# Counter — primitive for stats & kpis (react)

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

A bold number spins up from zero and slows to a stop on its target

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Counter from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/text/counter, MIT) for a stat beat: one big number in the centre with a caption. It drives a motion spring (damping 60, stiffness 80) toward targetValue once the element is in view, after an optional delay, so it starts on wall time. For a render, compute the number from the frame: in Remotion value = targetValue * spring({ frame: frame - delayFrames, fps, config: { damping: 60, stiffness: 80 } }) (reversed for direction "down"); in HyperFrames tween an object on the paused timeline and write the rounded value in onUpdate. Set targetValue, direction and delay, format with Intl.NumberFormat, and use tabular figures.
