Artifacts Builder
Reach for artifacts-builder when a claude.ai artifact needs real structure: multiple components, shared state, routing, or shadcn/ui pieces. It scaffolds a React 18, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind project with 40-plus shadcn components already wired up, then bundles everything into one self-contained HTML file you can drop into a conversation. For a quick single-file widget it's overkill, and the skill itself says as much. The honest catch is the pipeline: init, edit, bundle, share means a fair amount of ceremony compared to just writing a JSX file. The bundling step also depends on Parcel and an index.html at the project root, so it's worth checking that toolchain works on your machine before you invest in a larger build.

Artifacts Builder
To build powerful frontend claude.ai artifacts, follow these steps:
- Initialize the frontend repo using
scripts/init-artifact.sh - Develop your artifact by editing the generated code
- Bundle all code into a single HTML file using
scripts/bundle-artifact.sh - Display artifact to user
- (Optional) Test the artifact
Stack: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Parcel (bundling) + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
Design & Style Guidelines
VERY IMPORTANT: To avoid what is often referred to as "AI slop", avoid using excessive centered layouts, purple gradients, uniform rounded corners, and Inter font.
Quick Start
Step 1: Initialize Project
Run the initialization script to create a new React project:
bash scripts/init-artifact.sh <project-name>
cd <project-name>
This creates a fully configured project with:
- ✅ React + TypeScript (via Vite)
- ✅ Tailwind CSS 3.4.1 with shadcn/ui theming system
- ✅ Path aliases (
@/) configured - ✅ 40+ shadcn/ui components pre-installed
- ✅ All Radix UI dependencies included
- ✅ Parcel configured for bundling (via .parcelrc)
- ✅ Node 18+ compatibility (auto-detects and pins Vite version)
