5 use cases

  • Add an animated WebGPU background to a web page

    Drop a gradient with a cursor trail into a React, Vue, Svelte, or Solid page using the Shader component.

    View prompt
    In the shader-effects-inc/shaders repo, install the shaders package in <project-path> and add a Shader element with a LinearGradient and a CursorTrail as the page background for the framework used in <project-path>. Expected output: the edited component file and a short list of changed files. Verify that the import path matches the project's framework.

  • Design a shader visually and export it as code

    Stack effects on the Shaders.com canvas, tune props live, and paste the exported component tree.

    View prompt
    Using the shader-effects-inc/shaders design editor at shaders.com, help me design an effect for <project-path> and export it for <framework>. Expected output: the exported component tree pasted into the matching component file. Verify that the framework import matches the project.

  • Keep designed Shaders in sync with your codebase

    Use the Shaders CLI to link a project, install designs as files, and pull later edits.

    View prompt
    In the shader-effects-inc/shaders repo, use the Shaders CLI to connect <project-path> to a Shaders project, install <shader-name>, and update it. Expected output: the new component files and an updated lock file. Verify that the lock file lists the installed shader.

  • Let a coding agent find, install, and edit Shaders

    Install the Shaders skill and MCP server so your agent can add and change effects in your project.

    View 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.

  • Write a custom WebGPU component with defineShader

    Define a new effect with props and a WGSL pixel function, then mount it like any other component.

    View prompt
    In the shader-effects-inc/shaders repo, write a custom defineShader component named <component-name> in <project-path> that draws <effect-description>. Expected output: one new component file and a page that mounts it. Verify that the wgsl paint block returns a vec4f and that the props match the defaults.

How to use Shaders

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js and npm to install the shaders package; A project using React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, or plain JavaScript; A browser with WebGPU support for the effects to render.
  2. Open shader-effects-inc/shaders on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npm install shaders in your project.
  4. Import Shader, LinearGradient, and CursorTrail from 'shaders/react' (or the matching framework path such as 'shaders/vue').
  5. Nest LinearGradient and CursorTrail as children of Shader, then set props such as colorA and colorB on the gradient.
  6. Start your project's dev server and open the page in a WebGPU-capable browser to confirm the effect renders. (inferred, check the README)

These steps come from our top use case, Add an animated WebGPU background to a web page, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
