Prompt: Extract Shader Previews From GitHub Repo

Prompt to extract component lists and preview images from a repository

A concise prompt pattern designed for AI coding assistants like Claude or Codex to catalog assets directly from a GitHub URL. It instructs the assistant to inspect a WebGPU shader repository and compile an inventory of shader names alongside their preview screenshots for website use.

The prompt

Prompt as written by Meng To (paste into Codex or Claude):

"https://github.com/shader-effects-inc/shaders Give me the list of the shaders and their screenshots so I can use for my website."

Pattern worth reusing: hand the agent a repo URL as the first token of the prompt, then state the output you want (names + visual previews) and the purpose (to use on your website).

What it's for

  • Catalog UI components and visual assets directly from an open-source GitHub repository
  • Extract screenshot URLs and asset names to populate a portfolio or landing page gallery
  • Speed up asset discovery across large code libraries using an AI assistant

Key points

  • URL-first prompt structure to ground the AI model on a specific repository context
  • Requests both names and visual previews (screenshots) in a single output
  • Defines the final application context (website integration) to optimize response formatting
  • Compatible with web-capable LLMs like Claude and OpenAI Codex
