artifacts-builder

artifacts-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from walidboulanouar/Ay-Skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (874 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for building complex HTML interfaces in Claude, using React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create multi-part interactive artifacts with state management, navigation, or shadcn/ui components.
Why use it?
It helps when a web artifact needs several parts, saved state, or multiple screens instead of one simple file.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/init-artifact.sh 008_Builds/artifacts/{YYYY-MM-DD}-<project-name>.

Good fit Use it to create multi-part interactive artifacts with state management, navigation, or shadcn/ui components.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

artifacts-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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.

Output Path

All artifacts and apps should be built in 008_Builds/:

Type Path
Interactive artifact 008_Builds/artifacts/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{name}/
Landing page 008_Builds/landing-pages/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{name}/
Full app 008_Builds/apps/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{name}/
Prototype / experiment 008_Builds/prototypes/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{name}/
Internal tool 008_Builds/tools/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{name}/

After building, update 008_Builds/README.md index table.

Quick Start

Step 1: Initialize Project

Run the initialization script to create a new React project in 008_Builds/:

bash scripts/init-artifact.sh 008_Builds/artifacts/{YYYY-MM-DD}-<project-name>
cd 008_Builds/artifacts/{YYYY-MM-DD}-<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)

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:

bash scripts/bundle-artifact.sh

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
