// Suite of tools for creating elaborate, multi-component Codex.ai HTML artifacts using modern frontend web technologies (React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui). Use for complex artifacts requiring state management, routing, or shadcn/ui components - not for simple single-file HTML/JSX artifacts.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Assists in writing high-quality content by conducting research, adding citations, improving hooks, iterating on outlines, and providing real-time feedback on each section. Transforms your writing process from solo effort to collaborative partnership.
Generate standardized conventional commit messages with Codex attribution. Use when creating automated commits, release commits, or any git commit requiring consistent formatting.
Guide frontend design decisions to create distinctive, creative UIs that avoid generic AI-generated aesthetics. Use when building UI components, designing layouts, selecting colors/fonts, or implementing animations.
Generate descriptive commit messages by analyzing git diffs. Use when the user asks for help writing commit messages or reviewing staged changes.

To build powerful frontend Codex.ai artifacts, follow these steps:
scripts/init-artifact.shscripts/bundle-artifact.shStack: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Parcel (bundling) + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
VERY IMPORTANT: To avoid what is often referred to as "AI slop", avoid using excessive centered layouts, purple gradients, uniform rounded corners, and Inter font.
Run the initialization script to create a new React project:
bash scripts/init-artifact.sh <project-name>
cd <project-name>
This creates a fully configured project with:
@/) configuredTo build the artifact, edit the generated files. See Common Development Tasks below for guidance.
To bundle the React app into a single HTML artifact:
bash scripts/bundle-artifact.sh
This creates bundle.html - a self-contained artifact with all JavaScript, CSS, and dependencies inlined. This file can be directly shared in Codex conversations as an artifact.
Requirements: Your project must have an index.html in the root directory.
What the script does:
.parcelrc config with path alias supportFinally, share the bundled HTML file in conversation with the user so they can view it as an artifact.
Note: This is a completely optional step. Only perform if necessary or requested.
To test/visualize the artifact, use available tools (including other Skills or built-in tools like Playwright or Puppeteer). In general, avoid testing the artifact upfront as it adds latency between the request and when the finished artifact can be seen. Test later, after presenting the artifact, if requested or if issues arise.
