Algorithmic Art Skill

Creates gallery-quality computational art through a two-step process:

1. Algorithmic Philosophy Creation — Define a generative aesthetic movement (.md)
2. 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 artifacts
• templates/generator_template.js — Reference for p5.js best practices
