# Web 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:

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)

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 singl

Frequently asked

What does the Web Artifacts Builder skill do?

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.

Who should use it?

Anyone working with Claude on development-related tasks — consultants, founders, product teams, operators, and AI users who want repeatable, high-quality outputs from Claude.

How does it work?

Drop the folder into your `~/.claude/skills/` directory. Claude detects the SKILL.md instructions automatically and applies them when relevant.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the need to re-prompt Claude with the same context every time. Once the skill is installed, Claude already knows the rules, conventions, and procedures for this task.

How do I install it?

Download the ZIP, unzip it, and place the `web-artifacts-builder/` folder inside `~/.claude/skills/`. No other setup required.

Is it free?

Yes — free download. We just ask for your name and work email so we can send useful Claude updates.

Can I get a custom version?

Yes. Abbas ElDeniney builds tailored Claude skills for specific business workflows and data sources. Book a consultation to scope your version.
