The art of illusion. Cast motion. Paint signatures.

Latest release MIT license Documentation

Creative coding skills for Claude Code and claude.ai - transforms any interface from functional to exceptional through motion design, interaction patterns, and visual systems. Covers Web (React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla CSS, Three.js, Canvas), Android (Jetpack Compose, Compose Multiplatform), and Apple (SwiftUI iOS + macOS).

v3.0 - rebrand: this plugin used to be called creative-excellence. The skills /creative-excellence:creative-excellence and /creative-excellence:design-excellence are now /genjutsu:cast and /genjutsu:paint. See CHANGELOG.md for the migration steps if you had v2.x installed.


Documentation

genjutsu.athevon.dev is built with genjutsu itself. The ink on it is painted by your own scroll, and every mark is drawn in code, no image assets.

Page What is in it
Overview What genjutsu is, how the pieces fit, the shortest path to seeing something move
Install Both surfaces, verifying the install, updating, uninstalling
cast The seven-stage pipeline, its two validation gates, how to write a good request
paint The five phases, the two theses, what lands in your repo
Modules All fifteen, by family: foundations, web, Apple, Android
Principles The rules the skills enforce, and why each one exists
FAQ Plans, dependencies, cast against paint, what to check when output feels generic

Skills

/genjutsu:cast - The Illusionist

Takes any creative request and makes it exceptional. Adapts to your stack and scope.

Pipeline: Scan stack -> Evaluate scope -> Propose interaction thesis -> Load sub-skills -> Implement -> Mini-audit

  • Detects your dependencies automatically across web (GSAP, Framer Motion, Three.js, CSS), Android (Jetpack Compose, Compose Multiplatform) and Apple (SwiftUI iOS / macOS)
  • Proposes an interaction thesis before writing a single line of code
  • Scales from a single hover effect to a full scroll-driven page or a Compose SharedTransitionLayout flow
  • Runs a quick audit on exit: reduced-motion, exit animations, recomposition, hitches, layout performance

/genjutsu:paint - The Master Painter

Builds a complete visual universe from scratch. Brainstorm first, implement second.

Pipeline: Brainstorm -> Define visual + interaction thesis -> Generate design system -> Implement -> Full audit

  • Mandatory creative direction session before any code
  • Generates a persistent stack-aware MASTER.md design system (Tailwind/CSS for web, Theme.kt for Compose, Color+App.swift for SwiftUI, commonMain for CMP)
  • Full audit at the end: motion gaps, accessibility, color consistency, responsive, performance, native hitches
  • Optional MCP integration (Stitch, Nano Banana, 21st.dev Magic)

Installation

The short version is on the site: genjutsu.athevon.dev/docs/install. The long version, including partial installs, is below.

claude.ai (web/app)

Prerequisites: Plan Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise with "Code execution" enabled.

Option A - single bundle (recommended):

One upload, everything included (router + cast + paint + all sub-skills).

  1. Download genjutsu.zip. That link always serves the newest release, so it never goes stale.
  2. On claude.ai, go to Customize > Skills > Upload skill and upload genjutsu.zip.
  3. Enable the toggle. Done - one skill, both cast and paint pipelines, all sub-skills bundled.

Want to confirm it mounted correctly? Follow the 2-minute smoke test in docs/claude-ai-testing.md.

How it shows up. The bundle installs as a single skill named genjutsu. In a normal chat it appears as one entry - invoke /genjutsu (or just describe your task) and it routes to the cast or paint pipeline internally. Surfaces that expose skills as individual commands (e.g. a code workspace) show /cast and /paint directly. Either way the pipelines need code execution enabled to load their sub-skills. Prefer /cast and /paint as separate entries everywhere? Use Option B.

Option B - individual skills:

Prefer separate skills, or only part of the stack? Upload the individual ZIPs (one per skill). Baseline for everyone: cast, paint, motion-principles, design-audit, ui-ux-pro-max. Then add per stack:

Your stack ZIPs to upload (in addition to baseline)
Web only mobile-principles, desktop-principles, gsap, framer-motion, css-native, threejs-r3f, canvas-generative
Android Compose only mobile-principles, compose-motion, compose-graphics
iOS SwiftUI only mobile-principles, swiftui-motion, swiftui-graphics
macOS SwiftUI only desktop-principles, swiftui-motion, swiftui-graphics
Multi-target Apple (iOS + macOS) mobile-principles, desktop-principles, swiftui-motion, swiftui-graphics
Compose Multiplatform mobile-principles, compose-motion, compose-graphics, compose-multiplatform, swiftui-motion (if iOS target)

Build from source:

git clone https://github.com/AThevon/genjutsu.git
cd genjutsu
./package-for-claude-ai.sh
# dist/ has genjutsu.zip (the bundle) + 17 individual skill ZIPs

Claude Code (CLI)

Two slash commands, typed inside a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add AThevon/genjutsu
/plugin install genjutsu

Then run /genjutsu:cast or /genjutsu:paint. You can pass the request on the same line: /genjutsu:cast make the pricing cards feel physical on hover.

The marketplace also accepts the full git URL if you prefer it: /plugin marketplace add git@github.com:AThevon/genjutsu.git.

Or as a git submodule in your dotfiles:

git submodule add git@github.com:AThevon/genjutsu.git claude/plugins/genjutsu
ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/claude/plugins/genjutsu ~/.claude/plugins/genjutsu

Orchestrators detect the environment at runtime (Claude Code plugin directory or claude.ai /mnt/skills/user/) and pick what to load based on the SCAN phase. Sub-skills in _jutsu/ are loaded by orchestrator according to detected stack and selected scope - mobile-principles and desktop-principles are auto-loaded when context matches (touch target vs pointer/keyboard target). The underscore prefix keeps sub-skills internal so they never get invoked directly.


Voice

The skills speak in two registers:

  • During execution: light ninja flair, short, signature ("Casting parallax on hero scroll.", "Brushing the color palette.")
  • In reports / final summaries / audits: plain, factual, dev-readable. No mystic prose, no metaphors. Just what changed, files touched, next step.
