Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/skills at dbd4588f9e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The algorithmic-art skill enables AI agents to generate visual art using algorithmic techniques, such as procedural generation and mathematical patterns. It supports creating dynamic, rule-based artwork that can evolve or respond to input parameters.

When to use it

  • To create generative visuals for digital installations or interactive exhibits.
  • For designing unique textures or backgrounds in web or game development.
  • When experimenting with artistic styles based on mathematical principles like fractals or cellular automata.

Key capabilities

  • Procedural generation of visual patterns
  • Support for rule-based and parameter-driven art creation
  • Integration with frontend tools for real-time rendering

Example prompts

  • "Generate a fractal pattern using the Mandelbrot set."
  • "Create an animated cellular automaton artwork that evolves over time."
  • "Design a procedural texture for a game environment based on Perlin noise."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your frontend environment supports WebGL or canvas rendering for optimal performance.
  • Some complex algorithms may require fine-tuning parameters to achieve desired visual results.
