Live Artifact

This creates HTML artifacts backed by live data that can be refreshed later without rebuilding the whole thing. You get a template, a data file, and provenance tracking, and the daemon hydrates the preview for you. It's built for dashboards, reports, or any view where the presentation stays stable but the data needs to update from connectors like Notion or GitHub, or from local project files. The workflow keeps credentials out of persisted JSON and uses wrapper commands instead of raw API calls. If someone asks for a "live dashboard" or mentions refresh, this fires. If they just want a static mockup, skip it. The key idea is separation: design once, refresh the data layer as needed.

Current status

Use the references in this directory as the source of truth for the live artifact file contract. Prefer daemon wrapper commands over raw HTTP when registering or updating live artifacts.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks for a data-backed view that should remain useful after the first render, for example a live dashboard, refreshable report, synced status page, auditable data view, or artifact that can later be refreshed from local/project data or connectors.
