threejs-procedural-planets

threejs-procedural-planets is a skill for Codex from scottstts/Threejs-Awesome-Graphics-Agent-Skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Three.js system for creating planets from mathematical surface fields. The same terrain causes drive the planet's shape, colors, surface texture, lighting response, atmosphere, and level of detail as the camera moves closer or farther away.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate spherical terrain, continents, ridges, craters, lava fields, ice, biome masks, changing detail levels, and atmosphere transitions.
Why use it?
It keeps continents, craters, biomes, materials, and atmosphere consistent instead of generating each part independently. This helps a planet remain convincing from orbit through close views.

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

threejs-procedural-planets 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (examples/procedural-planet-surface/planet-system.js, examples/procedural-planet-surface/terrain-field.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Procedural Planets

Build a planet as a coupled field system evaluated on a unit direction. The same geological causes must drive geometry, color, roughness, normal, atmosphere handoff, and distance filtering.

This skill contains exemplary examples and assets beyond descriptive guidance, they're worth studying, referencing, or even copying. Use them sufficiently when relevant and do NOT blindly skip them.

Required build order

  1. Establish planet-space direction, radius, sea level, and world-unit scale.
  2. Build macro silhouette fields before any surface material.
  3. Add named geological structures: continents, basins, ridges, craters, lava fields, or ice.
  4. Derive slope, cavity, altitude, latitude, exposure, and shoreline fields.
  5. Classify broad biomes from those causes.
  6. Derive displacement, color, roughness, and normal from the shared field bundle.
  7. Filter bands by represented mesh scale and camera altitude.
  8. Couple the material to atmosphere and lighting using the same planet transform.

Read references/planet-field-and-atmosphere-systems.md for terrain, biome, gas-giant, material, altitude-LOD, and atmosphere-handoff mechanisms, including a known CPU/GPU field-parity failure mode.

Read the procedural planet surface implementation and its shared terrain field for undeformed sphere coordinates, shared CPU/GLSL terrain, coupled biome and material causes, derivative bump, and altitude-filtered detail.

Non-negotiable constraints

  • Domain-warp tangentially and renormalize; do not distort the sphere radially.
  • Craters need floor, wall, rim, and optional ejecta—not dark circles.
  • Continents and biomes must be region fields, not isolated threshold bubbles.
  • Geometry displacement and shader normals must describe the same height function.
  • Close detail may disappear with altitude; the macro silhouette may not.
  • Expose individual field views and a displacement exaggeration mode.

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.
