algorithmic-art

algorithmic-art is a skill for Claude Code from sendralt/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (4,226 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of algorithmic-art, MIT.

A method for creating generative art from written ideas and code. It produces a description of the artistic approach plus an interactive HTML and JavaScript viewer using p5.js, a library for browser sketches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop a generative-art philosophy, write p5.js sketches, and build interactive browser-based art viewers.
Why use it?
It helps turn abstract artistic concepts into repeatable visual systems instead of manually drawing each image. The code can use randomness, particles, flows, and mathematical rules to create variations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

algorithmic-art scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (templates/generator_template.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 416 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Algorithmic philosophies are computational aesthetic movements that are then expressed through code. Output .md files (philosophy), .html files (interactive viewer), and .js files (generative algorithms).

This happens in two steps:

  1. Algorithmic Philosophy Creation (.md file)
  2. Express by creating p5.js generative art (.html + .js files)

First, undertake this task:

ALGORITHMIC PHILOSOPHY CREATION

To begin, create an ALGORITHMIC PHILOSOPHY (not static images or templates) that will be interpreted through:

  • Computational processes, emergent behavior, mathematical beauty
  • Seeded randomness, noise fields, organic systems
  • Particles, flows, fields, forces
  • Parametric variation and controlled chaos

THE CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING

  • What is received: Some subtle input or instructions by the user to take into account, but use as a foundation; it should not constrain creative freedom.
  • What is created: An algorithmic philosophy/generative aesthetic movement.
  • What happens next: The same version receives the philosophy and EXPRESSES IT IN CODE - creating p5.js sketches that are 90% algorithmic generation, 10% essential parameters.

Consider this approach:

  • Write a manifesto for a generative art movement
  • The next phase involves writing the algorithm that brings it to life

The philosophy must emphasize: Algorithmic expression. Emergent behavior. Computational beauty. Seeded variation.

HOW TO GENERATE AN ALGORITHMIC PHILOSOPHY

Name the movement (1-2 words): "Organic Turbulence" / "Quantum Harmonics" / "Emergent Stillness"

Articulate the philosophy (4-6 paragraphs - concise but complete):

To capture the ALGORITHMIC essence, express how this philosophy manifests through:

  • Computational processes and mathematical relationships?
  • Noise functions and randomness patterns?
  • Particle behaviors and field dynamics?
  • Temporal evolution and system states?
  • Parametric variation and emergent complexity?

CRITICAL GUIDELINES:

  • Avoid redundancy: Each algorithmic aspect should be mentioned once. Avoid repeating concepts about noise theory, particle dynamics, or mathematical principles unless adding new depth.
  • Emphasize craftsmanship REPEATEDLY: The philosophy MUST stress multiple times that the final algorithm should appear as though it took countless hours to develop, was refined with care, and comes from someone at the absolute top of their field. This framing is essential - repeat phrases like "meticulously crafted algorithm," "the product of deep computational expertise," "painstaking optimization," "master-level implementation."
  • Leave creative space: Be specific about the algorithmic direction, but concise enough that the next Claude has room to make interpretive implementation choices at an extremely high level of craftsmanship.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
