shader-dev

shader-dev is a skill for Claude Code from leventilo/mobius. It costs 39 tokens per session (4,389 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of shader-dev, MIT.

A collection of GLSL techniques for writing real-time graphics shaders, small programs that calculate how pixels look on the GPU.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create ShaderToy-compatible effects such as ray-marched scenes, signed-distance shapes, lighting, procedural noise, fluids, particles, and post-processing.
Why use it?
It brings many visual-effects methods together so you can choose an approach without researching each technique from scratch.

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

shader-dev 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 2mo 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 — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shader Craft

A unified skill covering 36 GLSL shader techniques (ShaderToy-compatible) for real-time visual effects.

Invocation

/shader-dev <request>

$ARGUMENTS contains the user's request (e.g. "create a raymarched SDF scene with soft shadows").
