glassmorphism · ainergiz — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Generates frosted glass interface elements using blur, opacity, and delicate borders. Helpful when building floating action buttons, popovers, and navigation bars.
npx skills add ainergiz/design-inspirations --skill glassmorphism -a claude-codeWhat glassmorphism does
The skill equips coding agents with Tailwind CSS combinations for translucent UI pieces. It breaks down presets from subtle to pronounced glass, relying on backdrop-blur utilities, semi-transparent fills, and light borders like border-white/10. As a result, the model applies consistent styles for floating triggers, carousel dots, and header strips.
Guidelines also outline text readability over varied backdrop opacities so letters do not wash out. Heavy use of backdrop filters drops frame rates on budget phones, so spreading frosted layers across broad viewports will degrade rendering.
What it helps with
- generate Tailwind utility classes for frosted glass layers
- style floating action buttons and tooltips with backdrop blur
- pick readable typography colors for semi-transparent backdrops
- prevent rendering lag caused by heavy backdrop filters
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a floating header using frosted glass styling over the hero banner
- Add a glassmorphic circular action button in the bottom corner
- Create a semi-transparent tooltip container with blurred backdrop
