About

You want to show someone an interactive prototype. But setting up React, installing dependencies, configuring Tailwind—that's an hour before you write a single line of UI code. Instead, describe what you want. Claude builds a working React component you can share instantly—no setup, no npm install, no configuration files.

Stop wrestling with build tools when you just need a quick demo. Start describing what you want and getting something you can share. Describe, don't configure Tell Claude what you need—a dashboard, a form, an interactive chart. Get a complete React component with Tailwind styling, ready to run. Real components, not mockups These aren't screenshots. They're working React code with state, interactivity, and proper component structure. Click buttons. Fill forms. See data update. Share in seconds Copy the artifact link or the code. No "clone this repo and run npm install" instructions. Your stakeholder sees a working prototype immediately.

Best for

  • · Build working React prototypes by describing what you want
  • · No local setup—no Node, no npm install, no configuration
  • · Real interactivity: state, events, animations all work
  • · Uses Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for professional styling

Not for

  • · Artifacts run in a sandboxed environment—no external API calls or backend connections
  • · Best for UI prototypes and demos, not production deployment
  • · Complex animations or custom canvas work may need refinement

How to use

  1. 1Install the SkillDownload the skill file directly, or install via the plugin marketplace. Skills auto-activate when relevant—no manual invocation needed.
  2. 2Describe What You NeedBe specific about the UI. "A dashboard with three metric cards" beats "make something cool." Include data structure, interactions, and visual style.
  3. 3Iterate FastDon't like the colors? Want to add a feature? Just ask. Claude remembers the component and modifies it.
  4. 4Copy the CodeWhen you're happy, grab the code. It's clean React with Tailwind classes—paste it into your actual project or share the artifact directly.

Example prompts

Quick prototype for a stakeholder meeting

/artifacts-builder Build a pricing page with three tiers: Free, Pro ($29/mo), and Enterprise (contact sales). Each card shows features, a CTA button, and the Pro tier should be highlighted as "Most Popular". Modern, clean design.

Interactive form with validation

/artifacts-builder Create a multi-step signup form: Step 1 collects email and password, Step 2 asks for company info, Step 3 shows a summary and confirm button. Include validation—email format, password strength indicator, required fields.

Dashboard with live data visualization

/artifacts-builder Build a sales dashboard. Show: total revenue (big number), revenue trend (line chart, last 7 days), top 5 products (bar chart), recent orders (table with status badges). Use placeholder data that looks realistic.

UI component library starter

/artifacts-builder Create a component showcase page. Include: button variants (primary, secondary, outline, ghost), input fields with labels and error states, a modal dialog, and a dropdown menu. Show each in light and dark mode.

Explain a complex concept visually

/artifacts-builder Build an interactive visualization of how OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow works. Show the user, app, auth server, and resource server as boxes. Animate the flow step by step when I click "Next". Label each request and response.
