Boids Ecosystem — 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.

Hundreds of tiny coloured triangles flocking across a dark canvas like a school of fish

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Boids Ecosystem from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/background/boids-ecosystem, MIT) as a living generative background behind a title or data story. It is a canvas flocking simulation (separation, alignment, cohesion) stepped in requestAnimationFrame from random start positions, and it reacts to the cursor, so frames can't be sought directly. For a render, seed the starting flock, remove the cursor input, and step the simulation a fixed number of ticks per video frame from frame 0 (cache the states so a seek replays from the nearest cached tick); drive it from frame / fps in Remotion or the timeline time in HyperFrames. Set count, palette (brand colours), background, agentShape and attractors to steer the flock around text.
