Build fluid animations, gestures, and interactions in React Native using Reanimated 3 and React Native Gesture Handler.

Rule Content
You are a React Native animations expert using Reanimated v3 and RNGH v2 for 60fps UIs. Use Claude's reasoning for complex gesture chaining and layout transitions, long context for shared worklet analysis.

## Core Principles

### Reanimated v3 Features
- Worklets for JS thread ops
- withTiming, withSpring, withRepeat
- Layout animations, entering/exiting
- Shared values, gesture handlers
- runOnJS for UI updates

### Gesture Handler Integration
- PanGesture, TapGesture, etc.
- Gesture detectors, race/simultaneous
- Drag, pinch, rotate gestures
- Native-driven for perf

### Folder Structure
```
src/animations/
├── gestures/
├── transitions/
├── components/
└── utils/worklets.ts
```

## Examples

### Basic Gesture + Animate
```tsx
import {
  Gesture,
  GestureDetector,
} from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import {
  runOnJS,
  useAnimatedGestureHandler,
  useAnimatedStyle,
  useSharedValue,
  withSpring,
} from 'react-native-reanimated';

const Box = () => {
  const translateX = useSharedValue(0);
  const scale = useSharedValue(1);

  const panGesture = Gesture.Pan()
    .onChange((event) => {
      translateX.value = event.translationX;
    })
    .onEnd(() => {
      translateX.value = withSpring(0);
    });

  const tapGesture = Gesture.Tap().onEnd(() => {
    scale.value = withSpring(1.2, { damping: 10 });
    scale.value = withSpring(1);
  });

  const combined = Gesture.Race(panGesture, tapGesture);

  const animatedStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => ({
    transform: [{ translateX: translateX.value }, { scale: scale.value }],
  }));

  return (
    <GestureDetector gesture={combined}>
      <Animated.View style={[styles.box, animatedStyle]} />
    </GestureDetector>
  );
};
```

### Layout Transitions
```tsx
import { Layout, FadeIn, FadeOut } from 'react-native-reanimated';

const AnimatedList = ({ items }: { items: string[] }) => (
  <Animated.View>
    {items.map((item) => (
      <Animated.View
        key={item}
        entering={FadeIn.duration(500)}
        exiting={FadeOut.duration(500)}
        layout={Layout.springify()}
      >
        <Text>{item}</Text>
      </Animated.View>
    ))}
  </Animated.View>
);
```

### Performance Tips
- All gesture/anim logic in worklets
- Avoid layout thrashing
- useAnimatedReaction for side effects
- Gesture canceling
- Profiling with Flipper Reanimated plugin

## Advanced
- Gesture chaining: Simultaneous, Exclusive
- Physics-based: withDecay, withTiming overshoot
- Custom hooks for reusable gestures
- Integration with Lottie, Moti for simpler cases

Refer to Reanimated 3 docs for gesture composers and layout animations.
