Builds complex multi-component HTML artifacts with React and shadcn/ui.

  • Creates elaborate artifacts requiring state management or routing.
  • Depends on React, TypeScript, Vite, Parcel, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.
  • Initializes project via script, then bundles into single HTML file.
  • Outputs a bundled HTML artifact ready for display in claude.ai.

description: 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.

# 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
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 single HTML artifact:
```bash
bash scripts/bundle-artifact.sh
```

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.

### Step 5: Testing/Visualizing the Artifact (Optional)

Note: This is a completely optional step. Only perform if necessary or requested.

To test/visualize the artifact, use available tools (including other Skills or built-in tools like Playwright or Puppeteer). In general, avoid testing the artifact upfront as it adds latency between the request and when the finished artifact can be seen. Test later, after presenting the artifact, if requested or if issues arise.

SkillDescription
add-providerAdd a DeepChat LLM provider through explicit reviewed source changes. Use when a developer asks Codex to add a provider, provider profile, upstream provider config, model catalog mapping, provider auth behavior, or a special provider adapter in this repository.
algorithmic-artCreating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
computer-useDrive native desktop apps through DeepChat's built-in Computer Use tools. Use when the user asks to operate, inspect, automate, or perform a GUI task in a real desktop application.
cua-driverDrive a native macOS app via the cua-driver MCP server or CLI — snapshot its AX tree, click/type/scroll by element_index, verify via re-snapshot. Use when the user asks you to operate, drive, automate, or perform a GUI task in a real macOS application on the host (e.g. "open a file in TextEdit", "navigate to /Applications in Finder", "click the Save button in Numbers").
deepchat-data-importHelp developers build third-party tools that import, inspect, migrate, or analyze DeepChat data. Use when Codex needs to work with DeepChat provider configuration, model configuration, MCP/app settings, sessions, messages, legacy chat data, `agent.db`, `chat.db`, SQLCipher encrypted SQLite, Electron safeStorage wrapped passwords, Tauri importers, or native macOS/Windows/Linux data access.
deepchat-releasePrepare and publish DeepChat releases in this repository. Use when Codex needs to bump the app version, update CHANGELOG.md, keep release notes bilingual from v1.0.1 onward with English bullets first and Chinese bullets second, run release checks, create or update versioned release branches such as release/v1.0.1, continue a half-finished release, fast-forward main with the documented release flow, create or push version tags, or clean up release branches after publishing.
deepchat-sddUse before substantial DeepChat code, configuration, documentation, test, build, feature, issue, refactor, or architecture changes that need a durable spec. Skip trivial style fixes, small localized logic changes, routine docs edits, and simple bugs unless the developer asks for SDD. Classify substantial work into feature SDD, complex-bug issue spec, or architecture SDD; ask before optional GitHub issue sync unless the developer explicitly requested sync.
deepchat-sdd-cleanupUse only when a developer explicitly asks to clean, prune, tidy, or organize DeepChat SDD documentation after implementation and validation. Scans docs/features, docs/issues, and docs/architecture; prefers multi-agent review when available; removes completed issue docs tied to closed GitHub issues, drops stale plan/tasks files from completed feature or architecture goals, and deletes obsolete feature or architecture docs.
deepchat-settingsDeepChat app settings modification (DeepChat 设置/偏好) skill. Activate ONLY when the user explicitly asks to change DeepChat's own settings/preferences (e.g., theme, language, font size...). Do NOT activate for OS/system settings, editor settings, or other apps.
doc-coauthoringGuide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
