Algorithmic Art

Turn code into mesmerizing generative art — flow fields, particles, and more.

Algorithmic Art is an official Anthropic skill that creates original generative art with p5.js — flow fields, particle systems, and organic, code-driven visuals. It builds an interactive viewer so you can tweak the parameters and explore endless variations, and it uses seeded randomness so you can reproduce a piece you love. Everything is made from scratch, so nothing copies another artist’s work.

What it does

  • Creates original generative art from code — flow fields, particle systems, noise-driven patterns.
  • Builds an interactive viewer so you can adjust parameters and explore variations.
  • Uses seeded randomness, so you can reproduce a piece you love exactly.
  • Makes everything from scratch — never copying existing artists.

Works with

  • Generative
  • Interactive
  • p5.js

What's in the download

  • SKILL.md — the skill itself, ready to install.
  • A generative-art code template and an interactive HTML viewer.

How to install (2 minutes)

  1. 1Download the .zip and unzip it — you’ll get a folder called algorithmic-art.
  2. 2In the Claude app: open Settings → Capabilities → Skills, choose Add / Upload, and select the folder (or the .zip).
  3. 3In Claude Code: drop the folder into your project’s .claude/skills/ directory, then type /skills to confirm it loaded.
  4. 4That’s it — ask for generative art and Claude builds it, viewer and all.
