Usage

Every orb takes the same small prop surface. Shader parameters are optional — leave them out and the orb follows the preset for its current state.

Basic

import { Shdr01 } from "@/components/ui/shdr-01";

export function AgentAvatar() {
  return <Shdr01 size={280} state="idle" />;
}

Driving it from your agent

Map your own connection state onto the orb's three states. The orb handles the transition — params glide, and the animation phase stays continuous.

const orbState =
  status === "connecting" ? "thinking"
  : isAgentSpeaking ? "speaking"
  : "idle";

return <Shdr01 size={320} state={orbState} />;

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Notes

size	number	280	Rendered diameter in CSS pixels.

state	"idle" \| "thinking" \| "speaking"	"idle"	Drives the synthesized volume signals.

params	Partial<Record<string, number>>	—	Any key here overrides the state preset for that param.

colors	Partial<Record<string, string>>	—	Hex overrides, where the orb declares colors.

paused	boolean	false	Freeze on the current frame.

pauseOffscreen	boolean	true	Stop rendering while scrolled out of view.

maxDpr	number	2	Device-pixel-ratio ceiling.

wrapper	OrbWrapper	"none"	Decoration drawn around the orb: none, glass, ring, dotted, ticks, reticle, grid, halftone, scanlines.

wrapperColor	string	"currentColor"	What the wrapper draws its lines in. Glass ignores it.

className	string	—	Applied to the outermost element.

style	CSSProperties	—	Merged onto the outermost element's style.

ariaLabel	string	—	When set the orb is role=img; otherwise it is aria-hidden.

Sizing

size sets both width and height. To size from CSS instead, drop size and give the canvas a class — the runtime tracks the element box with a ResizeObserver and re-renders at the new resolution.

<Shdr01 className="size-full" state="speaking" />

Performance

Each orb owns one WebGL context, and browsers cap the number of live contexts (commonly around 16). A page with many orbs is fine because they pause offscreen, but if you need dozens visible at once, render them at a smaller size and consider lowering maxDpr to 1.
