DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Environment variables

CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_TYPES

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.236, including the newest one read.

What it is

You could start a private artifact from a published template, but two server switches keep it shut here.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.236.

Presence across releases

ReleasesReadingDeclared typeDefault
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases never mined
2.1.236 – 2.1.243 8 releases in the build triBool

A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Changelog entries naming it

None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

Names beside it

Every environment variable in the inventory starting claude_code_artifact, up to twelve of them.

CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACTPR review artifact pages can show a pinned button that approves the pull request from your GitHub account. 2.1.166 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_ASSET_BASE_URLThree artifact environment variables are now recognised, with the API token stripped from spawned processes as a secret. 2.1.221 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_ASSETSClaude can now upload, list, read and delete images, video, PDFs and fonts attached to your published artifacts. 2.1.234 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_AUTO_OPENSet to 0 to stop Claude Code from opening the browser automatically when a new [artifact](/docs/en/artifacts) is published. Republishing an existing artifact does not open the browser regardless of this setting 2.1.172 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENT_FAST_ACKClaude can post a quick 'on it' note in artifact comment threads before the real reply, off unless enabled. 2.1.232 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENT_FAST_ACK_FIXEDA cheaper canned way to acknowledge artifact comments exists but needs two env vars switched on. 2.1.235 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENT_RESPONDERA read-only subagent that analyses one artifact comment thread exists but stays off. 2.1.227 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTSSet to 0 to stop Claude reading and replying to [comments on an artifact](/docs/en/artifacts#collect-comments-on-an-artifact). Has no effect when CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC has [turned artifacts off](/docs/en/artifacts#availability). Requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later 2.1.221 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_COMMENTS_AUTOREACTSet to 0 to stop Claude [replying on its own to comments sent to it](/docs/en/artifacts#let-claude-reply-to-comments-on-its-own). Requires Claude Code v2.1.228 or later 2.1.221 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_DBPublished artifacts can gain a document database Claude reads and writes, off unless you set the env var. 2.1.224 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_DELETEClaude can now read back a published artifact's contents; browsing, multi-file publishing and deletion are built but off. 2.1.239 CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_DIRECT_UPLOADArtifact availability now hinges on one gate, and direct upload kicks in for create paths. 2.1.172

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the environment variable does. All environment variables.
