Project Artifact
Generate and publish a project status artifact — an opinionated, tabbed status page (overview & success criteria, the workstream sequence, next steps, plus background / plan / risks & open questions / decisions-FAQ when they earn a tab) published via the built-in Artifact tool to a default-private claude.ai page the user can share with teammates. Each artifact is backed by a per-project config…

What Project Artifact is
Project Artifact is a plugin published in the anthropics/claude-plugins-official repository on GitHub, which has about 37.1k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Official, Anthropic-managed directory of high quality Claude Code Plugins.”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Project Artifact adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.
How to install Project Artifact
Claude Code
- Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
- Install the plugin: claude plugin install project-artifact@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
- Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.
Claude Cowork
- Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
- Enter anthropics/claude-plugins-official (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
- Find Project Artifact in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

Inside the source file
An excerpt from plugins/project-artifact/.claude-plugin/plugin.json, shared under the repository's Apache-2.0 license. Read the full file on GitHub.
Generate and publish a living status page for a project that's too big for one update — a migration, a launch, a research effort, anything with several workstreams tracked over time. The page is a single self-contained tabbed HTML file (overview & success criteria, the workstream sequence, an always-visible "Next steps" strip, plus background / plan / risks / FAQ tabs when they earn their place), published with Claude Code's built-in Artifact tool to a private claude.ai/code/artifact/... page that you can share with teammates.
Usage
- Create one: run /project-artifact (or just ask for a status page for your project) and point it at the project's sources — the repo and its PRs, a tracker, a design doc. It builds the page, publishes it, and tells you the URL.
- Share it: the page is private to you until you share it from the claude.ai viewer.
- Keep it current: say "refresh the artifact" in any later session. The plugin remembers the project's sources and the published URL, re-gathers live state, redeploys to the same URL, and replies with a short summary of what changed.
For software projects whose workstreams are pull requests, the page numbers the PR sequence so the dependency order is obvious and pulls live PR/CI/review state via the gh CLI.
Requirements
- Claude Code's built-in Artifact tool, which requires a claude.ai login (sessions on an API key, Bedrock, or Vertex don't have it). Claude Code Artifacts are available in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.
- Optional: the gh CLI, for PR-driven projects.
Notes
- Per-project state (the config and the latest render) lives in the plugin's data directory on your machine; the published artifact is the shareable copy.
- Artifact URLs are minted by the server. The plugin records yours after the first publish so refreshes land on the same address — bookmark it or add it to your team's hub so others can find it.
- Publishing needs an interactive session: headless (claude -p) runs don't have the Artifact tool, so automation can build and update pages but the publish step happens interactively.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
