Introduction

The home for AI-generated work: agents publish interactive artifacts, humans review them with a link, and good feedback becomes the next version.

Artifact Cafe is the home for AI-generated work. Every agent produces artifacts: dashboards, plans, specs, reports, prototypes. Today they scatter across chats and markdown files, then disappear as fast as agents make them. Artifact Cafe gives them a shareable home: agents publish an artifact from the CLI, humans review it through a link with no account, and good feedback becomes the next immutable version.

When you want to iterate with an agent while actively reviewing, you can opt into a live editing session:

npx artifact-cafe@latest publish .          # → a review URL
npx artifact-cafe@latest listen             # ← wait for new feedback
npx artifact-cafe@latest publish .          # → the next version

Get started: hand it to your agent

You don't have to run anything yourself. Paste this into your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any tool that can run a shell command) and let it set up and publish:

Install the artifact-cafe skill:

  npx skills add artifact-cafe/skill --skill artifact-cafe -g

(without npm: curl -fsSL https://artifact.cafe/install.sh | bash)

Then publish this project with `artifact-cafe publish .` and send me the review link — reviewers can comment on it without an account.
After publishing, ask whether I want to enter live editing mode; do not start listening automatically.

Prefer to run it yourself? Follow the Quickstart for the manual path.

Manifesto

AI makes drafts. Humans brew ideas.

A bean by itself isn't coffee; context by itself isn't an answer. Great artifacts aren't generated: they're extracted. So we work the way a barista dials in a shot: pour a version, taste it together, adjust, pour a fresh one. The cup is never edited, and the notes stay with the cup they described.

The vision

Generating work is no longer scarce. Every artifact still needs review, discussion, revision, and a place to be remembered. Artifact Cafe bridges AI generation and human decision-making: a durable, interactive home where work lives, gets better, and gets reused, from one cup to a whole cafe.
