Motion alerts
Five alerts that keep one calm surface and vary only how they arrive: a slide from the left, a spring pop, a soft fade, a short shake and a clip-path reveal. The animation runs on mount only, with no loop and no randomness. Each is sized, driven by a tone prop (info, success, warning, danger) and fully token-based.
AlertMotion
Installation
The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.
Run the following command
npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/alert-motionDependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

/* Motion alert family: 5 decorative alert surfaces. The surface is THE SAME in
every variant (a calm card + a thin tone-tinted border); the whole difference
is in the ENTRANCE animation - how the alert arrives on the page: sliding in
from the side, springing, settling, shaking, or unfolding from the left. The
animation runs only on MOUNT, never loops; every keyframe is written out
literally, so there is no source of time or randomness and every render
produces the same result (deterministic). Under reduced-motion there is NO
transform or clip, everything falls back to a plain fade. Color comes ONLY
from semantic tokens, via alpha color-mix or the tailwind opacity modifier.
Anatomy (Berkay's decision): the icon marks ONLY the title line - the icon and
the title share line 1, and the description starts BELOW the icon and takes
the full width. */

ai2 Motion alerts: 5 styled variations on the token system
The ai2 Motion alerts are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around alerts that share one surface and differ only in their entrance animation. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.
Motion runs on framer-motion: framer-motion animates the entrance on mount; there is no loop and no randomness. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, every transform and wipe is skipped and each alert simply fades in.
What is in the ai2 Motion alerts?
5 exports in one file: Slide, Pop, Fade, Shake and Reveal. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.
You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.
Why use it
- On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
- Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
- Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.
Features
- Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
- framer-motion: framer-motion animates the entrance on mount; there is no loop and no randomness.
- Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, every transform and wipe is skipped and each alert simply fades in.
- Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.
Production tips
- Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
- Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
- Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.
Works with the rest of ai2
The Motion alerts sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
