What Shader Programming does

Shader Programming teaches cross-engine shader fundamentals for vertex and fragment stages, UV math, and coordinate spaces. Use it to write or translate common effects like tint, scrolling textures, dissolve, outline, fresnel rim, and vignette in GLSL with HLSL equivalents.

Shader Programming is cataloged under Frontend on DirSkills. Shader Programming comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, antigravity, awesome-list and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Shader programming (cross-engine)

Shaders are small programs that run per vertex and per pixel on the GPU. The concepts — the pipeline, coordinate spaces, UVs, and how common effects are built — port across engines; only the language dialect and built-in variable names change. This skill teaches those portable fundamentals in GLSL with HLSL equivalents; use godot-shaders (or Unity/Unreal material docs) for the exact engine syntax and built-ins.
