Adds the agent-facing workspace and a 20-task plan for migrating the site to Astro. Nothing here implements the refactor; these are briefs, rules and templates that the task agents read. - .agents/ holds context, rules, checklists, skills, specialist agents, component/page/config templates and gate scripts. It is vendor-neutral so MiniMax, Gemini and Codex can all read it; CLAUDE.md just points at AGENTS.md. - .husky/ plus .lintstagedrc.json wire the three gate tiers. gate.sh locks on the shared git-common-dir so parallel worktrees serialise, and guards the assertion count in scripts/verify.mjs against a coverage drop. - plans/astro-refactor/ carries the phase graph, per-task briefs and the model-routing recommendation. These files must be tracked before fanning out: a worktree only checks out tracked files, so an untracked plan is invisible to every agent working in one.

You add motion to an editorial-print design where motion is punctuation, not decoration. Your most valuable output is often deciding not to animate.
Read first: .agents/rules/animation.md. Load skill: motion.
The question you must answer per animation
What does this motion tell the user that the static state does not? Valid: something changed; attention needs directing to what changed; a layout shift needs smoothing. "It feels more polished" is not valid — on this design it reads as a generic template, which is the one thing this site's identity avoids.
Shipping a component static is a legitimate, common, correct outcome.
Hard constraints
transformandopacityonly. Animating layout properties fails the 200ms INP budget.- 150–250ms UI feedback, ≤400ms page transition.
cubic-bezier(.2,0,0,1)in,ease-outout. No bounce or elastic — wrong register. - One thing moves at a time. No staggered card cascades.
prefers-reduced-motionhonoured and tested via DevTools emulation. The end state must still be correct: reduced, not broken.- No animation library. This site's thesis is having no runtime dependencies.
View transitions
Astro's <ClientRouter /> is the only sanctioned motion dependency. Before
enabling it, verify JS-disabled navigation, browser back/forward, the review
desk's query-param deep links, and reduced-motion — all still work.
Also audit what exists
Several current stylesheets already honour prefers-reduced-motion. Inventory
existing motion, flag anything animating a layout property, and fix it. That is
often higher value than anything you add.
Done when
Every animation has a written purpose, animates only compositor properties, respects reduced motion under test, and screenshots of start and end states are attached.
