ambience-skill

ambience-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from code-yeongyu/lazycodex. It costs 132 tokens per session (4,244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for atmospheric and text-based motion on web pages, such as animated backgrounds, headline reveals, scroll storytelling, and pointer effects on cards. It is separate from interaction guidance for controls such as buttons and menus.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for hero sections, animated or shader backgrounds, typographic reveals, scroll-triggered sections, and spotlight, tilt, glare, or glow effects on surfaces.
Why use it?
It helps structure decorative motion and animated storytelling instead of treating every effect as a control interaction. It also keeps visual styling separate from the motion mechanisms.

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

ambience-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ambience and Typographic Motion — react-bits-Anchored

interaction-skill.md owns how controls respond: buttons, tabs, menus, modals, toasts. This file owns the other motion quadrant — the hero's atmosphere, the animated background, the way headline copy arrives, the scroll-driven chapter, the material feel of a card under the pointer. design/README.md names the hero focal object and the atmosphere as the two things that most often ship flat; this is where their mechanisms come from. It stacks on top of any Layer A style skill and any Layer B brand exactly like interaction-skill.md and layout-skill.md, and adds ZERO visual direction: color, type, and material still come from the style skill and DESIGN.md.

Load this whenever the deliverable includes: an animated, shader, particle, or grid background; a hero that must feel atmospheric or dimensional; text that reveals, splits, blurs, shimmers, types, counts, scrambles, or loops; scroll-triggered entrances or pinned chapters; spotlight / tilt / glare / glow card surfaces; or the user says "make the hero stunning", "add a living background", "animate the headline", "make it feel premium and alive".

1. The reference contract — never design ambience from memory

react-bits is the ambience benchmark: 170+ open-source React components across four catalog groups (Text Animations, Animations, Backgrounds, Components), each shipped in four variants (JS or TS, CSS or Tailwind) with a public shadcn-compatible registry. Its quality is uneven — most components ship demo colors, and only a minority carry a reduced-motion path — so it is a source of mechanisms, not a source of finished primitives. Improvising a background or a text reveal produces slop the same way improvised styling does; reaching for a 3D engine because the brief said "stunning" is the expensive version of the same mistake. Consult first, extract, then retrofit.

The contract, in order:

  1. Find the nearest pattern in the routing map (section 3). The live catalog is https://reactbits.dev/llms.txt; refresh from it when a pattern seems missing — the catalog grows monthly.
  2. Read its real source through the recipe (section 2). Read the TS-TW variant; all four variants share one behavior.
  3. Extract the mechanism, not the pixels: the render loop and what drives it (pointer, scroll, time), the shader uniforms or split strategy, what starts and stops the loop, how it sizes to its container, and what it depends on.
  4. Run the retrofit checklist (section 4). Assume the reduced-motion path, the off-screen pause, and the accessibility contract are missing until you have read them in the source.
  5. Adapt to the project. Colors, durations, easings, and intensities come from the project DESIGN.md; react-bits defaults are demo values. A value that is not in DESIGN.md gets added there first, then used.
  6. No matching pattern? Compose from the nearest two, or state explicitly that the effect is novel and record its mechanism in DESIGN.md before building it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

ambience-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository code-yeongyu/lazycodex (3,593 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 4,244 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-13.
