threejs-procedural-planets: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Author procedural planetary bodies in Three.js. Use for spherical terrain, continents, ridges, craters, biome masks, coastlines, material variation, analytic normals, altitude LOD, and bodies that must hold up from orbit through close approach.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Procedural Planets

Build a planet as a coupled field system evaluated on a unit direction. The same geological causes must drive geometry, color, roughness, normal, atmosphere handoff, and distance filtering.

This skill contains exemplary examples and assets beyond descriptive guidance, they're worth studying, referencing, or even copying. Use them sufficiently when relevant and do NOT blindly skip them.

Required build order

Establish planet-space direction, radius, sea level, and world-unit scale.
Build macro silhouette fields before any surface material.
Add named geological structures: continents, basins, ridges, craters, lava fields, or ice.
Derive slope, cavity, altitude, latitude, exposure, and shoreline fields.
Classify broad biomes from those causes.
Derive displacement, color, roughness, and normal from the shared field bundle.
Filter bands by represented mesh scale and camera altitude.
Couple the material to atmosphere and lighting using the same planet transform.

Read references/planet-field-and-atmosphere-systems.md for terrain, biome, gas-giant, material, altitude-LOD, and atmosphere-handoff mechanisms, including a known CPU/GPU field-parity failure mode.

Read the procedural planet surface implementation and its shared terrain field for undeformed sphere coordinates, shared CPU/GLSL terrain, coupled biome and material causes, derivative bump, and altitude-filtered detail.

Non-negotiable constraints

Domain-warp tangentially and renormalize; do not distort the sphere radially.
Craters need floor, wall, rim, and optional ejecta—not dark circles.
Continents and biomes must be region fields, not isolated threshold bubbles.
Geometry displacement and shader normals must describe the same height function.
Close detail may disappear with altitude; the macro silhouette may not.
Expose individual field views and a displacement exaggeration mode.

Completion test

The body must remain intentional in:

unlit silhouette;
flat albedo with no atmosphere;
grazing directional light;
orbit view;
close approach;
biome-mask and normal-only views;
at least three seeds without losing the chosen planetary identity.

Routing boundary

Use $threejs-procedural-fields for a reusable field bundle without a complete body, and $threejs-atmosphere-aerial-perspective for scattering independent of planet generation. This skill owns the coupled planetary surface.

# Procedural Planets

Build a planet as a coupled field system evaluated on a unit direction. The same geological causes must drive geometry, color, roughness, normal, atmosphere handoff, and distance filtering.

This skill contains exemplary examples and assets beyond descriptive guidance,
they're worth studying, referencing, or even copying. Use them sufficiently
when relevant and do NOT blindly skip them.

## Required build order

1. Establish planet-space direction, radius, sea level, and world-unit scale.
2. Build macro silhouette fields before any surface material.
3. Add named geological structures: continents, basins, ridges, craters, lava fields, or ice.
4. Derive slope, cavity, altitude, latitude, exposure, and shoreline fields.
5. Classify broad biomes from those causes.
6. Derive displacement, color, roughness, and normal from the shared field bundle.
7. Filter bands by represented mesh scale and camera altitude.
8. Couple the material to atmosphere and lighting using the same planet transform.

Read [references/planet-field-and-atmosphere-systems.md](references/planet-field-and-atmosphere-systems.md) for terrain, biome, gas-giant, material, altitude-LOD, and atmosphere-handoff mechanisms, including a known CPU/GPU field-parity failure mode.

Read the [procedural planet surface implementation](examples/procedural-planet-surface/planet-system.js)
and its [shared terrain field](examples/procedural-planet-surface/terrain-field.js)
for undeformed sphere coordinates, shared CPU/GLSL terrain, coupled biome and
material causes, derivative bump, and altitude-filtered detail.

## Non-negotiable constraints

- Domain-warp tangentially and renormalize; do not distort the sphere radially.
- Craters need floor, wall, rim, and optional ejecta—not dark circles.
- Continents and biomes must be region fields, not isolated threshold bubbles.
- Geometry displacement and shader normals must describe the same height function.
- Close detail may disappear with altitude; the macro silhouette may not.
- Expose individual field views and a displacement exaggeration mode.

## Completion test

The body must remain intentional in:

- unlit silhouette;
- flat albedo with no atmosphere;
- grazing directional light;
- orbit view;
- close approach;
- biome-mask and normal-only views;
- at least three seeds without losing the chosen planetary identity.

## Routing boundary

Use `$threejs-procedural-fields` for a reusable field bundle without a complete
body, and `$threejs-atmosphere-aerial-perspective` for scattering independent
of planet generation. This skill owns the coupled planetary surface.

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "threejs-procedural-planets" agent skill from https://github.com/scottstts/Threejs-Awesome-Graphics-Agent-Skills/tree/main/skills/threejs-procedural-planets. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Author procedural planetary bodies in Three.js. Use for spherical terrain, continents, ridges, craters, biome masks, coastlines, material variation, analytic normals, altitude LOD, and bodies that must hold up from orbit through close approach. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"scottstts-threejs-procedural-planets","task":"Install threejs-procedural-planets","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: skills/threejs-procedural-planets/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 04856286f29b9b6e0730e798bd943753492278c3. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
