artifacts-builder
Suite of tools for creating elaborate, multi-component claude.ai HTML artifacts using modern frontend web technologies (React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui). Use for complex artifacts requiring state management, routing, or shadcn/ui components - not for simple single-file HTML/JSX artifacts.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for initializing and bundling complex React artifacts that are not commonly found in public documentation.

What this skill does
Artifacts Builder To build powerful frontend claude.ai artifacts, follow these steps: 1. Initialize the frontend repo using scripts/init-artifact.sh 2. Develop your artifact by editing the generated code 3. Bundle all code into a single HTML file using scripts/bundle-artifact.sh 4. Display artifact to user 5. (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: 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) Step 2: Develop Your Artifact To build the artifact, edit the generated files. See Common Development Tasks below for guidance. Step 3: Bundle to Single HTML File To bundle the React app into a single HTML artifact: This creates bundle.html - a self-contained artifact with all JavaScript, CSS, and dependencies inlined. This file can be directly shared in Claude conversations as an artifact. Requirements: Your project must have an index.html in the root directory. What the script does: Installs bundling dependencies (parcel, @parcel/config-default, parcel-resolver-tspaths, html-inline) Creates .parcelrc config with path alias support Builds with Parcel (no source maps) Inlines all assets into single HTML using html-inline Step 4: Share Artifact with User Finally, share the bundled HTML file in conversation with the user so they can view it as an artifact. …
