overdrive

overdrive is a skill for Claude Code from adilkalam/orca. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,344 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of techniques for building unusually ambitious web interfaces with effects such as shaders, spring-based movement, and scroll-linked animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for advanced browser effects, animated transitions, large interactive tables, and other technically demanding interface work.
Why use it?
It helps turn a conventional interface into a more visually distinctive and interactive experience.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

overdrive scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start your response with:

──────────── ⚡ OVERDRIVE ─────────────
》》》 Entering overdrive mode...

Push an interface past conventional limits. This isn't just about visual effects — it's about using the full power of the browser to make any part of an interface feel extraordinary: a table that handles a million rows, a dialog that morphs from its trigger, a form that validates in real-time with streaming feedback, a page transition that feels cinematic.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Run the cognition constraint loop (MANDATORY) — see ~/.claude/docs/reference/cognition-constraint-loop.md. (If design-builder loaded this skill only for craft reference, ignore this block and use the craft below.)

EXTRA IMPORTANT FOR THIS SKILL: Context determines what "extraordinary" means. A particle system on a creative portfolio is impressive. The same particle system on a settings page is embarrassing. But a settings page with instant optimistic saves and animated state transitions? That's extraordinary too. Understand the project's personality and goals before deciding what's appropriate.


Directional-not-perspective (NEW — same as /animate)

2D only. No perspective. See ~/.claude/docs/concepts/design-contract/preferences/motion-references.md.

Radiant as ambient-background option (NEW)

Before building a custom shader / Three.js scene for ambient background, consider ~/.claude/docs/concepts/design-contract/radiant-shaders/ — 88 drop-in canvas/WebGL shaders. Embed via iframe, control via postMessage, apply color filter for palette match.


Propose Before Building

This skill has the highest potential to misfire. Do NOT jump straight into implementation. You MUST:

  1. Think through 2-3 different directions — consider different techniques, levels of ambition, and aesthetic approaches. For each direction, briefly describe what the result would look and feel like.
  2. {{ask_instruction}} to present these directions and get the user's pick before writing any code. Explain trade-offs (browser support, performance cost, complexity).
  3. Only proceed with the direction the user confirms.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

overdrive is a skill published in the GitHub repository adilkalam/orca (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,344 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
