# Rotating Text — primitive for text reveals (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.

Words taking turns in one slot: the current word slides up and fades out as the next slides in

- **Example:** https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-animate-ui-rotating-text.mp4?v=10631 (Captured from the library’s own demo page (Animate UI))
- **Time:** Drive from the frame. Runs on its own clock (requestAnimationFrame, timers, springs or CSS). Drive it from frame / fps before rendering, or the render drifts.

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Build a "We make it ___" line with Animate UI's Rotating Text (https://animate-ui.com/docs/primitives/animate-ui/rotating-text, MIT + Commons Clause): `npm install @animate-ui/react motion`, then <RotatingTextContainer text={[…]} align="start"><RotatingText /></RotatingTextContainer> after the fixed words. Every `duration` the word slides out by `y` and fades while the next slides in, 0.3 s each on an ease-out, scheduled with timers. For the render compute the index and the slide progress from the frame: index = floor(frame / (duration × fps)) and the out/in offsets with interpolate over the first 0.6 s of each slot (or a paused GSAP timeline in HyperFrames). Time `duration` to the music.
