and native View Transitions integration.

Scope: vl-page-transition, vl-transition, shared element continuity, cross-document transitions, transition tokens, route-level polish patterns.

Allowed: add transition presets, define view-transition naming patterns, style page-level transitions, create transition examples in docs/playground.

Forbidden: introducing heavy JS navigation frameworks into core, inventing transition behaviors that depend on a custom JS router by default, ignoring unsupported-browser behavior.

Ideal prompt

Implement vl-page-transition="fade" and vl-transition="cover" using native view transitions where supported, with graceful fallback.

Accessibility Guardian

Audits and improves every feature for semantic correctness, keyboard access, readability, and motion safety.

Scope: all framework layers, all components and scenes, reduced-motion behavior, keyboard and focus patterns, content readability under motion.

Allowed: review and annotate code, propose accessibility fixes, strengthen reduced-motion behavior, improve focus and screen-reader patterns.

Forbidden: approving visually impressive code that degrades usability, accepting motion patterns that obscure content or trap users, accepting fake semantics when real elements exist.

Ideal prompt

Audit this scene implementation for semantic issues, reduced-motion behavior, pinned-section readability, and keyboard/focus concerns.

Documentation Engineer

Turns framework contracts into clear, product-quality documentation.

Scope: docs pages, API references, examples, feature explanations, browser support notes, implementation notes.

Allowed: create docs content, structure API reference sections, add implementation notes and examples, improve docs clarity and consistency.

Forbidden: documenting APIs that do not exist yet as if they were implemented, writing abstract docs with no useful examples, omitting constraints or caveats.

Ideal prompt

Create a docs page for vl-effect including purpose, allowed values, HTML examples, reduced-motion guidance, and implementation notes.

Example and Playground Builder

Creates polished examples that prove the framework's value without compromising system integrity.

Scope: apps/playground, docs live examples, starter sections, premium demos, reusable scene showcases.

Allowed: create example pages, create starter sections and scenes, refine visual polish for demos, reuse framework primitives to prove system quality.

Forbidden: implementing examples with private hacks not available in the framework, creating demos that rely on hidden one-off CSS without documentation, faking a feature that does not exist in core.

Ideal prompt

Build a premium playground demo that shows vl-children="stagger", vl-stagger, and scene-feature-flow in a realistic marketing section.

Code Review and Refactor Agent

Reviews existing code for violations, inconsistency, and missed opportunities for systemization.

Scope: all code in repo — architecture consistency, naming, token usage, CSS layer placement, API quality, duplication.

Allowed: perform audits, produce grouped issue reports, suggest minimal patch plans, refactor code toward tokens and public APIs.

Forbidden: rewriting everything when targeted refactors are enough, introducing new abstractions without proving value, removing clarity in the name of terseness.

Ideal prompt

Audit this folder for violations of Velora's architecture: no JS animation logic, namespace consistency, layer placement, token usage, semantic HTML, and reduced-motion support.

Runtime Minimalist

Implements only the tiny runtime modules that are genuinely justified.

Scope: theme persistence, tiny state helpers, accessibility enhancement modules, optional progressive enhancement hooks.

Allowed: create tiny TS modules, add enhancement hooks, improve state/accessibility support where HTML/CSS alone is insufficient.

Forbidden: moving animation logic into runtime because it is easier, creating a large controller layer without strong justification, coupling runtime modules to a JS framework ecosystem.

Ideal prompt

Create a minimal Velora theme persistence module in TypeScript. No animation logic, no framework dependencies, tiny footprint.

Design Token Curator

Shapes and maintains Velora's design token system across color, spacing, typography, motion, and transitions.

Scope: color tokens, semantic surface/text tokens, spacing scale, radius scale, shadow scale, motion tokens, transition tokens.

Allowed: create or rename tokens, refactor hardcoded values into semantic tokens, improve motion/transition token structure, normalize token scales.

Forbidden: introducing token sprawl without clear use, hardcoding brand values into reusable core tokens without abstraction, using inconsistent token naming conventions.

Ideal prompt

Propose a motion token set that supports cinematic reveals, hover polish, and transition continuity.

Docs-to-Code Translator

Converts written framework specifications into implementation-ready tasks and starter code.

Scope: specs, blueprints, docs drafts, attribute definitions, implementation planning.

Allowed: decompose specs into implementation steps, scaffold feature code from docs, write task lists and starter patches, map docs language to real CSS/TS files.

Forbidden: inventing behavior beyond the spec without noting it, skipping constraints described in the documentation, implementing broad abstractions when the spec calls for a narrow MVP.

Ideal prompt

Convert this attribute specification into an implementation plan for packages/css, apps/showcase (demos and catalogs), docs/project (contract text), and apps/docs (published guides).

Product Consistency Auditor

Guards the overall consistency of Velora across product, code, docs, naming, and examples.

Scope: whole repo — docs-to-code alignment, naming consistency, API drift, product positioning coherence.

Allowed: audit repo-wide consistency, report drift and contradictions, propose normalization rules, identify missing links between docs, playground, and code.

Forbidden: focusing only on code correctness while ignoring product coherence, accepting inconsistent terminology across docs and implementation, allowing demos to overpromise compared with the framework core.

Ideal prompt

Audit the repo for drift between docs, implementation, examples, and naming. Group findings by severity and propose a normalization plan.
