Curated by Skill Harbor — an official Anthropic skill for creating algorithmic art: it guides the agent through writing an "algorithmic philosophy" (a computational aesthetic manifesto) then expressing it as a p5.js generative sketch with seeded randomness, noise fields, particle systems, and an interactive viewer with seed navigation and parameter sliders. Every artwork starts from Anthropic's branded viewer template and is fully self-contained. By @anthropics, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: output is interactive generative art in the browser (not print-ready static renders); strong emphasis on the artistic process rather than turnkey results. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: a browser to view the generated art — no dependencies, works with p5.js loaded from CDN Install "Algorithmic Art" for me. Create generative algorithmic art with p5.js — seeded randomness, flow fields, particle systems, and interactive parameter exploration Repository: https://github.com/anthropics/skills 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the anthropics-algorithmic-art skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "anthropics-algorithmic-art". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
