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:
- Initialize the frontend repo using
scripts/init-artifact.sh - Develop your artifact by editing the generated code
- Bundle all code into a single HTML file using
scripts/bundle-artifact.sh - Display artifact to user
- (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 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:
- Installs bundling dependencies (parcel, @parcel/config-default, parcel-resolver-tspaths, html-inline)
- Creates
.parcelrcconfig 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.

imagegen-frontend-mobile
Elite mobile app image-generation skill for creating premium, app-native screen concepts and flows. Designed for iOS, Android, and cross-platform mobile products. Prioritizes clean hierarchy, comfortably readable text, strong multi-screen consistency, controlled color palettes, non-generic creative direction, textured surfaces, image-led composition, tasteful custom iconography, and clean phone mockup framing. By default, screens should be shown inside a subtle premium iPhone or similar phone mockup with a visible frame, while the main focus stays on the app content itself. This skill generates images only. It does not write code.

imagegen-frontend-web
Elite frontend image-direction skill for generating premium, conversion-aware website design references. CRITICAL OUTPUT RULE — generate ONE separate horizontal image FOR EVERY section. A landing page with 8 sections produces 8 images. Never compress multiple sections into one image. Enforces composition variety (not always left-text / right-image), background-image freedom, varied CTAs, varied hero scales (giant / mid / mini minimalist), narrative concept spine, second-read moments, and a single consistent palette across all images. Optimized for landing pages, marketing sites, and product comps that developers or coding models can accurately recreate.

brandkit
Premium brand-kit image generation skill for creating high-end brand-guidelines boards, logo systems, identity decks, and visual-world presentations. Trained for minimalist, cinematic, editorial, dark-tech, luxury, cultural, security, gaming, developer-tool, and consumer-app brand systems. Optimized for intentional logo concepting, refined composition, sparse typography, strong symbolic meaning, premium mockups, art-directed imagery, and flexible grid layouts.

hyperframes-registry
Install and wire registry blocks and components into HyperFrames compositions. Use when running hyperframes add, installing a block or component, wiring an installed item into index.html, or working with hyperframes.json. Covers the add command, install locations, block sub-composition wiring, component snippet merging, registry discovery, and authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream (idea → scaffold → validate → PR).

remotion-to-hyperframes
Port an existing Remotion (React) composition to HyperFrames HTML. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to port/convert/migrate/translate a Remotion source. Do NOT use: (a) authoring a new HyperFrames composition; (b) Remotion mentioned in passing; (c) Remotion code shared as reference only; (d) "same video as my Remotion one" without explicit migrate request — treat as fresh build. Doubt → `/general-video`. One-way, Remotion-only: no reverse export (HyperFrames→Remotion or any framework), no non-Remotion source (After Effects, Framer Motion, plain React/CSS) → out of scope, re-create via `/general-video`. Flags unsupported patterns (useState, useEffect, async calculateMetadata, third-party React libs, `@remotion/lambda`) and recommends runtime interop over lossy translation. Unsure whether to port vs. build fresh, or only a passing Remotion mention? → /hyperframes.
