 "title": "Let a coding agent find, install, and edit Shaders",
 "page_title": "How to let a coding agent find, install, and edit Shaders with Shaders",
 "summary": "Install the Shaders skill and MCP server so your agent can add and change effects in your project.",
 "who": "A developer using an AI coding agent who wants the agent to add visual effects to a site without manual lookup.",
 "problem": "Agents without library context guess at component names and props, which produces broken effect code.",
 "outcome": "An agent that knows the component library and can install and edit Shaders you designed.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx shaders skill` to install the agent skill that teaches your agent the component library and CLI workflow.",
  "Run `npx shaders@latest install-mcp` to configure the MCP server for your coding agent.",
  "Ask your agent to find and install a shader for the page you are building.",
  "Ask the agent to edit one prop, then check the component file it changed."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the shader-effects-inc/shaders skill and MCP server, find a shader that matches <effect-description> and install it into <project-path>. Expected output: a new component file and a summary of the props set. Verify that the component is imported from the correct framework path.",

 "caveat": "The README names several agents, but only the MCP setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex is listed in the agents field here, so check your own agent's support before relying on it.",
