Overview
algorithmic-art is an open-source integrations skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by ThinkInAIXYZ. Its author describes it as: “Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems…”. The project has 6.2k stars on GitHub and is available under the Apache-2.0 license. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat ~/.claude/skills/algorithmic-art`.
What algorithmic-art does
Algorithmic philosophies are computational aesthetic movements that are then expressed through code. Output .md files (philosophy), .html files (interactive viewer), and .js files (generative algorithms).

Installation
Add algorithmic-art to your agent with:
git clone https://github.com/ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat ~/.claude/skills/algorithmic-artReview a skill’s source before installing it — skills can instruct your agent to run commands. This command comes from the skill’s public repository, which is the source of truth for setup steps. New to skills? Read how to install Claude Code skills.
Supported agents
Neither the skill nor its repository names a specific agent. It uses the SKILL.md format, which several agents can load — check the repository for any agent-specific requirements.

Frequently asked questions
- What does algorithmic-art do?
- Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
- How do I install algorithmic-art?
- Run git clone https://github.com/ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat ~/.claude/skills/algorithmic-art in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat before installing.
- Is algorithmic-art free to use?
- Yes. algorithmic-art is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license, so you can read, run, and adapt it within that license's terms.
- Where does algorithmic-art come from?
- algorithmic-art ships inside ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat, a repository that contains 25 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 6,228 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
