-# p5.js Production Pipeline
-## When to use
-Use when users request: p5.js sketches, creative coding, generative art, interactive visualizations, canvas animations, browser-based visual art, data viz, shader effects, or any p5.js project.
-## What's inside
-Production pipeline for interactive and generative visual art using p5.js. Creates browser-based sketches, generative art, data visualizations, interactive experiences, 3D scenes, audio-reactive visuals, and motion graphics — exported as HTML, PNG, GIF, MP4, or SVG. Covers: 2D/3D rendering, noise and particle systems, flow fields, shaders (GLSL), pixel manipulation, kinetic typography, WebGL scenes, audio analysis, mouse/keyboard interaction, and headless high-res export.
-## Creative Standard
-This is visual art rendered in the browser. The canvas is the medium; the algorithm is the brush.
-**Before writing a single line of code**, articulate the creative concept. What does this piece communicate? What makes the viewer stop scrolling? What separates this from a code tutorial example? The user's prompt is a starting point — interpret it with creative ambition.
-**First-render excellence is non-negotiable.** The output must be visually striking on first load. If it looks like a p5.js tutorial exercise, a default configuration, or "AI-generated creative coding," it is wrong. Rethink before shipping.
-**Go beyond the reference vocabulary.** The noise functions, particle systems, color palettes, and shader effects in the references are a starting vocabulary. For every project, combine, layer, and invent. The catalog is a palette of paints — you write the painting.
-**Be proactively creative.** If the user asks for "a particle system," deliver a particle system with emergent flocking behavior, trailing ghost echoes, palette-shifted depth fog, and a background noise field that breathes. Include at least one visual detail the user didn't ask for but will appreciate.
-**Dense, layered, considered.** Every frame should reward viewing. Never flat white backgrounds. Always compositional hierarchy. Always intentional color. Always micro-detail that only appears on close inspection.
-**Cohesive aesthetic over feature count.** All elements must serve a unified visual language — shared color temperature, consistent stroke weight vocabulary, harmonious motion speeds. A sketch with ten unrelated effects is worse than one with three that belong together.
-## Modes

-## Stack
-Single self-contained HTML file per project. No build step required.
-| Layer | Tool | Purpose |
-|-------|------|---------|
-| Core | p5.js 1.11.3 (CDN) | Canvas rendering, math, transforms, event handling |
-| 3D | p5.js WebGL mode | 3D geometry, camera, lighting, GLSL shaders |
-| Audio | p5.sound.js (CDN) | FFT analysis, amplitude, mic input, oscillators |
-| Export | Built-in `saveCanvas()` / `saveGif()` / `saveFrames()` | PNG, GIF, frame sequence output |
-| Capture | CCapture.js (optional) | Deterministic framerate video capture (WebM, GIF) |
-| Headless | Puppeteer + Node.js (optional) | Automated high-res rendering, MP4 via ffmpeg |
-| SVG | p5.js-svg 1.6.0 (optional) | Vector output for print — requires p5.js 1.x |
-| Natural media | p5.brush (optional) | Watercolor, charcoal, pen — requires p5.js 2.x + WEBGL |

-| Fonts | Google Fonts / `loadFont()` | Custom typography via OTF/TTF/WOFF2 |
-### Version Note
-**p5.js 1.x** (1.11.3) is the default — stable, well-documented, broadest library compatibility. Use this unless a project requires 2.x features.
-**p5.js 2.x** (2.2+) adds: `async setup()` replacing `preload()`, OKLCH/OKLAB color modes, `splineVertex()`, shader `.modify()` API, variable fonts, `textToContours()`, pointer events. Required for p5.brush. See `references/core-api.md` § p5.js 2.0.
