# Claude's imagined TikTok feed

> A 47-second vertical animation of Claude's For You page: paper-cut scenes of a chick hatching, a strawberry counting its r's and ducks being sorted, inside TikTok's interface. Claude Opus 5.5 wrote its own drawing code instead of the suggested p5.js.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this video

These are the creator's published instructions, unedited.

To adapt it: Replace "TikTok feed" with another app or place, such as an inbox or a group chat, and keep "what its ... looked like" so it imagines its own.

## Prompt

```text
make an animation of what its TikTok feed looked like
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

Paper-cut scenes with torn edges and fabric textures, played inside a TikTok-style For You feed, bookended by an orange starburst character in bed at night.

- Color: Deep indigo night scenes with lavender curtains and a patchwork quilt, then a bright feed of mint green, strawberry pink and gingham red, mustard yellow, navy and peach.
- Type: Feed interface text (Following, For You, handles, captions, like counts) in a clean sans, and handwritten-style bubbles such as "just one video...", "hello, world!" and "ok i need to learn this".
- Framing: Vertical 9:16. Each post fills the screen behind the TikTok sidebar of icons and the bottom navigation bar, with one cut-paper subject in the center.
- Structure: At 3:07 am the character opens the app; posts follow (matching brackets, a strawberry counting its r's, dancing braces, a cat with a laptop, an npm test grid, a chick hatching to "hello, world!"); at 5:58 the character startles, and the film ends on a night street and the card "claude's for you page".

## How it was made, per the creator

- Notes: The creator suggested p5.js, but the model wrote its own "paper code". The creator also gave it a frame from another viral animation as a reference.
