Design vs Docs & Writing · both proven

algorithmic-art vs changelog-generator

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work. They are in different categories, so this is a choice of job, not a head-to-head on the same job.

algorithmic-art

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.

Brief: “Make a generative art piece called Tidewater: a single HTML page with a full-window canvas that draws slow, layered flow-field lines in a deep sea palette, seeded so the same seed always gives the same picture. Include a small control panel to change the seed, the line density and the palette, and a button to save the current frame as a PNG. Use p5.js from a CDN.”

changelog-generator

Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.

Brief: “Turn these git commits into a user-facing changelog page for version 2.4.0 of Ledgerly, a small-business invoicing app, as a single HTML page.
