What

The Artifact menu now offers dashboard, report, data-table and explainer templates, with entries like "Publish a dashboard Artifact from a template". New skills add an iterative design workshop that publishes an evolving plan page with decision points readers can answer, a library of reusable page components starting with that decision component, a diagramming skill for inline SVG that reads correctly in both light and dark themes, and a design pass that is now required before writing any Artifact, Markdown included.

Details
  • Templates point at a separate runtime-capability skill when a page needs live data, persistence, identity or file storage. Those capabilities are described as granted per user by the control plane, so what a page can do depends on the account rather than on anything set locally.

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