  • Works in 2 steps: Minimal waves background → React cleanup pattern (concept)

What it does

Vantajs is an agent skill from nirholas/three.ws. Use when adding animated WebGL background effects with Vanta.js (setup, parameters, resizing, performance, integration in React/Next.js).

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `REFERENCES.md` and `demo/PROMPT.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering 3D graphics and WebGL. It works with React and Next.js. The repository describes itself as: Open-source platform for 3D AI agents. Turn text or a photo into a rigged, animated GLB avatar, give it an LLM brain, memory and a wallet, and embed it anywhere with one web… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding animated WebGL background effects with Vanta.js (setup
  • Integration in React/Next.js)

Example prompts

  • “/vantajs”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Minimal waves background
  2. React cleanup pattern (concept)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238ef60. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cdnjs.cloudflare.com
    • cdn.jsdelivr.net

    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

Vantajs loads about 506 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~506

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.

Vanta.js — Animated WebGL Backgrounds Skill

When to use

  • Decorative animated backgrounds behind hero sections
  • You want “wow” quickly without building a full three.js scene
  • Lightweight integration into static sites or React/Vue

How it works

  • Vanta injects a canvas into a container element and renders an effect (many use three.js).
  • Typical usage: include three.min.js (or provide THREE) + one Vanta effect bundle.

Key APIs/patterns

  • Init:
    • const effect = VANTA.WAVES({ el: "#hero", ...options })
  • Update after init:
    • effect.setOptions({ color: 0xff88cc })
  • Resize:
    • effect.resize() (if container size changes)
  • Cleanup:
    • effect.destroy() (important in SPAs)

Common pitfalls

  • Container has no size → nothing visible
    • Ensure the target element has explicit width/height (or is laid out).
  • Multiple WebGL canvases on one page → GPU load
    • Keep to 1–2 effects/page.
  • Mobile/older GPU issues
    • Provide a fallback background color/image; consider disabling on small screens.
  • Bundling in frameworks
    • Some builds require window.THREE or passing THREE in options.

Quick recipes

1) Minimal waves background
html
<div id="hero" style="height: 70vh;"></div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/three.js/r134/three.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vanta/dist/vanta.waves.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const effect = VANTA.WAVES({ el: "#hero", color: 0x0b1220, shininess: 40, waveHeight: 16, zoom: 0.9 });
</script>
2) React cleanup pattern (concept)
  • Create effect in useEffect, store in ref, call destroy() on unmount.

What to ask the user

  • Which effect (waves, birds, fog, net, etc.) and brand colors?
  • Must it run on mobile? If yes, what’s acceptable FPS/quality?
  • Is it behind text (needs contrast/readability)?
