# Generate reproducible algorithmic art sketches with seeded p5.js randomness

Use the Anthropic algorithmic-art skill when an agent should turn a creative brief into executable generative art, not into a static image prompt or a generic design suggestion. It directs the agent toward a repeatable p5.js workflow with seeded randomness, parameter controls, and an explicit creative philosophy.

## Prerequisites

p5.js, HTML viewer

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Use the upstream Anthropic algorithmic-art skill from the anthropics/skills repository in an agent environment that can write HTML and JavaScript files and preview p5.js sketches.
```
