What the Algorithmic art skill does

The assistant writes programmatic generative artwork in p5.js, using seeded random values and letting users explore settings interactively. It produces a philosophy file, a standalone HTML viewer that updates in real time as parameters change, and JavaScript files containing generative algorithms. It applies when users request code-made art, generative art, flow fields, or particle systems.

What it covers

Writes an algorithmic philosophy as a .md file
Builds interactive p5.js generative art in a single HTML file
Parameter sliders and color pickers with real-time updates
Generates 100 seed variations on request
