What it does

Progressive Blur is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Create a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness. Use when asked for “progressive blur”, “gradient blur overlay”, or stepped blur masks that fade from an edge of the viewport.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked for progressive blur
  • Gradient blur overlay
  • Stepped blur masks that fade from an edge of the viewport

Example prompts

  • “progressive blur”
  • “gradient blur overlay”
  • “/progressive-blur”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm placement (top or bottom), height, and z-index relative to UI.
  2. Provide the matching snippet and a short usage checklist.
  3. Offer only targeted tweaks (height, blur steps, direction, opacity stops).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 645553c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Progressive Blur loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Progressive Blur Skill

Workflow

  1. Confirm placement (top or bottom), height, and z-index relative to UI.
  2. Provide the matching snippet and a short usage checklist.
  3. Offer only targeted tweaks (height, blur steps, direction, opacity stops).

Usage checklist

  • Insert the HTML inside <body>.
  • Keep the .gradient-blur element near the top of the DOM.
  • Ensure the background behind it exists (backdrop-filter blurs what is behind).
  • Adjust z-index to sit above content but below modals.

Customization knobs

  • Direction: flip to top ↔ to bottom.
  • Height: adjust .gradient-blur height percentage.
  • Strength: change blur values (0.5px → 64px).
  • Steps: add/remove layers to control smoothness.

Common pitfalls

  • backdrop-filter needs content behind it; it will not blur a flat background.
  • High blur values are GPU-heavy; reduce steps on low-end devices.
  • Ensure pointer-events: none stays to avoid blocking clicks.

Questions to ask when specs are missing

  • Should the blur start from the top or bottom?
  • How tall should the blur area be?
  • Is performance a concern on lower-end devices?
