name: plan-artifact description: Create or customize a shareable plan Artifact from an implementation plan, design doc, or RFC. Use when asked to publish a plan as an artifact, restyle or edit a plan artifact, or present a plan as a shareable page.

Turn a markdown plan into a published Artifact with the standard plan treatment. All plan artifacts share one blessed template so they read as a family: same type system, same palette, same rhythm, in both light and dark mode.

Plans approved in plan mode can already be published from the approval dialog's publish option (or /plan share) - that built-in path fills this same template mechanically, and only runs when the user picks it. Use this skill when a human asks you to create a plan artifact by hand, re-publish an edited plan, or customize what the built-in publish produced.

Process

Always start from the template. Never write the HTML shell from scratch - the shell is the consistency.

1. Copy the template. Copy templates/artifact-plan.html from this skill's base directory (listed above) to a working plan.html in your scratchpad directory if one is listed in your system prompt, otherwise alongside your other temporary files.

2. Edit the copy - content only.

   • Delete the leading HTML comment header.
   • Fill {{TITLE}} and {{TAB_TITLE}} with the plan's title, {{EYEBROW}} with a short context label such as Plan · <project name>, and {{SUMMARY}} with a one-sentence lede.
   • Replace each <!-- SLOT: ... --> comment with that section's content as HTML. Convert the plan's markdown; the <h2> headings are already provided. Add or remove whole <section> blocks so the document matches the plan's actual structure - the four starter sections are a suggestion, not a requirement.
   • Keep the <style> block intact, including the dark-mode token set - every plan artifact carries both themes. Keep the <script> theme shim intact too: it mirrors the viewer toggle's data-theme stamp onto data-mode for the token block, and removing it silently kills the toggle axis for the page while diagrams still follow it. Extend or restyle only when the user explicitly asks for a different look, and keep their changes additive where possible.

3. Publish the file with the Artifact tool.
