Claude Skill Upload

From this page you can upload the MicroSim skill from our MicroSim GitHub web site:

https://github.com/dmccreary/microsims/blob/main/skills/microsim-p5.zip

Step 2: Generating an New MicroSim Using the Skill

To run this skill you just need to mention it in your prompt:

Prompt

Using the microsim.p5 skill, create a new MicroSim that does X.

This will generate a zip file you can download to your local computer.

Step 3: Download and Test the MicroSim using the p5.js Editor

Next, you can click the "Download" button next to the generated file. Unzip this file using the tools on your desktop or use the command line tool unzip:

1
unzip MicroSim.zip

Step 4: Installing the MicroSim Package

We have created a MiroSim Skill that you can use to generate p5 MicroSims. This skill will generate a MicroSim "package" which is a zip file. The zip file contains the following items:

  1. an index.md file with an 'iframe' reference and descriptive details about the MicroSim
  2. a main.html file that will run the MicroSim
  3. a JavaScript file
  4. a metadata.json file to store information about the MicroSim

You can then unzip this package in the /docs/sims folder, edit the mkdocs.yml file and you are ready to test your MicroSim.

The javascript file is designed to work with the p5.js editor for easy testing and modification.