-## Pipeline
-Every project follows the same 6-stage path:
-```
-CONCEPT → DESIGN → CODE → PREVIEW → EXPORT → VERIFY
-```
-1. **CONCEPT** — Articulate the creative vision: mood, color world, motion vocabulary, what makes this unique
-2. **DESIGN** — Choose mode, canvas size, interaction model, color system, export format. Map concept to technical decisions
-3. **CODE** — Write single HTML file with inline p5.js. Structure: globals → `preload()` → `setup()` → `draw()` → helpers → classes → event handlers
-4. **PREVIEW** — Open in browser, verify visual quality. Test at target resolution. Check performance
-5. **EXPORT** — Capture output: `saveCanvas()` for PNG, `saveGif()` for GIF, `saveFrames()` + ffmpeg for MP4, Puppeteer for headless batch
-6. **VERIFY** — Does the output match the concept? Is it visually striking at the intended display size? Would you frame it?

-### Per-Project Variation Rules
-Never use default configurations. For every project:
-- **Custom color palette** — never raw `fill(255, 0, 0)`. Always a designed palette with 3-7 colors
-- **Custom stroke weight vocabulary** — thin accents (0.5), medium structure (1-2), bold emphasis (3-5)
-- **Background treatment** — never plain `background(0)` or `background(255)`. Always textured, gradient, or layered
-- **Motion variety** — different speeds for different elements. Primary at 1x, secondary at 0.3x, ambient at 0.1x
-- **At least one invented element** — a custom particle behavior, a novel noise application, a unique interaction response
-### Project-Specific Invention
-For every project, invent at least one of:
-- A custom color palette matching the mood (not a preset)
-- A novel noise field combination (e.g., curl noise + domain warp + feedback)
-- A unique particle behavior (custom forces, custom trails, custom spawning)
-- An interaction mechanic the user didn't request but that elevates the piece
-- A compositional technique that creates visual hierarchy
-### Parameter Design Philosophy
-Parameters should emerge from the algorithm, not from a generic menu. Ask: "What properties of *this* system should be tunable?"
-**Good parameters** expose the algorithm's character:
-- **Quantities** — how many particles, branches, cells (controls density)
-- **Scales** — noise frequency, element size, spacing (controls texture)
-- **Rates** — speed, growth rate, decay (controls energy)
-- **Thresholds** — when does behavior change? (controls drama)
-- **Ratios** — proportions, balance between forces (controls harmony)
-**Bad parameters** are generic controls unrelated to the algorithm:
-- "color1", "color2", "size" — meaningless without context
-- Toggle switches for unrelated effects
-- Parameters that only change cosmetics, not behavior
-Every parameter should change how the algorithm *thinks*, not just how it *looks*. A "turbulence" parameter that changes noise octaves is good. A "particle size" slider that only changes `ellipse()` radius is shallow.
-## Workflow
-### Step 1: Creative Vision
-Before any code, articulate:
-- **Mood / atmosphere**: What should the viewer feel? Contemplative? Energized? Unsettled? Playful?
-- **Visual story**: What happens over time (or on interaction)? Build? Decay? Transform? Oscillate?
-- **Color world**: Warm/cool? Monochrome? Complementary? What's the dominant hue? The accent?
-- **Shape language**: Organic curves? Sharp geometry? Dots? Lines? Mixed?
-- **Motion vocabulary**: Slow drift? Explosive burst? Breathing pulse? Mechanical precision?
-- **What makes THIS different**: What is the one thing that makes this sketch unique?
-Map the user's prompt to aesthetic choices. "Relaxing generative background" demands different everything from "glitch data visualization."
-### Step 2: Technical Design
-- **Mode** — which of the 7 modes from the table above
-- **Canvas size** — landscape 1920x1080, portrait 1080x1920, square 1080x1080, or responsive `windowWidth/windowHeight`
-- **Renderer** — `P2D` (default) or `WEBGL` (for 3D, shaders, advanced blend modes)
-- **Frame rate** — 60fps (interactive), 30fps (ambient animation), or `noLoop()` (static generative)
-- **Export target** — browser display, PNG still, GIF loop, MP4 video, SVG vector
-- **Interaction model** — passive (no input), mouse-driven, keyboard-driven, audio-reactive, scroll-driven
-- **Viewer UI** — for interactive generative art, start from `templates/viewer.html` which provides seed navigation, parameter sliders, and download. For simple sketches or video export, use bare HTML
-### Step 3: Code the Sketch
-For **interactive generative art** (seed exploration, parameter tuning): start from `templates/viewer.html`. Read the template first, keep the fixed sections (seed nav, actions), replace the algorithm and parameter controls. This gives the user seed prev/next/random/jump, parameter sliders with live update, and PNG download — all wired up.
