## What it does

This skill covers a whole interface direction, not a single widget. The page sits on a black or near-black base with faint grid lines, vertical and horizontal beam guides and light crosshairs. Nav bars, pills and controls get frosted dark surfaces with blur, a thin white edge gradient and restrained reflection.

The centerpiece is a circular dial: outer ring, tick marks, rotating labels, a central core and an optional hex frame inside. It should read like a calibration or timekeeping instrument, so crosshairs, degree labels and mono captions sit around it. The palette stays mostly monochrome — black, white, zinc, smoky gray — and brightness comes from glass highlights and soft white glow. Saturated accents break that look, so skip them.

Motion stays slow: rotating rings, drifting beams, faint wisps. Fast movement turns the instrument into noise. The skill suggests tuning glass strength first — blur, opacity, highlight intensity — and only then adding rings and markers to the dial.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill glass-dark-mode-clock -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/glass-dark-mode-clock/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/glass-dark-mode-clock/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill glass-dark-mode-clock -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/glass-dark-mode-clock/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill glass-dark-mode-clock -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/glass-dark-mode-clock/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills glass-dark-mode-clock
```

## When to use it
- build a dark landing page with an instrument-panel feel
- make nav and buttons frosted without pale blobs
- build a circular dial with rings, ticks and rotating labels
- hold a monochrome palette instead of drifting into accent colors
- add slow ring rotation and drifting beams

## Example prompts
- Build a landing page in the glass-dark-mode-clock style: dark glass, beam grid, circular dial in the center
- Rework the nav and buttons as frosted dark capsules with a thin light edge
- Add crosshairs, degree labels and a slow rotation on the outer ring around the dial

# Glass Dark Mode Clock Skill

## Use When
- Create a dark glass design system with frosted shells, soft beam grids, circular clock-like calibration dials, and precise sci-fi instrument framing.

## Workflow

## Scope
- Apply this as a full design-system direction across background, shells, navigation, hero layout, controls, circular focal components, and motion.
- Use it when the interface should feel like a premium dark instrument panel with glassy surfaces and a clock, dial, or calibration-device centerpiece.
- This is not generic glassmorphism and not just a standalone radial widget. The full interface should support the clock-like system aesthetic.

## Visual target
- Build the page on a black or near-black base with very subtle grid lines, vertical and horizontal beam guides, and faint structural crosshairs.
- Use dark glass or frosted-black surfaces for nav bars, pills, and controls, with blur, thin white edge gradients, and restrained reflection.
- Introduce a dominant circular focal element that feels like a clock, calibration dial, or resonance instrument with rings, ticks, degrees, or rotating text paths.
- Keep the palette mostly monochrome: black, white, zinc, and smoky gray. Accent brightness should come from glass highlights and soft white glow rather than saturated color.
- Let the result feel precise, scientific, and slightly cinematic, with the circular dial anchoring the page like a timekeeping or calibration device.

## Implementation guidance
- Use frosted shells with thin gradient borders, low-opacity fills, and soft backdrop blur for navigation, pills, and action controls.
- Support the circular centerpiece with crosshair lines, calibration marks, mono labels, radial rings, and small interface cues so it feels engineered.
- The clock or dial should be layered: outer ring, tick marks, rotating labels or text, central core, and optional hex or geometric inner frame.
- Keep hero copy clean and sparse, placed beside the dial within a split layout or balanced two-column composition.
- If motion is present, favor slow rotating rings, drifting beams, subtle wisps, and gentle reveal sequences. Motion should feel continuous and meditative rather than flashy.
- Glass treatment should stay dark and premium. Avoid translucent white blobs; use controlled smoky fills with crisp highlights instead.

## Recommended patterns
