algorithmic-art is a Claude skill that walks through creating generative visual art with the p5.js library. According to its SKILL.md instructions, the process has two stages: first writing a short conceptual statement describing a computational aesthetic approach, then translating that statement into working p5.js code. Randomness is controlled through a seed value so that the same seed always reproduces the same image. The final output is a single self-contained HTML file, built from a provided template, containing the artwork canvas, parameter sliders, seed navigation controls, and buttons to regenerate, reset, or download the result as an image. The instructions also direct against copying existing artists' work in order to avoid copyright issues.
What you can do with algorithmic-art
- Develop an original generative-art concept expressed as a short written aesthetic statement
- Have that concept translated into p5.js code using techniques such as flow fields or particle systems
- Receive a self-contained interactive HTML artifact with adjustable parameters
- Navigate and compare different outputs using seed controls (previous/next/random/jump)
- Export the generated artwork as a PNG file