-For **animations, video export, or simple sketches**: use bare HTML:
-Single HTML file. Structure:
-```html

-</script>
-</body>
-</html>
-```
-Key implementation patterns:
-- **Seeded randomness**: Always `randomSeed()` + `noiseSeed()` for reproducibility
-- **Color mode**: Use `colorMode(HSB, 360, 100, 100, 100)` for intuitive color control
-- **State separation**: CONFIG for parameters, PALETTE for colors, globals for mutable state
-- **Class-based entities**: Particles, agents, shapes as classes with `update()` + `display()` methods
-- **Offscreen buffers**: `createGraphics()` for layered composition, trails, masks
-### Step 4: Preview & Iterate
-- Open HTML file directly in browser — no server needed for basic sketches
-- For `loadImage()`/`loadFont()` from local files: use `scripts/serve.sh` or `python -m http.server`
-- Chrome DevTools Performance tab to verify 60fps
-- Test at target export resolution, not just the window size
-- Adjust parameters until the visual matches the concept from Step 1
-### Step 5: Export
-| Format | Method | Command |
-|--------|--------|---------|
-| **PNG** | `saveCanvas('output', 'png')` in `keyPressed()` | Press 's' to save |
-| **High-res PNG** | Puppeteer headless capture | `node scripts/export-frames.js sketch.html --width 3840 --height 2160 --frames 1` |
-| **GIF** | `saveGif('output', 5)` — captures N seconds | Press 'g' to save |
-| **Frame sequence** | `saveFrames('frame', 'png', 10, 30)` — 10s at 30fps | Then `ffmpeg -i frame-%04d.png -c:v libx264 output.mp4` |
-| **MP4** | Puppeteer frame capture + ffmpeg | `bash scripts/render.sh sketch.html output.mp4 --duration 30 --fps 30` |
-| **SVG** | `createCanvas(w, h, SVG)` with p5.js-svg | `save('output.svg')` |
-### Step 6: Quality Verification
-- **Does it match the vision?** Compare output to the creative concept. If it looks generic, go back to Step 1
-- **Resolution check**: Is it sharp at the target display size? No aliasing artifacts?
-- **Performance check**: Does it hold 60fps in browser? (30fps minimum for animations)
-- **Color check**: Do the colors work together? Test on both light and dark monitors
-- **Edge cases**: What happens at canvas edges? On resize? After running for 10 minutes?
-## Critical Implementation Notes
-### Performance — Disable FES First
-The Friendly Error System (FES) adds up to 10x overhead. Disable it in every production sketch:
-```javascript
-p5.disableFriendlyErrors = true;  // BEFORE setup()
-function setup() {
-  pixelDensity(1);  // prevent 2x-4x overdraw on retina
-  createCanvas(1920, 1080);
-}
-```
-In hot loops (particles, pixel ops), use `Math.*` instead of p5 wrappers — measurably faster:
-```javascript
-// In draw() or update() hot paths:
-let a = Math.sin(t);          // not sin(t)
-let r = Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy); // not dist() — or better: skip sqrt, compare magSq
-let v = Math.random();        // not random() — when seed not needed
-let m = Math.min(a, b);       // not min(a, b)
-```
-Never `console.log()` inside `draw()`. Never manipulate DOM in `draw()`. See `references/troubleshooting.md` § Performance.
-### Seeded Randomness — Always
-Every generative sketch must be reproducible. Same seed, same output.
-```javascript
-function setup() {
-  randomSeed(CONFIG.seed);
-  noiseSeed(CONFIG.seed);
-  // All random() and noise() calls now deterministic
-}
-```
-Never use `Math.random()` for generative content — only for performance-critical non-visual code. Always `random()` for visual elements. If you need a random seed: `CONFIG.seed = floor(random(99999))`.
