# Sparkles — component for particles & physics (react)

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

- **Install:** `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/sparkles`
- **Registry:** aceternity · **Framework:** react · **License:** Aceternity License (free components)
- **Docs and preview:** https://ui.aceternity.com/components/sparkles
- **Source:** https://ui.aceternity.com/components/sparkles
- **Example:** https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-aceternity-sparkles.mp4?v=87620 (Rendered by varg from the library’s own code (Aceternity UI))
- **Time:** Drive from the frame. Runs on its own clock (requestAnimationFrame, timers, springs or CSS). Drive it from frame / fps before rendering, or the render drifts.
- **Runs:** local render, free
- **Aspect:** any

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Aceternity UI's Sparkles (https://ui.aceternity.com/components/sparkles; free under the Aceternity License, fine in commercial video, source not redistributable) as a particle band under my logo or wordmark, on black. Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/sparkles`. It runs tsParticles on its own requestAnimationFrame loop with random particles, so for a frame-exact render give it a fixed seed and step the engine from frame / fps, or rebuild the field as a seeded canvas that draws particle positions as a function of t (HyperFrames: drive it from the timeline). Tune particleColor, particleDensity, minSize, maxSize, speed and background, and keep the gradient horizon lines.
