threejs-math
Skill9 starsChanged 54 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub
three.js math library: Vector2/3/4, Matrix3/4, Quaternion, Euler, Color, Box2/Box3, Sphere, Plane, Ray, Line3, Triangle, Frustum, Cylindrical/Spherical coords, MathUtils, and Interpolant base classes; addon math utilities such as OBB, Octree, Capsule, ConvexHull, MeshSurfaceSampler. Use for transforms, intersection tests, and spatial queries; for keyframe interpolation tied to AnimationMixer use threejs-animation; for picking implementation use threejs-objects with Raycaster.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 64
When answering under this skill, prefer responses that:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

When to use this skill
ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:
- Vector/matrix math order,
applyQuaternion,lookAt, world vs local transforms - Bounding volumes
Box3/Sphere, containment/intersection tests RayvsPlanevsFrustumtests (without full picking pipeline)
IMPORTANT: math vs objects vs animation
| Need | Skill |
| Raw math types | threejs-math |
Raycaster + layers picking | threejs-objects |
| QuaternionKeyframeTrack playback | threejs-animation |
Trigger phrases include:
- "Vector3", "Matrix4", "Quaternion", "Box3", "Ray", "Frustum"
- "向量", "矩阵", "四元数", "包围盒"
How to use this skill
- Conventions: multiply vectors by matrices on the left as three.js examples show; call
updateMatrixWorldbefore world-space queries (threejs-objects). - Bounding:
Box3().setFromObject(object)for rough bounds; refine per need. - Collision-ish checks:
ray.intersectBox,sphere.containsPoint, etc., per docs. - Addon structures:
Octree/OBBfor games—cite addon pages, avoid copying full API tables here. - Color:
Colorconversions relate to materials/textures—cross-link. - Random sampling:
MeshSurfaceSamplerfor distributing points on meshes.
See examples/workflow-ray-aabb.md.

Scope
- In scope: Core Math types; addon math entries as pointers.
- Out of scope: Keyframe track evaluation beyond type references (animation skill).
Common pitfalls and best practices
- Euler gimbal lock—prefer quaternions for arbitrary rotations.
- Reusing temporary vectors reduces GC thrash in hot loops.
- Frustum culling helpers vary—verify against your three version.
Documentation and version
Core math types are listed under Math; addon utilities (Octree, OBB, …) appear under Addons → Math in three.js docs. Global also lists constants (e.g. wrapping, blending) sometimes needed alongside materials.
Agent response checklist
When answering under this skill, prefer responses that:
- Link the concrete type (
Vector3,Matrix4,Quaternion, …) from the docs. - Send
AnimationMixer/ track math to threejs-animation when time-sampled. - Send
Raycasterpicking flows to threejs-objects when interaction is the goal. - Mention numeric stability (epsilon) where comparisons matter.
- Point to Addons → Math for game-oriented structures when users need spatial acceleration.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
