When to use
A panel that slides into view inside an existing container — e.g. detail panel inside a card, expanding section. Combines a short translate, opacity, and a 2px cross-blur so a half-height travel still reads as a full open.
HTML usage
The panel slides on the Y axis, fades opacity 0 ↔ 1,
and cross-blurs --panel-blur ↔ 0, all on the same
duration / ease so a shorter travel (e.g. 50% of the
panel height) still reads as a full open / close.
Wrap it in your own container with overflow: hidden
if you want the closed state fully clipped. Set
--panel-translate-y to the travel distance (e.g. half
the panel's own height).
Tunable variables
The :root defaults below match the live tuning on transitions.dev. Drop them into your global stylesheet once — every transition in this skill reads from semantic names like these, so multiple transitions can share a single :root block.
CSS
The @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) guard at the bottom of the snippet is required — keep it. It zeroes the transition for users who have asked for less motion at the OS level.
JavaScript orchestration
None — pure CSS. Toggle the documented HTML attributes or class names from whatever already drives state in your app.
