Algorithmic Art Skill
Creates gallery-quality computational art through a two-step process:
- Algorithmic Philosophy Creation — Define a generative aesthetic movement (.md)
- p5.js Implementation — Express it as interactive generative art (.html + .js)
Features
- Seeded randomness (Art Blocks pattern) for reproducible variations
- Interactive parameter controls (sliders, color pickers)
- Seed navigation (prev/next/random/jump)
- Self-contained HTML artifacts (works in any browser)
- Anthropic-branded viewer template
Templates
templates/viewer.html — Required starting point for all HTML artifactstemplates/generator_template.js — Reference for p5.js best practices
Usage
