What it does

Artifact Server is an agent skill from plannotator/artifact-server. Publish, review, organize, and share work with Artifact Server, or operate an installation when the user explicitly requests administrator work. Use for Artifact Server links, files or sites to upload, project, artifact, version, tag, sharing, or comment work, connection help, and explicit install, deploy, upgrade, backup, restore, or repair requests. Do not use for unrelated package publishing or for building software that the user did not ask to store in Artifact Server.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/artifact-operations.md`).

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open source alternative to Claude artifacts. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly requests administrator work
  • Artifact Server links
  • Sites to upload
  • Connection help

Example prompts

  • “/artifact-server”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5af28ac. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Artifact Server loads about 617 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~617
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Artifact Server

Use one skill for Artifact Server work. Route the request before loading detailed instructions.

Route the request

  • For publishing, updating, opening, sharing, commenting, tagging, comparing, restoring an artifact version, or managing projects, read artifact operations. Read target selection when the server or project is not already exact.
  • For an explicit request to install, deploy, upgrade, reconfigure, back up, restore, inspect, repair, or delete an Artifact Server installation, read server operations. Do not load or follow administrator instructions for routine artifact work.
  • Read failures and compatibility only after a failure, incompatibility, authentication problem, or ambiguous target.

If a request includes both artifact work and server administration, keep the steps separate and state which installation is affected before changing it.

Keep these boundaries

  • Use the installed artifactserver CLI for files on the user's machine. Use the connected Artifact Server MCP for work that needs only server data.
  • Never replace a real file with inline HTML, base64, invented bytes, or a local path sent to a remote MCP server.
  • Never read, print, request in chat, or write bearer tokens, API keys, cookies, or refresh tokens.
  • Keep public sharing off unless the user explicitly requests it.
  • Verify success from structured CLI, MCP, HTTP, or deployment health results. Never infer success from a command that merely started.

Report the result

After publication, give the full-screen review-and-comment link first. Give the raw immutable artifact link second when it is useful. Include the server, project ID, artifact ID, and exact version ID in technical details rather than making the user reconstruct them.
