Three.js Visual Skill Router
Treat the model's Three.js knowledge and official documentation as prerequisites. Load only the expertise that changes the visual result.
This pack goes beyond procedural guidance: its working examples and supporting assets contain much of its practical implementation value. When they are relevant, give them particular attention.

Execution order
For a new procedural scene:
- Define a visual contract: subject, scale, camera distance, motion, and target frame budget.
- Load
$threejs-camera-directionwhen framing, lens, camera frame, or mode transitions affect the target. - Load the subject-generation skill.
- Add
$threejs-procedural-animationwhen object motion requires authored phases, moving frames, or spring convergence. - Add
$threejs-procedural-fieldswhen multiple visual channels must share coherent structure. - Add lighting/shadows and atmosphere only after silhouette and material masks read without effects.
- Add
$threejs-image-pipelinelast. - Load only the atomic image effects actually needed.
- Use
$threejs-visual-validationfor a deterministic evidence set.
Routing constraints
- Do not load a skill for API setup alone. Inspect the installed Three.js version and use official docs.
- Do not route “make it beautiful” directly to post-processing. Find the missing authored system.
- Prefer one strong, inspectable visual rule over several independent noise layers.
- When adapting a supplied reference, preserve the mechanism that creates its character. Do not reduce it to a generic effect category.
- Keep object-space, world-space, and screen-space systems separate unless the composition explicitly requires coupling.
- If no retained skill matches, state that the pack lacks expert coverage for that system. Do not stretch the nearest skill to cover it.
Acceptance gate
A routed task is incomplete until the implementation exposes:
- deterministic seed or reproducible inputs;
- visual debug modes for its controlling fields;
- parameters grouped by perceptual role;
- an intentional mechanism-backed quality or resolution tier when the system defines one;
- a no-post baseline that still reads.
