pixijs-core-concepts

pixijs-core-concepts is a skill for Claude Code from pixijs/pixijs-skills. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,517 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A foundational guide to how PixiJS v8 turns a scene into displayed pixels. It explains the renderer, frame loop, and the way PixiJS selects WebGL, WebGPU, or Canvas rendering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the active renderer, update objects each frame, render scenes manually or through the ticker, and extract rendered textures.
Why use it?
It gives the mental model needed to understand what happens each frame and where application, timing, and rendering choices fit together.

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

pixijs-core-concepts 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 13d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Foundational model for how PixiJS v8 gets pixels on the screen: the renderer decides which GPU backend to use, the render loop drives per-frame work, and the environment layer adapts the library to browser, Web Worker, or SSR contexts. For the scene graph itself (Containers, transforms, destroy), see pixijs-scene-core-concepts.

Quick Start

console.log(app.renderer.name); // 'webgl' | 'webgpu' | 'canvas'

app.ticker.add((ticker) => {
  sprite.rotation += 0.01 * ticker.deltaTime;
});

const tex = app.renderer.extract.texture({ target: app.stage });

app.renderer.render({ container: app.stage });

app.renderer is the WebGLRenderer, WebGPURenderer, or CanvasRenderer chosen by autoDetectRenderer. The TickerPlugin drives renderer.render() automatically; call it manually only with autoStart: false. Backend selection happens in Application.init({ preference }); see pixijs-application for setup.

Related skills: pixijs-application (Application construction and lifecycle), pixijs-ticker (per-frame logic, priorities, FPS capping), pixijs-environments (Web Worker, SSR, strict CSP), pixijs-custom-rendering (writing a RenderPipe), pixijs-scene-core-concepts (scene graph basics).
