explore-variations
MCP prompt for exploring parameter and seed variations of an existing sketch
explore-variations
Structured prompt template that guides an AI agent through exploring variations of an existing sketch by adjusting parameters and seeds.
Arguments
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sketchId | string | yes | ID of the sketch to explore variations of |
strategy | string | no | Variation strategy: random, systematic, gradient |
count | number | no | Number of variations to generate |
Strategies
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
random | Randomize all parameters and seed for each variation |
systematic | Vary one parameter at a time across its range |
gradient | Gradually shift parameters in a direction |
Behavior
The prompt guides the agent through:
- Read the source sketch — get current parameters, seed, and algorithm
- Fork variations — create copies with modified parameters/seeds
- Arrange on canvas — lay out variations in a grid for visual comparison
- Capture thumbnails — render all variations for side-by-side review
Example usage
Use the explore-variations prompt with:
sketchId: "spiral-particles"
strategy: "systematic"
count: 6Output
The prompt guides the agent to use MCP tools in sequence:
get_selectionoropen_sketch— load the source sketchfork_sketch— create N copies with parameter/seed changesset_parameters/set_seed— adjust each variationauto_arrange— lay out variations in a gridcapture_batch— render thumbnails for comparison
