Is the full skill already installed?
Check whether the skill at this location still has a das: block:
- Global:
grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/algorithmic-art/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- Project:
grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/algorithmic-art/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- No
das: block → full skill installed, invoke it and proceed
das: block present → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:
To detect scope:
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/algorithmic-art ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
Global (installed with -g):
npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill algorithmic-art -g -y
Project (installed without -g):
npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill algorithmic-art -y
Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does
Official Anthropic skill for creating generative art with p5.js. Produces seeded-random compositions — flow fields, particle systems, geometric progressions — inside Claude artifacts. Seeding ensures reproducible outputs while retaining organic variation. Use for creative coding, visual experiments, and procedurally generated illustrations.
