# Particles — 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 @magicui/particles`
- **Registry:** magic-ui · **Framework:** react · **License:** MIT
- **Docs and preview:** https://magicui.design/docs/components/particles
- **Source:** https://github.com/magicuidesign/magicui/blob/main/apps/www/registry/magicui/particles.tsx
- **Example:** https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-magic-ui-particles.mp4?v=18830 (Captured from the library’s own demo page (Magic 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.

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Particles from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/particles, MIT) as a quiet full-frame background behind text or a product. It draws on a canvas in a requestAnimationFrame loop with random start positions and mouse magnetism, so it is not repeatable. For a render, seed the random generator, drop the mouse handlers and compute every dot's position from time: p = p0 + v * t, wrapped at the edges, plus a small sine drift; t comes from frame / fps in Remotion or the timeline time in HyperFrames. Set quantity, size, color (from the brand), vx and vy for a steady drift, and staticity and ease for how lively it feels.
