Generative art
Use this skill when the user asks for algorithmic or generative visual work. Build an expressive system,
not a static image with random decoration.
Creative process
- Extract a compact conceptual seed from the brief: mood, reference, material, motion, or tension.
- Describe the system in plain language: its rules, forces, palette logic, and source of variation.
- Implement a reproducible artifact with a visible seed and a small set of meaningful parameters.
- Make the controls change the system's behaviour, not just cosmetic values.
- Inspect several seeds and tune density, contrast, performance, and composition before delivery.
Artifact rules
- Prefer a self-contained HTML artifact for interactive work. It may load a stable public rendering
library when necessary, but all artwork logic and controls belong in the artifact.
- Keep the interface neutral and xopc-branded; do not reproduce another product's styling or marks.
- Include seed navigation, reset, regeneration, and export when creating an interactive browser piece.
- Use seeded pseudo-randomness so the same seed and parameters produce the same result.
- Respect the user's visual references without claiming an artist's identity or copying protected work.
