A step-by-step guide to building an animated tab component using shadcn/ui, Framer Motion, and Tailwind CSS. Covers a spring-animated active pill indicator using Framer Motion's layoutId, a stacked card effect where inactive panels render behind the active one with reduced scale and opacity, a fan-out hover effect, and a bounce entrance animation on tab change. The tutorial walks through component architecture, TypeScript types, state management, and customization via className overrides. The component can also be installed directly via the Shadcn Space CLI registry.
