Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Anime Style
Hard color breaks. Clean silhouettes. Cel shading. Anime proportion language.
When to Use
- Anime / cel-shaded characters and props
- Toon shader lookdev
- Hard shadow graphic looks (not soft PBR)
Core Tenets
1. **Flat tonal regions** — 2–4 value steps max per material 2. **Hard shadow terminators** — Specular as graphic shapes 3. **Line / silhouette clarity** — Optional freestyle or inverted hull 4. **Proportion language** — Eyes, hair masses, simplified anatomy 5. **Palette discipline** — Limited hues; accent sparingly
Shading Approach
| Method | Use | |--------|-----| | Shader Toon / ColorRamp on diffuse | Fast Eevee/Cycles toon | | Emission + ramp | Graphic unlit regions | | Freestyle / grease pencil lines | Contours | | Solidify inverted hull | Thick outlines |
Modeling Notes
- Simplify secondary forms; hair as masses
- Creases where color breaks need support
- Avoid noisy micro detail fighting flat shading
Lighting
- Single clear key for graphic shadows
- Rim optional for separation
- Avoid heavy soft GI wash unless intentional
Vs stylized-style
- `stylized-style` = broad NPR / hand-painted
- `anime-style` = cel breaks, anime proportions, toon stack
Constraints
MUST DO
- Limit value steps
- Keep silhouette iconic
- Test with toon lighting early
MUST NOT DO
- Full PBR roughness noise as primary look
- Over-subsurface that melts cel breaks
