threejs-screen-space-ambient-occlusion: Workflow Automation for AI... | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion

AO estimates missing ambient visibility. It must modulate indirect lighting, not repaint all scene color with a dark multiply.

Workflow

Verify linear depth and view-space normals.
Reconstruct view position consistently.
Sample horizon visibility in a controlled radius.
Estimate AO and optional bent normal.
Denoise with depth/normal-aware filters.
Apply to indirect diffuse and environment response.

Read references/gtao-bent-normal-pipeline.md.

Failure conditions

direct light and emission are darkened;
radius is specified only in pixels;
foreground silhouettes cast thick screen-space halos;
depth discontinuities are blurred together;
AO remains strong at distances where its world radius is subpixel;
bent normals are treated as ordinary geometric normals;
the implementation claims temporal accumulation even though this path has none.

Routing boundary

This skill owns GTAO gathering, bent normals, denoising, and AO application. Use $threejs-image-pipeline only when its depth/normal buffers or pass order must be coordinated with other image-space systems.

# Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion

AO estimates missing ambient visibility. It must modulate indirect lighting, not repaint all scene color with a dark multiply.

## Workflow

1. Verify linear depth and view-space normals.
2. Reconstruct view position consistently.
3. Sample horizon visibility in a controlled radius.
4. Estimate AO and optional bent normal.
5. Denoise with depth/normal-aware filters.
6. Apply to indirect diffuse and environment response.

Read [references/gtao-bent-normal-pipeline.md](references/gtao-bent-normal-pipeline.md).

## Failure conditions

- direct light and emission are darkened;
- radius is specified only in pixels;
- foreground silhouettes cast thick screen-space halos;
- depth discontinuities are blurred together;
- AO remains strong at distances where its world radius is subpixel;
- bent normals are treated as ordinary geometric normals;
- the implementation claims temporal accumulation even though this path has none.

## Routing boundary

This skill owns GTAO gathering, bent normals, denoising, and AO application.
Use `$threejs-image-pipeline` only when its depth/normal buffers or pass order
must be coordinated with other image-space systems.

Codex install prompt

Install the "threejs-screen-space-ambient-occlusion" agent skill from https://github.com/scottstts/Threejs-Awesome-Graphics-Agent-Skills/tree/main/skills/threejs-screen-space-ambient-occlusion. 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: Implement a production GTAO path in Three.js. Use for half-resolution horizon sampling, reversed-depth reconstruction, bent-normal encoding, full-resolution bilateral reconstruction, environment-light application, contact grounding, and halo diagnosis. 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-screen-space-ambient-occlusion","task":"Install threejs-screen-space-ambient-occlusion","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-screen-space-ambient-occlusion/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 04856286f29b9b6e0730e798bd943753492278c3. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
