skills/artifacts-builder/SKILL.md
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.

To build powerful frontend claude.ai artifacts, follow these steps:
scripts/init-artifact.shscripts/bundle-artifact.shStack: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Parcel (bundling) + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
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.
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:
@/) configuredTo build the artifact, edit the generated files. See Common Development Tasks below for guidance.
To bundle the React app into a single HTML artifact:
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:
.parcelrc config with path alias supportFinally, share the bundled HTML file in conversation with the user so they can view it as an artifact.
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.

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.

Three-step Linear update protocol after job completion - update child issue, check parent completion, update parent if all children done
testing
This skill should be used whenever users need help planning trips, creating travel itineraries, managing travel budgets, or seeking destination advice. On first use, collects comprehensive travel preferences including budget level, travel style, interests, and dietary restrictions. Generates detailed travel plans with day-by-day itineraries, budget breakdowns, packing checklists, cultural do's and don'ts, and region-specific schedules. Maintains database of preferences and past trips for personalized recommendations.
tools
Proactive token budget assessment and task chunking strategy. Use this skill when queries involve multiple large file uploads, requests for comprehensive multi-document analysis, complex multi-step workflows with heavy research (10+ tool calls), phrases like "complete analysis", "full audit", "thorough review", "deep dive", or tasks combining extensive research with large output artifacts. This skill helps assess token consumption risk early and recommend chunking strategies before beginning work.
