Geometric Elements Generator
Create decorative geometric elements with code using Pixie-python.
Quick Start
# Install dependency (first time only)
pip install pixie-python
# Generate element (ask user for brand color or check their brand guidelines)
python .claude/skills/geometric-elements/scripts/generate.py corner-accent \
--color "#HEX_COLOR" \
--size 200 \
--output media/output/corner.png
Important: Always ask user for brand colors or check their brand guidelines skill (e.g., /thepexcel-brand-guidelines) before generating.

python scripts/generate.py shape --style star --color "#HEX" --size 100 --sides 5 --fill
# Available: circle, ellipse, rectangle, square, rounded-rect, triangle,
# polygon, star, diamond, ring, cross, arrow, heart, hexagon, octagon, crescent

Custom Elements (On-the-fly)
For complex patterns not in predefined commands, write Python directly:
import pixie
import math
image = pixie.Image(400, 400)
paint = pixie.Paint(pixie.SOLID_PAINT)
paint.color = pixie.Color(0.83, 0.66, 0.29, 1.0) # RGB 0-1 range
ctx = image.new_context()
ctx.stroke_style = paint
ctx.line_width = 2
ctx.stroke_segment(50, 50, 350, 350)
image.write_file("output.png")

From Reference Image
User can send reference images for Claude to analyze and recreate:
- User sends image — screenshot, design reference, pattern
- Claude analyzes — identifies shapes, colors, proportions
- Claude writes code — using pixie-python API
- Output — PNG ready to use
Tips for good reference: Clear image, geometric patterns (not photos), specify hex colors if needed.
Tips
- Transparent bg — All outputs have transparent background by default
- High DPI — Use
--size2x for retina displays - Gradients — Combine
--gradient linearwith--colorand--color2 - Brand colors — Always confirm with user or their brand guidelines first
