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.

The Artifacts Builder provides a structured approach to building sophisticated web artifacts:
Initialize → Develop → Bundle → Share
- React 18 - Modern UI library
- TypeScript - Type-safe development
- Vite - Lightning-fast build tool
- Parcel - Zero-config bundler
- Tailwind CSS - Utility-first CSS framework
- shadcn/ui - 40+ pre-installed components
Initialize a new artifact project
bash scripts/init-artifact.sh <project-name>
Creates a preconfigured React environment with all dependencies ready.
Bundle to single HTML file
bash scripts/bundle-artifact.sh
Compiles everything into a single self-contained HTML file ready to share.
- React + TypeScript (via Vite)
- Tailwind CSS 3.4.1 with shadcn/ui theming system
- Path aliases (
@/) configured - 40+ shadcn/ui components pre-installed
Avoid "AI slop" by steering clear of:
- Excessive centered layouts
- Purple gradients everywhere
- Uniform rounded corners
- Overuse of Inter font styling
- Use for complex artifacts requiring state management or routing
- Test after artifact presentation to minimize latency (unless issues emerge)
- Leverage shadcn/ui components for consistent, professional UI
- Focus on creating polished, production-ready artifacts
