# GSAP — Animation Engine
> GSAP 3.15 (released 13 Apr 2026). Since 3.13 the entire library — including every former Club plugin (SplitText, MorphSVG, DrawSVG, ScrollSmoother, InertiaPlugin, MotionPathHelper, CustomEase…) — ships in the public `gsap` npm package and is free, commercial use included, under the GreenSock Standard "no charge" license. There is no Club paywall.
> GreenSock also publish official agent skills (MIT, 8 skills: core, timeline, scrolltrigger, plugins, utils, react, performance, frameworks): https://github.com/greensock/gsap-skills — worth installing alongside this sub-skill.
