## What it does

The skill provides a design system rooted in near-black navy backgrounds (`#030712` and `#07111f`). The hero container uses 32px rounded corners and a dual-layer gradient border. Inside, an animated 2D canvas or WebGL layer drives the visuals directly rather than sitting as a static image.

It includes complete CSS color tokens, glass-style pill navigation using `backdrop-filter: blur(18px)`, and a JavaScript canvas engine. The script animates four radial gradient points with screen blending and scanlines. It also checks `prefers-reduced-motion` to pause drifting when motion reduction is requested.

The system strictly targets deep navy palettes, so adapting it to light themes requires writing separate overrides.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/web-design/mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill mesh-gradient-dark-blue-clean -a opencode
```

description: Create a futuristic, premium, clean dark-blue mesh-gradient design system across background rendering, hero shell, navigation, floating nodes, framed sections, CTAs, and motion. Use when the interface needs a near-black navy foundation, procedural blue mesh atmosphere, disciplined minimal structure, and infrastructural or planetary depth.

# Mesh Gradient Dark Blue Clean

## Use When
- The whole page should feel futuristic, premium, clean, and infrastructural.
- A dark-blue mesh gradient should power the composition, not sit behind it as a generic backdrop.
- The interface needs a central hero shell, restrained navigation, floating network hints, framed sections, and slow technical motion.

## Direction
Build on a near-black foundation with a deep navy or steel-blue undertone. Place a shader-like mesh gradient, CPPN-style field, abstract WebGL veil, or canvas light field inside the main hero shell. Keep the surrounding system disciplined: crisp typography, thin rails, corner markers, tiny status dots, quiet frames, and sparse node callouts.

This is not an airy blue page. This is not generic glassmorphism. The mesh is the visual engine inside a minimal system shell.

## System Recipe
1. Foundation: near-black navy, not flat black.
2. Hero shell: large rounded container with a subtle white-to-transparent gradient border and darker inner fill.
3. Mesh field: blue-led procedural canvas or WebGL layer inside the shell.
4. Typography: white headlines, gray-blue support copy, restrained accents.
5. Navigation: compact dark translucent pill with light edge gradient.
6. Nodes: a few floating glass pills, active dots, tiny labels, and connector lines.
7. Structure: thin vertical rails, corner squares, numeric markers, and framed lower sections.
8. CTAs: one bright solid capsule plus one ghost or glass capsule with a faint border gradient.
9. Motion: slow mesh drift, subtle scan streaks, masked text reveal, or tiny node shimmer.

## Color Tokens

```css
:root {
  --mesh-bg: #030712;
  --mesh-bg-blue: #07111f;
  --mesh-shell: rgba(7, 13, 25, 0.82);
  --mesh-shell-inner: rgba(4, 9, 18, 0.72);
  --mesh-line: rgba(191, 219, 254, 0.14);
  --mesh-line-strong: rgba(226, 232, 240, 0.28);
  --mesh-text: #f8fafc;
  --mesh-copy: #9fb2ca;
  --mesh-muted: #64748b;
  --mesh-accent: #dbeafe;
  --mesh-cobalt: #1d4ed8;
  --mesh-indigo: #312e81;
  --mesh-steel: #385a7c;
}
```

## Page Foundation

```css
.mesh-page {
  min-height: 100vh;
  color: var(--mesh-text);
  background:
    radial-gradient(circle at 50% 0%, rgba(29, 78, 216, 0.18), transparent 34rem),
    linear-gradient(180deg, var(--mesh-bg-blue), var(--mesh-bg) 48%, #01030a);
}

.mesh-page::selection {
  color: #020617;
  background: var(--mesh-accent);
}
```
