## What it does

The skill instructs the agent to create fluid gooey graphics where moving shapes merge on proximity. Instead of relying on CSS hacks, it builds an SVG filter chain using Gaussian blur followed by a color matrix threshold. The resulting shapes visually fuse and split smoothly. It targets interface elements like background hero accents, loaders, or cursor-reactive fields.

The workflow requires tuning blur, contrast, and element spacing simultaneously so the shapes actually fuse. Faking the behavior with detached blurred circles is explicitly prohibited. The instructions also demand a static or simplified fallback for low-motion contexts, so you will need to account for non-animated states.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill gooey-blob-system -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill gooey-blob-system -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/gooey-blob-system/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill gooey-blob-system -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/gooey-blob-system/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills gooey-blob-system
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/gooey-blob-system/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill gooey-blob-system -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/web-design/gooey-blob-system
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/gooey-blob-system/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill gooey-blob-system -a opencode
```

name: gooey-blob-system
description: "Create a gooey blob system using SVG filters where multiple shapes merge into a single fluid form. Use overlapping circles combined with a Gaussian blur and color matrix filter to produce a continuous, organic mass. The forms should visually fuse and separate based on proximity. Focus on filter-driven merging (blur + threshold effect), soft organic boundaries with no hard edges, multiple independent shapes behaving as one system, and smooth continuous motion that feels fluid and cohesive."

# Gooey Blob System Skill

## Use When
- A page needs organic fluid shapes that visually merge, separate, and move as one soft system.

## Workflow
1. Build the effect with SVG filters: Gaussian blur followed by a color matrix threshold.
2. Animate multiple overlapping circles or blobs so they approach and separate naturally.
3. Keep boundaries soft and continuous; the visual should feel fluid rather than like separate circles.
4. Use the blob system as a background accent, loader, cursor field, or hero atmosphere.
5. Tune blur, contrast, and shape spacing together so merging remains visible.

## Guardrails
- Do not fake gooey behavior with plain blurred circles that never merge.
- Do not add fast jittery motion; keep it smooth and cohesive.
- Provide a static or simplified fallback for low-motion contexts.
