What it does

Vfx Text Cursor is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Cursor light trail, chromatic rays, and directional flares for word-by-word quote reveals in video intros.

Example prompts

  • “/vfx-text-cursor”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9dd6fe. 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.

    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

Vfx Text Cursor loads about 697 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~697

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.

【模板: VFX 文字光标 (Text Cursor)】 【意图】视频开场/Hero 帧 —— 光标在画布上"打字", 文字逐字浮现, 后面拖着彩色像散尾迹 + 定向光斑。Inspired by hyperframes vfx-text-cursor。

【画布】1920×1080, 背景 #06070a 暗哑黑 或 #0a0d12 (有暖偏蓝); 加微妙 vignette。

【内容】

  • 一句金句 (中英不限), 居中, 字号 6-8vw, weight 700, 字体 Inter Tight / Source Sans 3 / Noto Sans SC。
  • 逐字揭示, 每个字符 80ms 间隔; 当前字符后面跟着一个 cursor ▍ (或细 vertical bar)。
  • 已揭示文字默认白色 #f5f5f7, opacity 1; 即将揭示位置加 chromatic ghost: 一份 text-shadow: 2px 0 #ff3b6f, -2px 0 #00d4ff 在 reveal 瞬间, 200ms 内收敛回正常。
  • 光标本身: 16px 宽矩形, 颜色 = accent (取 1: hot pink #ff3b6f / cyan #00d4ff / amber #ffb547), 闪烁 @keyframes 1.0s 周期; 后面拖一条 60-120px 的 motion blur trail (径向渐变到透明)。

【光斑 / 射线】

  • 在打字位置附近随机生成 3-5 道定向光斑 (light leak): 用 linear-gradient(45deg, transparent, accent20, transparent) 的细长矩形 + mix-blend-mode: screen, 不规则角度。
  • 当文字打完, 整段文字加 0.5s shimmer sweep (光带横扫)。

【字段】

  • 顶部 caption (uppercase letterspace 0.18em, 11px, opacity 0.5): "FRAME 01 · OPENING"。
  • 文字底下副标 (24-28px, opacity 0.6): 来源 / 章节。
  • 右下角 timecode (00:03:21 mono)。

【设计细节】

  • 绝不: 多色彩虹 chromatic (只用 1 个 hot pink + cyan 这种二元像散, 不要 R/G/B 全色)。
  • 字体: 西文 Inter Tight Bold; 中文 Noto Sans SC Bold; 严禁衬线。
  • 动效用 @keyframes + JS 计时器 (setTimeout 逐字), 可被 prefers-reduced-motion 关闭 (直接显示所有字)。
  • 必须用用户提供的金句; 不要捏造。
  • 单文件 HTML, 不要外链字体以外的资源。
