## What it is
A Tailwind CSS plugin that adds animation utility classes for enter/exit animations, fades, zooms, slides, and animation timing controls. It extends Tailwind's config with classes like animate-in, fade-in, and duration/delay utilities.

## Use cases
- add fade and zoom entrance animations to elements with tailwind classes
- create slide-out exit animations for modals and dropdowns
- control css animation duration and delay via utility classes
- respect prefers-reduced-motion in tailwind projects
- animate components entering and leaving the dom

## When to choose
- you use Tailwind CSS and want declarative animation utilities
- you need enter/exit animations for UI components like dialogs and popovers
- you want consistent animation timing utilities across a tailwind codebase

## When to avoid
- you don't use Tailwind CSS
- you need complex keyframe choreography or physics-based animations better served by libraries like Framer Motion
- you need JavaScript-driven or scroll-linked animations
