What it does

Teaches an AI agent how to generate architectural landmarks such as pagodas, castles, domes and spires in Three.js from parameters rather than pre-made 3D model files. It also explains how to animate the building assembling itself, with finished masonry rising up through scaffolding, instead of simply fading in. The agent gets a set of geometry helpers, roof-shaping formulas, and common pitfalls to avoid, such as inverted faces and NaN errors.

Great for

  • Front-end developers building 3D hero scenes or landmark visualisations in Three.js
  • Designers or motion artists making architectural title sequences or construction studies
  • Creators who want procedurally generated buildings from parameter tables rather than modelled assets

Skip it if

  • People who need ready-made 3D models or do not write or run Three.js code (the skill assumes familiarity with WebGL concepts)
  • Projects that need photorealistic architecture or engineering-accurate structures, since the approach is stylised and parametric

Try asking

  • “Build a procedural East Asian pagoda in Three.js with a roof that curls up at the corners”
  • “Create a build animation where a castle assembles itself from the ground up using a clipping plane”
  • “Generate an Ottoman-style dome with a clipped cap and scaffolding that stands ahead of the finished stonework”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Start from the included demo/index.html to see the intended output before adapting the builders to a new style.
  • Ask the agent to get one prism or roof right first, then reuse its vertex ordering, since winding errors are the most common problem.
  • Describe the building's proportions and number of storeys so the agent can size details as fractions of each face.