-### Generative Art Platform Support (fxhash / Art Blocks)
-For generative art platforms, replace p5's PRNG with the platform's deterministic random:
-```javascript
-// fxhash convention
-const SEED = $fx.hash;              // unique per mint
-const rng = $fx.rand;               // deterministic PRNG
-$fx.features({ palette: 'warm', complexity: 'high' });
-// In setup():
-randomSeed(SEED);   // for p5's noise()
-noiseSeed(SEED);
-// Replace random() with rng() for platform determinism
-let x = rng() * width;  // instead of random(width)
-```
-See `references/export-pipeline.md` § Platform Export.
-### Color Mode — Use HSB
-HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is dramatically easier to work with than RGB for generative art:
-```javascript
-colorMode(HSB, 360, 100, 100, 100);
-// Now: fill(hue, sat, bri, alpha)
-// Rotate hue: fill((baseHue + offset) % 360, 80, 90)
-// Desaturate: fill(hue, sat * 0.3, bri)
-// Darken: fill(hue, sat, bri * 0.5)
-```
-Never hardcode raw RGB values. Define a palette object, derive variations procedurally. See `references/color-systems.md`.
-### Noise — Multi-Octave, Not Raw
-Raw `noise(x, y)` looks like smooth blobs. Layer octaves for natural texture:
-```javascript
-function fbm(x, y, octaves = 4) {
-  let val = 0, amp = 1, freq = 1, sum = 0;
-  for (let i = 0; i < octaves; i++) {
-    val += noise(x * freq, y * freq) * amp;
-    sum += amp;
-    amp *= 0.5;
-    freq *= 2;
-  }
-  return val / sum;
-}
-```
-For flowing organic forms, use **domain warping**: feed noise output back as noise input coordinates. See `references/visual-effects.md`.
-### createGraphics() for Layers — Not Optional
-Flat single-pass rendering looks flat. Use offscreen buffers for composition:
-```javascript
-let bgLayer, fgLayer, trailLayer;
-function setup() {
-  createCanvas(1920, 1080);
-  bgLayer = createGraphics(width, height);
-  fgLayer = createGraphics(width, height);
-  trailLayer = createGraphics(width, height);
-}
-function draw() {
-  renderBackground(bgLayer);
-  renderTrails(trailLayer);   // persistent, fading
-  renderForeground(fgLayer);  // cleared each frame
-  image(bgLayer, 0, 0);
-  image(trailLayer, 0, 0);
-  image(fgLayer, 0, 0);
-}
-```
-### Performance — Vectorize Where Possible
-p5.js draw calls are expensive. For thousands of particles:
-```javascript
-// SLOW: individual shapes
-for (let p of particles) {
-  ellipse(p.x, p.y, p.size);
-}
-// FAST: single shape with beginShape()
-beginShape(POINTS);
-for (let p of particles) {
-  vertex(p.x, p.y);
-}
-endShape();
-// FASTEST: pixel buffer for massive counts
-loadPixels();
-for (let p of particles) {
-  let idx = 4 * (floor(p.y) * width + floor(p.x));
-  pixels[idx] = r; pixels[idx+1] = g; pixels[idx+2] = b; pixels[idx+3] = 255;
-}
-updatePixels();
-```
-See `references/troubleshooting.md` § Performance.
-### Instance Mode for Multiple Sketches
-Global mode pollutes `window`. For production, use instance mode:
-```javascript
-const sketch = (p) => {
-  p.setup = function() {
-    p.createCanvas(800, 800);
-  };
-  p.draw = function() {
-    p.background(0);
-    p.ellipse(p.mouseX, p.mouseY, 50);
-  };
-};
-new p5(sketch, 'canvas-container');
-```
-Required when embedding multiple sketches on one page or integrating with frameworks.
