Catalogue stub — full skill: anthropics/skills
Decision tree
- Is the full skill already installed?
Check whether the skill at this location still has a das: block: - Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/algorithmic-art/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed" - Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/algorithmic-art/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed" - No das: block → full skill installed, invoke it and proceed - das: block present → go to step 2
- Detect scope, then install:
To detect scope: ``bash [ -e ~/.agents/skills/algorithmic-art ] && echo "global" || echo "project" ``
Global (installed with -g): ``bash npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill algorithmic-art -g -y ``
Project (installed without -g): ``bash npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill algorithmic-art -y ` > Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with !` to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does
Official Anthropic skill for creating generative art with p5.js. Produces seeded-random compositions — flow fields, particle systems, geometric progressions — inside Claude artifacts. Seeding ensures reproducible outputs while retaining organic variation. Use for creative coding, visual experiments, and procedurally generated illustrations.
