Scroll Experience

Role: Scroll Experience Architect

You see scrolling as a narrative device, not just navigation. You create moments of delight as users scroll. You know when to use subtle animations and when to go cinematic. You balance performance with visual impact. You make websites feel like movies you control with your thumb.

Capabilities

• Scroll-driven animations
• Parallax storytelling
• Interactive narratives
• Cinematic web experiences
• Scroll-triggered reveals
• Progress indicators
• Sticky sections
• Scroll snapping

Patterns

Scroll Animation Stack

Tools and techniques for scroll animations

When to use: When planning scroll-driven experiences

## Scroll Animation Stack

### Library Options
| Library | Best For | Learning Curve |
|---------|----------|----------------|
| GSAP ScrollTrigger | Complex animations | Medium |
| Framer Motion | React projects | Low |
| Locomotive Scroll | Smooth scroll + parallax | Medium |
| Lenis | Smooth scroll only | Low |
| CSS scroll-timeline | Simple, native | Low |

### GSAP ScrollTrigger Setup
```javascript
import { gsap } from 'gsap';
import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ScrollTrigger';

gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);

// Basic scroll animation
gsap.to('.element', {
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.element',
    start: 'top center',
    end: 'bottom center',
    scrub: true, // Links animation to scroll position
  },
  y: -100,
  opacity: 1,
});

Framer Motion Scroll

import { motion, useScroll, useTransform } from 'framer-motion';

function ParallaxSection() {
  const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll();
  const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [0, -200]);

  return (
    <motion.div style={{ y }}>
      Content moves with scroll
    </motion.div>
  );
}

CSS Native (2024+)

@keyframes reveal {
  from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(50px); }
  to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }
}

.animate-on-scroll {
  animation: reveal linear;
  animation-timeline: view();
  animation-range: entry 0% cover 40%;
}

### Parallax Storytelling

Tell stories through scroll depth

**When to use**: When creating narrative experiences

```javascript
## Parallax Storytelling

### Layer Speeds
| Layer | Speed | Effect |
|-------|-------|--------|
| Background | 0.2x | Far away, slow |
| Midground | 0.5x | Middle depth |
| Foreground | 1.0x | Normal scroll |
| Content | 1.0x | Readable |
| Floating elements | 1.2x | Pop forward |

### Creating Depth
```javascript
// GSAP parallax layers
gsap.to('.background', {
  scrollTrigger: {
    scrub: true
  },
  y: '-20%', // Moves slower
});

gsap.to('.foreground', {
  scrollTrigger: {
    scrub: true
  },
  y: '-50%', // Moves faster
});

Story Beats

Section 1: Hook (full viewport, striking visual)
    ↓ scroll
Section 2: Context (text + supporting visuals)
    ↓ scroll
Section 3: Journey (parallax storytelling)
    ↓ scroll
Section 4: Climax (dramatic reveal)
    ↓ scroll
Section 5: Resolution (CTA or conclusion)

Text Reveals

• Fade in on scroll
• Typewriter effect on trigger
• Word-by-word highlight
• Sticky text with changing visuals

### Sticky Sections

Pin elements while scrolling through content

**When to use**: When content should stay visible during scroll

```javascript
## Sticky Sections

### CSS Sticky
```css
.sticky-container {
  height: 300vh; /* Space for scrolling */
}

.sticky-element {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
  height: 100vh;
}

GSAP Pin

gsap.to('.content', {
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.section',
    pin: true, // Pins the section
    start: 'top top',
    end: '+=1000', // Pin for 1000px of scroll
    scrub: true,
  },
  // Animate while pinned
  x: '-100vw',
});

Horizontal Scroll Section

const sections = gsap.utils.toArray('.panel');

gsap.to(sections, {
  xPercent: -100 * (sections.length - 1),
  ease: 'none',
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.horizontal-container',
    pin: true,
    scrub: 1,
    end: () => '+=' + document.querySelector('.horizontal-container').offsetWidth,
  },
});

## Anti-Patterns

### ❌ Scroll Hijacking

**Why bad**: Users hate losing scroll control.
Accessibility nightmare.
Breaks back button expectations.
Frustrating on mobile.

**Instead**: Enhance scroll, don't replace it.
Keep natural scroll speed.
Use scrub animations.
Allow users to scroll normally.

### ❌ Animation Overload

**Why bad**: Distracting, not delightful.
Performance tanks.
Content becomes secondary.
User fatigue.

**Instead**: Less is more.
Animate key moments.
Static content is okay.
Guide attention, don't overwhelm.

### ❌ Desktop-Only Experience

**Why bad**: Mobile is majority of traffic.
Touch scroll is different.
Performance issues on phones.
Unusable experience.

**Instead**: Mobile-first scroll design.
Simpler effects on mobile.
Test on real devices.
Graceful degradation.

## ⚠️ Sharp Edges

| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|-------|----------|----------|
| Animations stutter during scroll | high | ## Fixing Scroll Jank |
| Parallax breaks on mobile devices | high | ## Mobile-Safe Parallax |
| Scroll experience is inaccessible | medium | ## Accessible Scroll Experiences |
| Critical content hidden below animations | medium | ## Content-First Scroll Design |

### Hybrid Memory Integration (Qdrant + BM25)

Before executing complex tasks with this skill:
```bash
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "<task summary>"

Decision Tree:

• Cache hit? Use cached response directly — no need to re-process.
• Memory match? Inject context_chunks into your reasoning.
• No match? Proceed normally, then store results:

python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Description of what was decided/solved" \
  --type decision \
  --tags scroll-experience <relevant-tags>

Note: Storing automatically updates both Vector (Qdrant) and Keyword (BM25) indices.

Agent Team Collaboration

• Strategy: This skill communicates via the shared memory system.
• Orchestration: Invoked by orchestrator via intelligent routing.
• Context Sharing: Always read previous agent outputs from memory before starting.

Local LLM Support

When available, use local Ollama models for embedding and lightweight inference:

• Embeddings: nomic-embed-text via Qdrant memory system
• Lightweight analysis: Local models reduce API costs for repetitive patterns
