# Build React Web Artifacts

Complex web artifacts need project structure, reusable components, and reliable bundling. This skill creates a React workflow and packages it into one shareable HTML artifact.

## Capabilities

- Creates a React 18 and TypeScript project with Vite.
- Configures Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui theming defaults.
- Adds path aliases for imports under the src directory.
- Installs Radix UI and related shadcn component dependencies.
- Extracts prepared shadcn component files into the project.
- Bundles the finished app into one HTML file with inlined assets.

## Use Cases

- Prototype Interactive Tools: Create a structured React workspace for calculators, dashboards, and stateful interface prototypes.
- Build Shareable Frontend Demos: Assemble a polished demo with Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, and a single HTML output.
- Prepare Client Review Artifacts: Package a multi-screen concept into one artifact that can be reviewed in a Claude conversation.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a Basic Artifact Project

```
Create a new React web artifact project for a simple interactive dashboard. Use the web-artifacts-builder workflow and explain the files I should edit.
```

### Add Component-Based UI

```
Build a multi-panel artifact using shadcn/ui components. Include navigation, forms, tables, and responsive layout choices.
```

### Bundle a Finished Artifact

```
Bundle this React artifact into a single HTML file. Check that the output is self-contained and ready to share in Claude.
```

### Refine a Complex Artifact Workflow

```
Create a production-quality artifact with multiple views, shared state, form validation, and polished interaction states. Use the generated React project structure.
```

## Limitations

- Requires Node.js 18 or later and a working package manager environment.
- Downloads npm packages during setup, so offline use is limited.
- Best suited for complex React artifacts, not small static HTML snippets.
- Generated projects still require user review, design work, and testing.

## Best Practices

- Use this skill when the artifact needs state, reusable components, or several screens.
- Review generated dependencies and scripts before running them in sensitive environments.
- Test the bundled HTML when the artifact includes complex interactions or browser APIs.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use this workflow for a small static page that fits in one file.
- Do not run setup scripts in repositories that contain unrelated production files.
- Do not assume the bundled artifact is polished without reviewing layout and interactions.

## Security Audit

- Summary: The skill performs expected local project generation work, including Bash execution, package installation, local file writes, and archive extraction. No prompt injection attempt was found, and several markdown and documentation URL matches are false positives. The main residual risk is supply chain exposure from npm package installation and the bundled component archive.
