Claude Code has introduced a game-changing feature that transforms work progress into tangible, shareable visual pages, called artifacts. These pages are designed to represent a variety of tasks such as PR walkthroughs, system explanations, data dashboards, and release checklists, automatically updating as work is carried out within a session.
The versatility of a Claude Code session allows users to tackle everything from incident investigations to data analysis. With artifacts, completed projects become accessible web pages that colleagues can delve into, whether they’re reviewing a pull request, sorting through a dashboard, or tracking a release checklist that completes itself as tasks are accomplished. This innovation is set to optimize collaboration, enabling teams to focus more on building and less on exchanging status updates.
Artifacts are constructed using the comprehensive context from each session, including codebases, connections to other tools, and ongoing conversations. A single incident page can gather crucial information, linking together the failing test cases, relevant functions, and insights from monitoring tools. This means users do not need to set up complex integration; they can simply request a page, and Claude Code will generate it based on existing data.
The automatic updating feature of these pages ensures that once an artifact is published, any changes are reflected in real-time for all viewers. Each update creates a new version but retains the same link, along with a version history that enables users to revert changes if necessary. A gallery function allows for easy browsing and management of all published artifacts.
During internal trials, debugging has emerged as a prominent use case. Typically, an engineer initiates an incident review and Claude Code compiles an artifact that includes a timeline of events, suspicious code changes, and error-rate data. The engineer can then share this link with their team, who can view the most up-to-date findings at the start of their standup meeting.
By default, each artifact remains private to its creator until they choose to share it within their organization. Access control is managed by admins through organization-wide settings, ensuring that artifacts remain secured and visible only to authenticated members. Compliance APIs also offer visibility and management for administrators across the organization.
Users can easily get started by requesting an artifact or asking for a visual representation of specific data. For various roles within a company, Claude Code provides tailored suggestions, such as generating audit trails for legal compliance, mapping data flows for privacy assessments, and creating incident reports for on-call engineers. Each role can leverage artifacts to streamline documentation and enhance clarity.
To access this feature, organizations must be using Claude Team and Enterprise plans, with the capability available through both the Claude Code command-line interface (CLI) and desktop application. Artifacts can be viewed in any web browser.
