What

The instructions Claude follows when building an artifact gained a section on what to do when an idea needs real data or real actions, and it tells Claude to load a named capabilities skill before relying on any of them.

Details
  • The new section is headed ## When the idea needs real data or real actions.
  • It names three things as per-user runtime capabilities rather than things the page can just do: live or connected data, acting on the user's behalf from the published page, and handing the viewer a file.
  • Those capabilities are described as granted by the control plane and declared at publish time, so they are decided outside the artifact's own code.
  • This is prompt text assembled into the artifact instructions, not a gated feature.
Evidence

This is wired fidelity.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
