Magnetic buttons

Primary buttons and key links pull gently towards the pointer when it comes close, then spring back; the button label moves slightly more than the button.

What the agent must do

  • Apply the magnetic effect only to primary CTAs and nav links marked with a data-magnetic attribute, never to body links or form inputs.
  • Use gsap.quickTo for x/y with a strength of 0.15–0.3 and a 0.4–0.6 s ease-out; translate only (scale under 1.03), and return to rest on pointerleave.
  • Enable only when (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine) match and prefers-reduced-motion is no-preference; touch and keyboard users get the static button.
  • Keep the visible focus style unchanged and the hit area at the button's resting position.
  • Load GSAP after first paint; reuse it if another look already ships it.
