What it does
- What to bring
- A visual concept, palette, and the parameters you want to explore.
- Requirements
- An AI tool that can edit HTML and JavaScript, a browser, and access to the p5.js library.
- Keep in mind
- The output is code-based artwork, not an editable vector design file. Check browser performance and any external library loading.
Try a design task
Once the skill is loaded, copy the task and adapt it to your brief.
Use algorithmic-art to create an original flowing-line pattern inspired by changing wind. Use ink, ivory, and one blue accent. Include controls for seed, density, and curvature. The same seed must reproduce the same pattern. Make the HTML viewer usable on a small screen.Installation instructions

Reopen your tool and check that algorithmic-art is available. If it is missing, check the installation location in the upstream docs.
Review the result
- The viewer loads and its controls affect the artwork.
- The same seed reproduces the same result.
- Rendering stays responsive at the intended density.
