* feat(skills): align easing docs with motion doctrine, add baked springEase The easing adapter contradicted the workflow doctrine: it taught a power2.out entrance default and pitched back/elastic as playful defaults, while motion-language.md says power3 / smooth-beats-bouncy. A worker following the adapter produced exactly the flat, cheap motion users complain about. - gsap-easing-and-stagger: power3.out becomes the documented house default; back/elastic/bounce capped as RARE playful-only; new "Spring Eases (baked physics, seek-safe)" section — closed-form damped-spring ease springEase(response, dampingFraction), measured damping ladder, response/duration table, craft notes - gsap-timeline-and-labels: last leftover power2.out default -> power3 - spring-pop-entrance: exact-physics option (zeta=1) for the settle; playful variant now prefers spring zeta 0.6-0.7 over back.out - motion-language x3 (product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, pr-to-video): doctrine "Smooth beats bouncy" wired to the baked springEase — real physics, same doctrine, not a license for bounce Verified with node + GSAP 3.15: zeta=1 strictly monotone with zero overshoot; scrambled out-of-order seeks return bit-identical values; ease(0)=0 and ease(1)=1 exact; snippet re-extracted from the published markdown and re-run. * chore: format README.md (landed unformatted on main; unblocks the repo-wide Format check)

# Timelines and Labels
|
|
|
|
HyperFrames is a seek-driven runtime. Build one paused timeline per composition, attach it to `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"]`, and let HyperFrames seek it. Never call `.play()` for render-critical motion.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Timeline
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const tl = gsap.timeline({
|
|
paused: true,
|
|
defaults: { duration: 0.5, ease: "power3.out" },
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
tl.to(".a", { x: 100 }).to(".b", { y: 50 }).to(".c", { opacity: 0 });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Timeline options:
|
|
|
|
- **paused: true** — required in HyperFrames. The framework drives the playhead.
|
|
- **repeat**, **yoyo** — apply to the whole timeline. `repeat: -1` is forbidden; use finite counts.
|
|
- **defaults** — vars merged into every child tween. Use this instead of repeating `ease` and `duration` on every line.
|
|
|
|
## Position Parameter
|
|
|
|
The third argument to `.to()`/`.from()`/`.fromTo()` controls placement on the timeline:
|
|
|
|
| Form | Meaning |
|
|
| -------------- | ------------------------------------ |
|
|
| `0`, `1.5` | Absolute time in seconds |
|
|
| `"+=0.5"` | 0.5s after the end of the timeline |
|
|
| `"-=0.2"` | 0.2s before the end of the timeline |
|
|
| `"intro"` | At the `intro` label |
|
|
| `"intro+=0.3"` | 0.3s after the `intro` label |
|
|
| `"<"` | Same start as the previous tween |
|
|
| `">"` | Right after the previous tween ends |
|
|
| `"<0.2"` | 0.2s after the previous tween starts |
|
|
| `">-0.1"` | 0.1s before the previous tween ends |
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
tl.to(".a", { x: 100 }, 0);
|
|
tl.to(".b", { y: 50 }, "<"); // same start as .a
|
|
tl.to(".c", { opacity: 0 }, "<0.2"); // 0.2s after .b starts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Prefer the position parameter over `delay:` — it composes naturally and survives refactors that re-order tweens.
|
|
|
|
## Labels
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
tl.addLabel("intro", 0);
|
|
tl.to(".a", { x: 100 }, "intro");
|
|
|
|
tl.addLabel("outro", "+=0.5");
|
|
tl.to(".a", { opacity: 0 }, "outro");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Labels make a long timeline readable and let multiple tweens converge on the same beat without re-typing absolute times.
|
|
|
|
## Nesting Timelines
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const master = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
|
|
|
|
const child = gsap.timeline();
|
|
child.to(".a", { x: 100 }).to(".b", { y: 50 });
|
|
|
|
master.add(child, 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In HyperFrames, **do not** nest sub-composition timelines into the host. Sub-compositions loaded via `data-composition-src` are seeked independently by HyperFrames from their own `data-start`. Nesting is only for grouping pieces of the _same_ composition's timeline.
|
|
|
|
## Inside Sub-Compositions: prefer `fromTo` over `from`
|
|
|
|
For entrance tweens inside a sub-composition, prefer `gsap.fromTo()` over `gsap.from()`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Sub-composition entrance — survives re-seek cleanly
|
|
tl.fromTo(".title", { y: 60, opacity: 0 }, { y: 0, opacity: 1, duration: 0.6 }, 0.2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Why: HyperFrames re-seeks the sub-composition every time its host clip becomes visible. `gsap.from()` snapshots the starting state at **registration time** (page load); when the playhead jumps back past `data-start`, that snapshot can desync from the actual CSS state and the element renders in the wrong position. `gsap.fromTo()` declares both endpoints explicitly, so the seek-back always produces the same start state.
|
|
|
|
In top-level (standalone) compositions either form works — there's no re-seek-through-mount cycle.
|
|
|
|
## Playback Control (debug / preview only)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
tl.play();
|
|
tl.pause();
|
|
tl.reverse();
|
|
tl.restart();
|
|
tl.time(2);
|
|
tl.progress(0.5);
|
|
tl.kill();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These are useful when previewing in the browser. In rendered output HyperFrames calls `seek()` internally — your timeline must produce identical state for the same time value every time it is seeked.
