Why this level
- The skills give instructions, and the executable code is created by the agent in the user's project.
Install
- Works in
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI
npx skillfoxx add plugins/webgl-animation-skillsDetects the agents on your machine, shows the access level and pins the version.

What it does
A set of three skills for agents that write 3D animation in the browser. `shader-glsl` teaches fragment shaders: gradients, noise and fbm, signed distance functions, domain warping, image transitions and wiring `ShaderMaterial` into Three.js. `threejs-animation` covers scenes, camera moves, GLTF clips, instancing, scroll-linked 3D, React Three Fiber and leak-free GPU resource disposal. `particle-system` handles confetti, snow, smoke, sparks, flow fields, curl noise and connected-dot networks on `Points` shaders. Each skill has a reference with recipes. Activation follows the task description, and the repository includes scripts for contact sheets and video probing.
Who it is for. Frontend and creative developers building 3D backgrounds, shader effects and interactive WebGL scenes.
Good fit when
- An animated gradient background on a fragment shader needs to be wired into Three.js.
- A GLTF model in React Three Fiber should crossfade between idle and walk clips.
- A scene slows down over time and a WebGL memory leak is suspected.
- A background of two thousand particles must hold a high frame rate.
Not a fit when
- You need 2D animation or Lottie, since the skills target WebGL.
- The task needs exact text and numbers in motion graphics with one-click edits.
- The project runs on a game engine rather than in the browser.
Example request
Write a fragment shader for an animated aurora gradient background and wire it into Three.js through ShaderMaterial.Limitations
The skills give instructions and recipes, while frames and performance still have to be checked on your own GPU and browser. For tasks outside WebGL, such as exact 2D graphics with editing, the authors point to their own iart.ai service, which is a separate product. The repository ships no scene framework or library: you need your own Three.js or React Three Fiber project. The helper scripts work with video files through `ffmpeg`.
How to disable. Remove the plugin with `/plugin uninstall webgl-animation-skills` or delete the `shader-glsl`, `threejs-animation` and `particle-system` skill folders from the agent skills directory.
FAQ
Which skills are included?
Three: `shader-glsl` for shaders, `threejs-animation` for scenes and cameras, `particle-system` for particles. Each has a reference with recipes.
Which agents does it work in?
The authors name Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and more than forty other agents that read the skill format.
How do I install without the plugin?
Run `npx skills add iart-ai/webgl-animation-skills` and the installer picks the right skill folders for your agent.
Does it fit React Three Fiber?
Yes, `threejs-animation` covers React Three Fiber, GLTF clips and correct resource disposal.
Are there other packs?
It is one of 19 open packs from the same author, for example for TikTok video and explainers. Install the one you need separately.
