Write game shaders from cross-engine fundamentals — the vertex→fragment pipeline, coordinate spaces, UV math, and common 2D/3D effects (tint, UV scroll, dissolve, outline, fresnel rim, vignette) in GLSL with HLSL equivalents. Use when the user mentions shaders, fragment/pixel shader, vertex shader, UV, GLSL, HLSL, or effects like dissolve, outline, or rim light.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

## When to use

- Use to understand or write vertex/fragment shaders and to reason about UVs,
  coordinate spaces, and the GPU pipeline.
- Use to build common effects: tint/recolor, scrolling textures, dissolve,
  outlines, fresnel/rim light, vignette, color grading.
- Use to translate a shader concept between GLSL and HLSL, or between engines.

**When *not* to use:** for an engine's exact shader language and built-ins, use
`godot-shaders` (Godot shading language) or the engine's material docs. For full
particle VFX systems, see `unreal-niagara`. For post-process *stacks*, defer to
the engine's renderer settings.

## Core workflow

1. **Know which stage you're in.** The **vertex** shader transforms each vertex

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ukanwat/overtime/shader-programming@sha256:5e8011dceb84dec0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b73825, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
