Claude Code now first checks whether an in-app frame viewer is available:\n\n- With several frames, it opens a picker so you can choose one.\n\n- With a single frame, it opens that frame directly.\n\n- Without the viewer, it runs `\/artifacts` as before.\n\nThe hint shown in the footer is no longer always \"view artifacts\" and now varies.\n\n**Why**\n\nArtifact links can open inside Claude Code instead of going through a slash command.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Names: `\/artifacts`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
