      <description>&lt;p&gt;Inspired by &lt;a href="https://github.com/DhvanilPatel/swarm-cursors" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;swarm-cursors&lt;/a&gt;, I’ve packaged the multi-cursor page-building effect into a reusable skill that you can integrate into your own React projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The skill includes editable React source, a scene builder, and a demo project. Cursors draw shapes and lines, type text, and build sections as you scroll. The page runs directly in your project, so visitors don’t need a browser extension.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Try it
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With Node.js 22.20 or later, install the skill and select your coding agent:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;npx skills add cxyax/swarm-cursors-skills &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--skill&lt;/span&gt; swarm-page-builder &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-g&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Then ask your agent to use &lt;code&gt;swarm-page-builder&lt;/code&gt; to create a page or integrate a full-screen route into an existing React app. The repository also includes a standalone template and setup instructions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;GitHub: &lt;a href="https://github.com/cxyax/swarm-cursors-skills" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/cxyax/swarm-cursors-skills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The screenshot shows the included personal homepage demo. I’d love feedback on the integration experience and what you’d like to build with it.&lt;/p&gt;
