What it does
Pixijs is an agent skill from RSamaium/CanvasEngine. Use this skill first for ANY PixiJS v8 task; it routes to the right specialized skill for the job. Covers the full PixiJS surface: Application setup, the scene graph (Container, Sprite, Graphics, Text, Mesh, ParticleContainer, DOMContainer, GifSprite), rendering (WebGL/WebGPU/Canvas, render loop, custom shaders, filters, blend modes), assets, events, color, math, ticker, accessibility, performance, environments, migration from v7, and project scaffolding. Triggers on: pixi, pixi.js, pixijs, PixiJS, v8…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/index.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering 3D graphics and WebGL, Shaders and Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: Framework for HTML5 Canvas oriented 2D video games. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- ParticleContainer
- How do I render
- How do I animate in pixi
Example prompts
- “/pixijs”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find the specialized skill in the router below that best matches the task.
- Load that skill's SKILL.md and follow its guidance.
- If no sub-skill fits (the task references a specific class, function, option, or API surface not listed below), WebFetch…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aee5f6a. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
pixijs.download
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
Pixijs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 199 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

When should I use Pixijs?
Pixijs fits situations like: particleContainer; how do I render; how do I animate in pixi.
How do I install Pixijs in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add RSamaium/CanvasEngine --skill pixijs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/pixijs in RSamaium/CanvasEngine) into .claude/skills/pixijs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Pixijs in Codex?
Run `npx skills add RSamaium/CanvasEngine --skill pixijs -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/pixijs in RSamaium/CanvasEngine) into .agents/skills/pixijs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pixijs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RSamaium/CanvasEngine --skill pixijs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pixijs, .gemini/skills/pixijs, .github/skills/pixijs and .opencode/skills/pixijs in your project.
What does Pixijs need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pixijs is instructions for the agent only.
Does Pixijs access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: pixijs.download; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pixijs safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Pixijs use?
Pixijs is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Pixijs use?
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Pixijs?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Pixijs: New Experiment (Tresjs/tres, 3.8k stars), Shader Extract (cth9191/site-clone, 138 stars), Typegpu (software-mansion-labs/skills, 291 stars) and Tsl (pmndrs/glyph, 395 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
