Threejs Procedural Fields Agent Skill
Build coherent procedural scalar and vector fields for Three.js materials and geometry. Use for terrain, planets, wear, biomes, clouds, water masks, displacement, roughness, normals, domain warping, and any visual where several channels must derive from shared causes.

Do not start by stacking noise. Start by defining the fields the object physically or stylistically needs.
Field contract
Before shader code, write a field bundle:
coordinates
→ macro form
→ meso structure
→ derived causes
→ material channels
Example:
sphereDirection
→ warpedDirection
→ elevation + ridges + craterDepth
→ slope + cavity + latitude + moisture
→ biome + color + roughness + bump
Required workflow
- Choose coordinates that remain stable under camera and object motion.
- Lock real or perceptual scale for each frequency band.
- Create named primary fields. Never hide the whole look in one expression.
- Derive secondary fields from causes: slope from normals, shore from sea-level distance, wear from exposure, dirt from cavity.
- Reuse the same fields across color, roughness, normal, displacement, emission, and scattering.
- Add debug output for every named field.
- Filter high-frequency fields by derivatives, tessellation density, or camera distance.
Read references/field-stack-recipes.md
before implementation. It records sphere, terrain, water, and
structured-placement field contracts plus common parity defects.
Read the
procedural planet surface
for a shared CPU/GLSL field bundle whose height, continents, climate, biomes,
roughness, and normals remain independently inspectable.
Non-negotiable rules
- Independent noise per channel produces visual soup. Share structure.
- Domain warp the coordinates, not every result.
- Warp spherical coordinates tangentially, then renormalize.
- Use different frequency bands for silhouette, regions, surface breakup, and micro-normal.
- Do not displace geometry with frequencies the mesh cannot represent.
- Keep categorical masks broad enough to avoid isolated “bubble” regions.
- Parameter names must describe perception:
ridgeWidth,coastBlend,cavityDarkening, notnoise3Amount.
Routing boundary
Use this skill when the shared field model is the task. Use
$threejs-procedural-materials when the task is channel assembly and material
response, and $threejs-procedural-planets when the deliverable is a complete
planetary body.

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.

Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
