Starts from the current visual reference and project constraints.

Build a animations component named StaggerChildren in React/Next.js.
Goal: recreate the same overall UI and behavior as the StaggerChildren reference from a component gallery.
What it needs to communicate: Sequentially animate children with a stagger delay between each..

Project constraints:
- Use Next.js 16.2.6 with the App Router, React 19, TypeScript strict mode, and Tailwind CSS v4.
- Do not create a tailwind.config.js file. Use Tailwind v4 utilities and CSS variables where design tokens are needed.
- If you are implementing this inside the same project, use the Prompt font via next/font/google. If not, use the closest equivalent typeface.
- Return production-ready code with imports, responsive behavior, keyboard accessibility, and polished empty, hover, focus, active, and disabled states where relevant.
- Match the reference closely: color palette, spacing scale, border radius, shadows, icon scale, typography hierarchy, and motion timing.

Component-specific expectations:
- Recreate the same visual motion while keeping the implementation performant.
- Respect prefers-reduced-motion and make timing/easing intentional.
- Avoid unnecessary dependencies unless the behavior truly requires them.
- No explicit color literals were found in the examples. Match the live reference and the project accent color when appropriate.

Props to support:
- children: React.ReactNode — required — Child elements to stagger
- staggerDelay: number — default 0.1 — Delay between each child (seconds)
- delay: number — default 0 — Initial delay before stagger starts
- duration: number — default 0.5 — Animation duration per child
- whenInView: boolean — default false — Trigger when container enters viewport
- once: boolean — default true — Only animate once
- yOffset: number — default 20 — Y-axis offset for each child
- className: string — Wrapper element classes

Reference usage patterns:
- No examples were documented. Infer a sensible default presentation and one richer usage example.

Feature expectations:
- Sequential stagger
- Viewport-triggered
- Works with any children
- Configurable timing

Output requirements:
- Return complete code, not pseudocode.
- Include all necessary imports and helper types.
- Keep the implementation accessible, responsive, and visually finished.
- Match the reference for color, size, shape, typography, spacing, and interaction states as closely as possible.
- If multiple files are needed, organize them cleanly and explain the file structure briefly.

Tweak only product-specific copy or data after the first generation pass.
