Build React Artifacts with shadcn/ui Components

Also available from: anthropics,davila7,Azeem-2

Creating multi-component React artifacts for Claude conversations requires complex bundling and configuration. This skill automates project setup with React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and 40+ shadcn/ui components, then bundles everything into a single HTML file.

Test it

Using "web-artifacts-builder". Initialize a project called "task-board" with kanban board layout

Expected outcome:

Project 'task-board' created successfully with React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS 3.4.1, and 40+ shadcn/ui components. Path aliases (@/) configured. Run 'cd task-board && pnpm dev' to start development server.

Using "web-artifacts-builder". Bundle the current React project into a single HTML artifact

Expected outcome:

Bundle complete! Output: bundle.html (487 KB). All JavaScript, CSS, and assets inlined. Open bundle.html in browser to preview, or share directly in Claude conversations.

Security Audit

Low Risk
v1 • 2/24/2026

Static analysis flagged 39 patterns across 3 files (451 lines). All findings evaluated as false positives: shell commands are legitimate build tooling with hardcoded arguments, filesystem operations modify only project-local configuration files, network references are documentation URLs only, and weak crypto detections are false matches on CSS color values. The skill is a frontend scaffolding tool with no malicious patterns detected.

Low Risk Issues (2)
Shell Script Execution
Build scripts execute shell commands for project scaffolding. All commands use hardcoded arguments with no user input injection vectors. Standard pattern for development tooling.
Filesystem Modification
Scripts modify project configuration files (tsconfig.json, tailwind.config.js) using Node.js fs module. Operations are scoped to the created project directory only.

What You Can Build

Interactive Dashboard Components

Build complex data visualization dashboards with multiple shadcn/ui components like tables, cards, charts, and filters that work directly in Claude conversations.

Multi-Step Form Applications

Create sophisticated form flows with validation, state management, and UI components like dialogs, tabs, and accordions for user onboarding experiences.

Design System Showcases

Generate comprehensive component libraries showcasing shadcn/ui theming, dark mode support, and responsive layouts for design documentation.

Try These Prompts

Quick Start - Initialize Project
Initialize a new web artifact project called "dashboard-demo" with all shadcn/ui components configured.
Build a Data Table with Filters
Create a customer management dashboard with a data table showing name, email, and status. Add filter controls using the select and input components. Include pagination and row actions via dropdown menu.
Multi-Step Form with Validation
Build a 3-step registration form using the form, input, select, and button components. Use react-hook-form with zod validation. Step 1 collects personal info, Step 2 handles preferences, Step 3 shows confirmation. Include progress indicator.
Dark Mode Analytics Dashboard
Create an analytics dashboard with dark mode toggle using next-themes. Include metric cards, a line chart placeholder, recent activity table, and a settings dialog. Use the card, table, dialog, button, and switch components with proper shadcn/ui theming.

Best Practices

  • Always run init-artifact.sh before starting development to ensure all dependencies and configurations are properly set up
  • Use the provided path aliases (@/components, @/lib) for cleaner imports consistent with shadcn/ui conventions
  • Run bundle-artifact.sh only after development is complete to minimize build time and output size

Avoid

  • Do not use this skill for simple single-file React snippets - it is designed for multi-component applications
  • Avoid modifying the build scripts unless you understand Parcel bundling configuration and path alias resolution
  • Do not commit the bundle.html to version control - generate it fresh for each artifact sharing session

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this skill and simple React artifact generation?
This skill creates full multi-component React applications with proper build tooling, while simple artifacts are single-file JSX snippets. Use this for complex UIs requiring state management, routing, or many shadcn/ui components.
Can I use npm or yarn instead of pnpm?
The scripts are written for pnpm. You can manually adapt the commands for npm or yarn, but pnpm is recommended for compatibility with the provided scripts and faster dependency installation.
Why is the bundled HTML file so large?
The bundle includes the entire React library, all shadcn/ui components, and Tailwind CSS inlined into a single file. This trade-off enables sharing as a self-contained artifact without external dependencies.
Can I add custom shadcn/ui components after initialization?
Yes. The components.json configuration is set up for the shadcn/ui CLI. Run 'pnpm dlx shadcn-ui@latest add <component>' to add more components to your project.
Does this skill work with Claude Code workspace mode?
Yes. The scripts operate within the current project directory. When using Claude Code, ensure you run commands from the artifact project root where package.json exists.
How do I customize the Tailwind theme beyond the default shadcn colors?
Edit tailwind.config.js to add custom colors, fonts, or extend the theme. The config is pre-configured with shadcn CSS variables that you can modify or extend.
