A p5.js skill that generates reproducible visual art using seeded randomness for procedural graphics.
About
This skill enables developers to create generative art using p5.js with seeded randomness, ensuring every render is reproducible. Developers invoke it when building procedural posters, motion-style stills, or artistic frame studies that require deterministic output. The skill integrates into agent workflows as a discoverable tool during planning, allowing agents to generate visual content on demand by invoking the skill by name or trigger phrases. Installation routes through the upstream Anthropic skills repository, and usage involves requesting the agent to produce algorithmic art outputs.
- p5.js-based generative art creation with seeded randomness for reproducibility
- Supports procedural posters, motion stills, and artistic frame study generation
- Discoverable by agents via trigger phrases during planning phases
- Reproducible renders - same seed produces identical output every time
- Integrates as upstream bundle into agent skills directory

How to use
This catalogue entry advertises the skill in Open Design so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-artThen ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (algorithmic-art) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.

FAQ
How does seeded randomness ensure reproducibility?
Using a seed value initializes the random number generator to produce the same sequence every time, making renders deterministic.
What types of art can I create with this skill?
Procedural posters, motion-style stills, artistic frame studies, and other generative visuals using p5.js algorithms.
How do I invoke this skill in an agent?
Call the skill by name (algorithmic-art) or use trigger phrases like 'generative art', 'p5js', or 'procedural art'.
