How to use Algorithmic Art Generator in your AI agent

Install and use the Algorithmic Art Generator skill in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Windsurf — with sample prompts.

What you'll get

This skill creates original algorithmic art using code-based generative techniques. You describe the kind of visual aesthetic you want — flowing patterns, particle systems, organic chaos — and the AI generates both the artistic philosophy behind it and a live interactive art piece you can view in your browser. Perfect for anyone who wants custom, one-of-a-kind visuals without touching code.

Step 1 — Get the skill source URL

The Algorithmic Art Generator skill lives at:

Step 2 — Add it to your AI agent

Copy one of these prompts and paste it into your AI tool. The agent will fetch and install the skill for you.

Claude Code

Add the agent skill from https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art to my project.

Cursor

Install this agent skill: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art

Codex

Add this skill to .codex/skills/: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art

Gemini CLI

Add the skill at https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art to my .gemini/skills/ directory.

OpenCode

Install this agent skill from https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art

Windsurf

Add this skill: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/algorithmic-art

Step 3 — Try these prompts

Once the skill is installed, ask your AI things like:

  • You need unique visuals for a presentation, website, or brand identity
  • You want custom art for social posts, event posters, or marketing materials
  • Exploring creative concepts and want to see them expressed as living algorithms
  • You need one-of-a-kind generative visuals that feel crafted and sophisticated

What this skill does

  • Generates unique algorithmic art based on your creative direction or theme
  • Creates interactive HTML viewers so you can see and experience the art in real-time
  • Produces flowing particle systems, organic patterns, noise fields, and emergent visuals
  • Outputs philosophy documents explaining the artistic concept behind each piece
  • Makes each piece reproducible with seeded randomness so you can regenerate variations
