Web artifacts builder skill

Web artifacts builder is part of Anthropic's skills repository. Its job is to build multi-component claude.ai artifacts with React, Tailwind and shadcn/ui. It loads on its own when a request matches its description, and you can also call it by name. It bundles shell scripts that the instructions call for.

When the agent reaches for it

The agent keeps every installed skill's description in view and loads the full instructions when a request matches. This is the description it reads:

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.
