p5js

p5js is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tommy-yw/RunbookHermes. It costs 152 tokens per session (6,839 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of p5js, MIT.

A production guide for making interactive and generative visual art with p5.js, a JavaScript library that draws graphics in a web browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create generative art, data visualizations, interactive experiences, 2D and 3D scenes, audio-reactive visuals, and motion graphics.
Why use it?
It helps turn creative ideas into polished browser sketches instead of leaving you with a basic coding example.

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

p5js scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/render.sh, scripts/serve.sh, scripts/setup.sh), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 548 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

p5.js Production Pipeline

Creative Standard

This is visual art rendered in the browser. The canvas is the medium; the algorithm is the brush.

Before writing a single line of code, articulate the creative concept. What does this piece communicate? What makes the viewer stop scrolling? What separates this from a code tutorial example? The user's prompt is a starting point — interpret it with creative ambition.

First-render excellence is non-negotiable. The output must be visually striking on first load. If it looks like a p5.js tutorial exercise, a default configuration, or "AI-generated creative coding," it is wrong. Rethink before shipping.

Go beyond the reference vocabulary. The noise functions, particle systems, color palettes, and shader effects in the references are a starting vocabulary. For every project, combine, layer, and invent. The catalog is a palette of paints — you write the painting.

Be proactively creative. If the user asks for "a particle system," deliver a particle system with emergent flocking behavior, trailing ghost echoes, palette-shifted depth fog, and a background noise field that breathes. Include at least one visual detail the user didn't ask for but will appreciate.

Dense, layered, considered. Every frame should reward viewing. Never flat white backgrounds. Always compositional hierarchy. Always intentional color. Always micro-detail that only appears on close inspection.

Cohesive aesthetic over feature count. All elements must serve a unified visual language — shared color temperature, consistent stroke weight vocabulary, harmonious motion speeds. A sketch with ten unrelated effects is worse than one with three that belong together.

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.

p5js is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tommy-yw/RunbookHermes (544 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 152 tokens to every session and 6,839 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 98% identical to p5js, differing in 17 lines, and is treated as a copy.
