From pixijs-skills
Use this skill first for ANY PixiJS v8 task; it routes to the right specialized skill for the job. Covers the full PixiJS surface: Application setup, the scene graph (Container, Sprite, Graphics, Text, Mesh, ParticleContainer, DOMContainer, GifSprite), rendering (WebGL/WebGPU/Canvas, render loop, custom shaders, filters, blend modes), assets, events, color, math, ticker, accessibility, performance, environments, migration from v7, and project scaffolding. Triggers on: pixi, pixi.js, pixijs, PixiJS, v8, Application, app.init, Sprite, Container, Graphics, Text, Mesh, ParticleContainer, DOMContainer, GifSprite, Assets, Ticker, renderer, WebGL, WebGPU, scene graph, filter, shader, blend mode, texture, BitmapText, create-pixi, how do I draw, how do I render, how do I animate in pixi.

Entry point for the PixiJS v8 skill collection. PixiJS is the fastest library available for the web, working across all devices and allowing you to create rich, interactive graphics and cross-platform applications using WebGL, WebGPU, and Canvas as a fallback.
Renders high-performance 2D graphics, particle effects, sprite animations, and interactive canvases using PixiJS with WebGL/WebGPU acceleration for games and UI overlays.
Use this skill when upgrading to PixiJS v8 from v7 or diagnosing broken v7 code after an upgrade. Covers async app.init, single pixi.js package (deprecated @pixi/* sub-packages), Graphics shape-then-fill, BaseTexture → TextureSource, shader/uniform rework, ParticleContainer+Particle, constructor options objects, DisplayObject removal, settings/utils removal, Ticker signature, events rewrite. Triggers on: migrate v7, v8 breaking changes, @pixi/ import, DisplayObject, beginFill, endFill, cacheAsBitmap, BaseTexture, deprecated.
Provides UI/UX resources: 50+ styles, color palettes, font pairings, guidelines, charts for web/mobile across React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind, React Native, Flutter. Aids planning, building, reviewing interfaces.
