algorithmic-art
Enables your agent to create reproducible computer-generated art. It's useful for making posters, artistic images, and visual studies.
What it does
This tool creates unique artistic images using code. It ensures that if you use the same 'seed' (a secret number), the generated image will always be identical.
When to use it
- ✓To create a poster with a design that changes each time.
- ✓To make still images of motion.
- ✓To study different artistic frames.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Create abstract art using seed 123.”

How it works
You provide a number (seed), and the tool uses special code (p5.js) to draw an image based on that number. Since the number is always the same, the image will be too.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

How to use
This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign 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-art
Then 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
What is 'seeded randomness'?
It's a way to make randomness predictable. By using the same number (seed), the randomness will always produce the same outcome.
What is p5.js?
It's a programming language and set of tools created for visual arts and creative coding.
How do I use this?
You ask the AI to create art and provide a seed number so the image can be reproduced.
