What it is ​

GetLayers is a library of hand-designed visual pieces for cinematic marketing sites, made by the design studio Textura. Every piece (a "layer") can be copied as one long prompt that an agent rebuilds in your stack. Paid plans also let you download the source. Its llms.txt counted 50 page templates, 114 real-time 3D WebGL scenes, 10 animated sections, 276 backgrounds and 1,088 pointer-reactive gradients at review. The gradients are pure WebGL2, about a kilobyte each. The site says new layers arrive weekly.

When to open it ​

  • When a landing page needs a signature moment (a 3D hero, a fluid or particle field, an animated backdrop) that an agent won't come up with on its own.
  • When you want a whole motion-heavy template as a starting point and plan to swap the subject for your own.
  • When you want to tune a shader's look in the browser and hand the exact settings to an agent.

Most useful ​

  • Live configuration: scenes and gradients are tuned on the page before you copy, so the prompt carries your values.
  • Compose: pair a scene, gradient or background with a UI template and copy the combination as one prompt.
  • Prompt output: by default the prompt builds one self-contained HTML page. One extra line asks for Next.js, Astro, Vue or WordPress instead. The studio also sells a Next.js + Claude starter.
  • Sections: carousels, feature grids, card stacks and roadmaps with their own scroll or mouse motion already wired.

Using it with agents ​

Copy a layer's prompt into any coding agent. For MCP, add https://mcp.getlayers.ai/mcp (in Codex, through npx -y mcp-remote), sign in with a GetLayers account, and load the published skill from storage.getlayers.ai/skill/getlayers/SKILL.md. The skill tells the agent to call getlayers_start first. Through the MCP the agent can build a whole site from the library, pull one asset, pick a matching background, or read your repo and suggest where motion fits. An llms.txt describes the catalogue and plans.

Watch out for ​

  • Access is tiered: 3D scenes, backgrounds and gradient tuning need Full Stack, and the MCP needs the lifetime version of it.
  • A prompt is a description, not code. The agent's rebuild will differ from the preview; the pricing copy itself points to source downloads for a one-to-one result.
  • Heavy WebGL costs battery and frame rate on mobile. Ask for a reduced-motion path and a static fallback.
  • Prices are shown against struck-through "original" prices, and the site runs an affiliate programme.

Reusable ideas ​

  • Ship each visual effect as one self-contained prompt that includes its tuned parameters, not just a description of the look.
  • Let people adjust a shader live and copy the current state, so the handoff carries the exact values.
  • Treat a template as a foundation to re-theme: keep the motion and depth, swap the subject and copy.
  • Offer the same asset as both prompt and source, and say plainly which one gives an exact match.
