Create Artwork Lite Skill

Create exactly one new py5 media art still image using a reduced-overhead version of the normal create-artwork workflow. This is intended for slow execution routes, especially Claude Code connected through an NVIDIA API proxy.

Use this skill when execution speed and fewer model/tool round trips matter more than a full Planner -> Artist -> Critic separation.

Workflow

1. Read only the essential parts of AGENTS.md, .agents/skills/shared/artwork-conventions.md, .agents/skills/shared/py5-templates.md, sketch/WORKS.md, and .agents/FEEDBACK.md.
2. Check git status --short. Stop if unrelated pending changes would make a clean commit unsafe.
3. Create or reuse branch feature/works-YYYYMMDD.
4. Produce a short inline creative brief:
   • work name
   • one-sentence theme
   • technique
   • 3-5 color palette
   • how it differs from recent works
5. Implement sketch/{work_name}/main.py and README.md.
6. Run uv run python sketch/{work_name}/main.py and ensure sketch/{work_name}/preview_p1.png exists.
7. Perform one concise self-critique in the same format as .agents/skills/critic/SKILL.md.
8. If the verdict is REVISE, apply at most one revision and regenerate pattern-specific previews; the second review should approve unless there is a hard failure.
9. Update both sketch/WORKS.md and .agents/FEEDBACK.md (leave Rating and Comment empty per conventions).
10. Stage only intended files:
    • sketch/{work_name}/
    • sketch/WORKS.md
    • .agents/FEEDBACK.md
11. Commit and push.
12. Report work name, score/verdict, changed files, and commit hash.

Lightweight Rules

• Do not invoke separate Planner, Artist, or Critic agents.
• Do not run an indefinite loop.
• Do not perform more than one revision.
• Do not read every historical work in detail; scan enough of sketch/WORKS.md and .agents/FEEDBACK.md to avoid obvious repetition.
• Prefer a still image over MP4 unless the concept clearly requires motion.
• Follow .agents/skills/shared/artwork-conventions.md for work names, preview names, and staging.
• Prefer existing helpers in lib/:
  • lib.paths.sketch_dir
  • lib.sizes.get_sizes
  • lib.preview.exit_after_preview_py5
  • lib.preview.maybe_save_exit_on_frame
  • lib.preview.save_preview_pil
  • lib.animation only for animation output
• Never delete unrelated files or stage unrelated pending changes.

Minimum Quality Bar

• The work must be visually intentional, not a default demo.
• The concept, technique, and palette must differ from recent works.
• preview_p1.png must be generated before review and commit.
• Agents MUST NOT write anything in the Rating or Comment fields of .agents/FEEDBACK.md.
• If critique tooling or visual inspection is unavailable, use a fallback self-critique in the critic format and explicitly output APPROVE or REVISE.
