How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
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 10
Treat paint as a layered surface rather than a single colour.
- Distinctive: line 18
Not every object needs every layer explicitly, but the shader should model the important optical consequences.
- Distinctive: line 40
Avoid mirror-like paint unless the object is intentionally polished.
- Distinctive: line 65
Do not apply uniform brown/grey noise.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Paint
Target: Three.js 0.187.0, three/webgpu and TSL node materials from three/tsl; WebGPU only, no WebGL fallback, no GLSL strings.
Treat paint as a layered surface rather than a single colour.
Layers
Conceptually:
substrate -> primer -> paint -> protective/clear layer -> wear/dirt
Not every object needs every layer explicitly, but the shader should model the important optical consequences.
Controls
Consider:
- base colour
- roughness
- specular
- clearcoat
- clearcoat roughness
- fine surface normal
- colour variation
- fading
- scratches
- edge wear
- dirt
Automotive/train paint
Painted train bodies can use a smooth coloured coating with moderate clearcoat and subtle roughness variation.
Avoid mirror-like paint unless the object is intentionally polished.
Wear
Wear should be spatially meaningful:
- edges
- handles
- door areas
- maintenance access
- exposed lower sections
- high-contact surfaces
Scratches can expose primer or substrate where appropriate.
Dirt
Dirt should accumulate in:
- seams
- recesses
- lower panels
- joints
- underbody areas
Do not apply uniform brown/grey noise.
Signs
Painted signage should retain crisp lettering while allowing the sign substrate to age separately.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
