Dither — component for generative & ascii (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.

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Dither from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/dither, MIT + Commons Clause: OK to render into video). Install with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/Dither-JS-CSS and put it full-frame behind tech or retro-computing titles, or use it as a texture panel. Set waveColor and backgroundColor (RGB in 0–1), colorNum 2–4 for a hard 1-bit look, pixelSize 2–4 (bigger cells survive compression better), ditherMode and waveSpeed. Set its state.time to frame / fps instead of adding the requestAnimationFrame delta (the shader multiplies it by waveSpeed), and set enableMouseInteraction={false}, clickRipple={false} and intro={false}.
