Create Video Artwork Skill
Autonomously creates a py5 media art animation by following the workflow defined in AGENTS.md.
Workflow
- Read
AGENTS.md, .agents/skills/shared/artwork-conventions.md, and .agents/skills/shared/py5-templates.md to confirm the full workflow and shared conventions
- Planner: Read
sketch/WORKS.md and .agents/FEEDBACK.md, then use the logic-lab MCP server to search for relevant algorithm references before producing a Creative Brief with Format: Animation (10-30s @ 60fps) (see .agents/skills/planner/SKILL.md)
- Create or reuse the branch
feature/works-YYYYMMDD
- Artist: Implement the concept from the Creative Brief in
sketch/{work_name}/main.py; ensure it uses FFmpeg for encoding (see .agents/skills/artist/SKILL.md)
- Run the sketch to generate both the video file (
output.mp4) and pattern-specific preview images; ensure the process terminates correctly
- Critic: Review code, generated video, and preview images and return APPROVE or REVISE (see
.agents/skills/critic/SKILL.md)
- If REVISE: artist applies feedback and re-runs (max 2 revisions)
- Update
sketch/WORKS.md and .agents/FEEDBACK.md (leave Rating and Comment empty per conventions)
- Commit and push
Notes
- Always choose a concept, theme, and technique different from every past work
- Follow shared naming, preview, and staging rules in
.agents/skills/shared/artwork-conventions.md
- Entry point filename is always
main.py
- Prefer the
logic-lab MCP server for external algorithm references.
- Animation is the primary output; ensure
output.mp4 is generated. Commit MP4 files only when explicitly requested.
