Use this resource to add an animated WebGL background behind a hero section

Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install vanta-animated-backgrounds

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent sets up a Vanta.js effect in a container on your page, tunes colors and options, and adds the cleanup needed in React or Next.js. The skill flags the usual traps: containers with no size, too many WebGL canvases, weak mobile GPUs. You get a lively background that stays readable and light.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install a package?

Not for a static site: the recipe loads three.js and the Vanta effect from a CDN. In a bundled project, three.js may need to be provided explicitly.

Will the effect slow the page down?

It uses the GPU. Keep to one or two effects per page and provide a fallback background for small screens.