-### WebGL Mode Gotchas
-- `createCanvas(w, h, WEBGL)` — origin is center, not top-left
-- Y-axis is inverted (positive Y goes up in WEBGL, down in P2D)
-- `translate(-width/2, -height/2)` to get P2D-like coordinates
-- `push()`/`pop()` around every transform — matrix stack overflows silently
-- `texture()` before `rect()`/`plane()` — not after
-- Custom shaders: `createShader(vert, frag)` — test on multiple browsers
-### Export — Key Bindings Convention
-Every sketch should include these in `keyPressed()`:
-```javascript
-function keyPressed() {
-  if (key === 's' || key === 'S') saveCanvas('output', 'png');
-  if (key === 'g' || key === 'G') saveGif('output', 5);
-  if (key === 'r' || key === 'R') { randomSeed(millis()); noiseSeed(millis()); }
-  if (key === ' ') CONFIG.paused = !CONFIG.paused;
-}
-```
-### Headless Video Export — Use noLoop()
-For headless rendering via Puppeteer, the sketch **must** use `noLoop()` in setup. Without it, p5's draw loop runs freely while screenshots are slow — the sketch races ahead and you get skipped/duplicate frames.
-```javascript
-function setup() {
-  createCanvas(1920, 1080);
-  pixelDensity(1);
-  noLoop();                    // capture script controls frame advance
-  window._p5Ready = true;      // signal readiness to capture script
-}
-```
-The bundled `scripts/export-frames.js` detects `_p5Ready` and calls `redraw()` once per capture for exact 1:1 frame correspondence. See `references/export-pipeline.md` § Deterministic Capture.
-For multi-scene videos, use the per-clip architecture: one HTML per scene, render independently, stitch with `ffmpeg -f concat`. See `references/export-pipeline.md` § Per-Clip Architecture.
-### Agent Workflow
-When building p5.js sketches:
-1. **Write the HTML file** — single self-contained file, all code inline
-2. **Open in browser** — `open sketch.html` (macOS) or `xdg-open sketch.html` (Linux)
-3. **Local assets** (fonts, images) require a server: `python -m http.server 8080` in the project directory, then open `http://localhost:8080/sketch.html`
-4. **Export PNG/GIF** — add `keyPressed()` shortcuts as shown above, tell the user which key to press
-5. **Headless export** — `node scripts/export-frames.js sketch.html --frames 300` for automated frame capture (sketch must use `noLoop()` + `_p5Ready`)
-6. **MP4 rendering** — `bash scripts/render.sh sketch.html output.mp4 --duration 30`
-7. **Iterative refinement** — edit the HTML file, user refreshes browser to see changes
-8. **Load references on demand** — use `skill_view(name="p5js", file_path="references/...")` to load specific reference files as needed during implementation

-## Creative Divergence (use only when user requests experimental/creative/unique output)
-If the user asks for creative, experimental, surprising, or unconventional output, select the strategy that best fits and reason through its steps BEFORE generating code.
-- **Conceptual Blending** — when the user names two things to combine or wants hybrid aesthetics
-- **SCAMPER** — when the user wants a twist on a known generative art pattern
-- **Distance Association** — when the user gives a single concept and wants exploration ("make something about time")
-### Conceptual Blending
-1. Name two distinct visual systems (e.g., particle physics + handwriting)
-2. Map correspondences (particles = ink drops, forces = pen pressure, fields = letterforms)
-3. Blend selectively — keep mappings that produce interesting emergent visuals
-4. Code the blend as a unified system, not two systems side-by-side
-### SCAMPER Transformation
-Take a known generative pattern (flow field, particle system, L-system, cellular automata) and systematically transform it:
-- **Substitute**: replace circles with text characters, lines with gradients
-- **Combine**: merge two patterns (flow field + voronoi)
-- **Adapt**: apply a 2D pattern to a 3D projection
-- **Modify**: exaggerate scale, warp the coordinate space
-- **Purpose**: use a physics sim for typography, a sorting algorithm for color
-- **Eliminate**: remove the grid, remove color, remove symmetry
-- **Reverse**: run the simulation backward, invert the parameter space
-### Distance Association
-1. Anchor on the user's concept (e.g., "loneliness")
-2. Generate associations at three distances:
-   - Close (obvious): empty room, single figure, silence
-   - Medium (interesting): one fish in a school swimming the wrong way, a phone with no notifications, the gap between subway cars
-   - Far (abstract): prime numbers, asymptotic curves, the color of 3am
-3. Develop the medium-distance associations — they're specific enough to visualize but unexpected enough to be interesting
