Turns Paper Shaders (30 WebGL shaders: mesh and grain gradients, god rays, liquid metal, smoke ring, dithering, halftone, paper texture and more) into frame-exact backgrounds, textures and logo stings for HyperFrames or Remotion videos, in brand colors, with nine tested presets. Every frame is drawn from timeline time, so renders are seekable, parallel and repeatable, and spend no varg credits. Use when a video needs an animated shader background, a grain, dither, halftone or paper look on…

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

# Paper Shaders for video

Paper Shaders draws designer-tuned WebGL shaders into a canvas. Left alone it animates from the wall clock, which flickers and drifts in a video render. This skill mounts every shader at speed 0 and draws each frame from the timeline, so the same frame always gives the same picture.

## Gates

1. **Pin `@paper-design/shaders@0.0.82`.** Use that exact version everywhere. Never use 0.0.47–0.0.76: they are PolyForm Shield, not open source. Bumping the version follows `references/licensing.md`.
2. **Speed 0, time from the timeline.** Mount shaders only through `templates/paper-preset.js`. Never set `speed` above 0, and never let scene code read `Date.now()`, `performance.now()`, `requestAnimationFrame` or unseeded `Math.random()`.
3. **No credits here.** Shader layers render locally for free. If the video also needs generated footage, voice or music, that is the varg-ai skill: call `estimate_cost` and wait for the user's approval before any generation.
4. **Rights.** Logos and stills fed to image presets must be the user's own or licensed. Do not apply a shader to another company's logo.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varghq/skills/paper-shaders@sha256:f96a99f7e261e1ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
