# Makepad 2.0 Shader Skill > **Version:** makepad-widgets (dev branch) | **Last Updated:** 2026-03-03 ## Overview Makepad uses a custom GPU shader system integrated into the widget property tree. Shaders are defined inline using `pixel: fn() { ... }` and `vertex: fn() { ... }` blocks within `draw_bg`, `draw_text`, or custom draw objects. ## Documentation Refer to the local files for detailed documentation: - `./references/shader-reference.md` - Shader syntax, variables, built-ins, custom functions - `./references/sdf2d-reference.md` - SDF2D primitives, combinators, drawing operations --- ## Shader Basics ### Pixel Shader Structure ``` draw_bg +: { // Declare variables instance hover: 0.0 // Animatable per-instance uniform accent: #4488ff // Shared across all instances pixel: fn() { let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size) // ... SDF operations ... return sdf.result } } ``` ### Variable Types | Type | Declaration | Animatable | Scope | |------|-------------|-----------|-------| | `instance` | `instance hover: 0.0` | Yes (via Animator) | Per-widget instance | | `uniform` | `uniform color: #fff` | No | Shared across instances | | `texture_2d` | `texture_2d tex: none` | No |

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ZhangHanDong/makepad-skills --skill makepad-2.0-shaders --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 ZhangHanDong/makepad-skills, a repository with 745 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.
