## Summary

view-transitions-toolkit is a new npm package that bundles reusable utility functions for working with the View Transitions API. It includes helpers for feature detection, shimming document.activeViewTransition, extracting and optimizing animations, controlling transition playback (pause/resume/scrub), and automatically injecting transition types based on navigation. The package is available on npm and comes with a demo site at chrome.dev/view-transitions-toolkit/.
