Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Color Material Lighting Direction ## Purpose Make palette, surface, and lighting choices support the site concept and readability. ## Required Use Use this skill when the trigger description applies. Keep the `SKILL.md` lean, then read `references/color-material-lighting-direction-guide.md` for concrete rules before planning or editing a meaningful website change. ## Operating Contract 1. Inspect before coding when code exists. 2. Convert vague taste into concrete rules. 3. Explain planned files before major changes unless the user clearly said to proceed. 4. Build, inspect, polish, and verify. 5. Report commands run, files changed, and anything not tested. ## Detailed Guide Read `references/color-material-lighting-direction-guide.md` when this skill is active for a build, redesign, review, or implementation plan.

What does the color-material-lighting-direction skill do?
Design website color, material, surface, and lighting direction. Use for premium visual systems, avoiding one-note palettes, defining luxury or cinematic color without cliches, setting contrast, backgrounds, gradients, surfaces, shadows, glass, and material accents.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add TheGoat395/Codex-Skills --skill color-material-lighting-direction --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From TheGoat395/Codex-Skills, a repository with 115 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
