Artifacts Ideation Playbook

Instructions

Use this skill to guide an artifacts-building session (in the Claude app) from initial idea to a usable, shareable interactive experience.

1. Start with a single-sentence goal.

• What should the artifact help the user do or learn?

1. Choose the artifact type.

• Examples: productivity tool, educational game, flashcards, interactive story, tutor.

1. Define the interaction loop.

• What inputs does the user provide?
• What does the artifact output or update?
• How does it handle multiple topics or levels?

1. Iterate in small steps.

• Ask for one change at a time (layout, content, logic, difficulty).
• After each change, check that the artifact remains understandable and easy to use.

1. Organize and share.

• Save versions or fork an existing artifact to customize.
• Share the artifact and confirm viewers can access it.

Examples

Example: Flashcard artifact iteration

Goal: "Help me study a topic with interactive flashcards."

• Step 1: Ask the user to pick a topic.
• Step 2: Generate a small deck.
• Step 3: Add a simple progress indicator.
• Step 4: Add a way to switch topics.

Example: Customize an existing artifact

• Identify what you want to keep.
• Replace the content/theme.
• Add one interactive feature.
• Verify the new version is still coherent.
