# Comet

> Orbit pack asset: a comet with an icy, glowing head and a tapered tail that ripples and twists in three lobes, running from glow through accent to pale trim, with sparks streaming back along it. Raymarched in WebGL with soft studio light. Six palettes or your own colors. Zero dependencies; any number share one WebGL context.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/orbit-comet/orbit-comet.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/orbit-comet
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/orbit-comet.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
