Default: Disabled until configured

Validate the diagnostic

Confirm the reported code matches this rule before you edit it.

Confirm the reported code matches react-doctor/no-reduced-motion-content-removal. Compare it with the Before example and verify the same API, framework, and execution context. Treat it as a false positive only when one of those conditions differs.

Compare the code

The corrected pattern shows a focused way to address the diagnostic.

Reported pattern

import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react";

const Status = () => {
  const shouldReduceMotion = useReducedMotion();
  return shouldReduceMotion ? null : <p>Upload complete</p>;
};

Corrected pattern

import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react";

const Status = () => {
  const shouldReduceMotion = useReducedMotion();
  return (
    <p className={shouldReduceMotion ? undefined : "animate-in"}>
      Upload complete
    </p>
  );
};

How to fix

Use the corrected pattern as a reference. Preserve behavior that the rule does not require you to change.

Copyable fix prompt

Copy this self-contained prompt into your coding agent after you confirm the diagnostic.

Fix every confirmed react-doctor/no-reduced-motion-content-removal diagnostic in the current repository. Required change: - Keep the same content and actions available under reduced motion, replacing spatial movement with a static or non-spatial presentation.

Reference transformation:Before:

import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react";

const Status = () => {
  const shouldReduceMotion = useReducedMotion();
  return shouldReduceMotion ? null : <p>Upload complete</p>;
};

After:

import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react";

const Status = () => {
  const shouldReduceMotion = useReducedMotion();
  return (
    <p className={shouldReduceMotion ? undefined : "animate-in"}>
      Upload complete
    </p>
  );
};

Constraints: - Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern. - Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause. - Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic. - Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions. - Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations. - Preserve accessible names, focus order, keyboard behavior, and touch access not targeted by this rule. - Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly. - Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code. - Confirm this rule is enabled for the project: react. Verification: - Run focused tests for the changed behavior. - Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears. - Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.
