webgl-neon-grid
A real-time synthwave scene — a perspective floor grid scrolling toward a banded retro sun under a neon starfield, all from one fragment shader. No textures. Rendered as a single self-contained `index.html`. Use when the brief asks for "synthwave", "outrun", "retro 80s", "neon grid", "perspective grid", "vaporwave", or a retro-futuristic hero. Open Design serves this in powered-preview mode so the GPU stack actually runs.

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.
# Neon Grid Skill Produce a single self-contained `index.html` that renders a real-time synthwave scene full-screen — a perspective floor grid, a banded retro sun, and a starfield — with a clean typographic overlay on top. ## Why this is a powered artifact Open Design detects `getContext('webgl2')` and renders this file in **powered preview** — a cross-origin-isolated iframe with `allow-same-origin`. The full GPU pipeline is available; you do not need to work around the opaque sandbox. ## Resource map ``` webgl-neon-grid/ ├── SKILL.md ← you're reading this └── example.html ← a working synthwave grid + sun shader (READ FIRST) ``` ## Workflow ### Step 0 — Read the reference Read `example.html` end to end. Note the shape: a horizon split; **above** the horizon a sky gradient, a circular sun cut by horizontal scanline bands, and hashed stars; **below** the horizon a perspective floor grid (`z = k / depth`, `x = uv.x * z`) that scrolls with time, its lines thinning and fading with distance. Everything is analytic — no raymarch needed. ### Step 1 — Choose the palette Synthwave lives on its gradient: - **Outrun** (default): magenta→indigo sky, orange→pink banded sun, cyan/magenta grid. -

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill webgl-neon-grid --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 nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 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.
