Ask Claude to Write CSS Keyframe Animations
CSS keyframe animations are powerful but always involve looking up cubic-bezier() values and second-guessing transform-origin. Just describe the motion and let Claude write it.
Write a CSS keyframe animation called fadeSlideIn that fades an element
in from opacity 0 while sliding it up 16px. Duration 300ms, ease-out timing.
Also add a prefers-reduced-motion media query that disables the slide but keeps the fade.
Claude knows to add will-change: transform, opacity for GPU acceleration, respects prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility, and uses forwards fill mode so the animation state persists.
For loading skeletons and shimmer effects:
Write a CSS shimmer animation for a skeleton loading screen.
The element is a grey rounded rectangle. Animate a highlight moving
left to right repeatedly. Use a linear gradient approach.
If you're working in React with Tailwind, Claude can convert animations to Framer Motion variants:
Convert this CSS keyframe animation to a Framer Motion variants object.
Add an exit variant that reverses the entrance animation.
[paste your CSS]
For Vue projects it can generate the equivalent using <Transition> component hooks and CSS classes.
Describe the motion, skip the keyframe math — Claude has the timing functions memorised.

Set up Claude Code as an automated reviewer in your CI pipeline — on every pull request, it reads the diff, checks for bugs, security issues, missing tests, and convention violations, then posts its findings as a PR comment. Your human reviewers get a head start because the obvious issues are already flagged before they look.
Before deploying, tell Claude to read your project — migrations, environment variables, queue workers, scheduled tasks, caching, third-party integrations — and generate a deployment checklist that's specific to your app. Not a generic "did you run migrations?" list, but one that knows YOUR infrastructure and catches the things YOUR deploy can break.
Instead of writing a README from memory or copying a template, tell Claude to read your project and generate one that's actually accurate — real setup instructions from your config, real architecture from your directory structure, real API examples from your routes, and real prerequisites from your dependency files.
