What
The Artifact tool publishes a file so it can be viewed outside the conversation. Before, Claude was told only that it did not need to read a file again before editing it. A new mode tells Claude to send its Edit calls and the Artifact publish for the same file together in one response, with no Read first. Older guidance said to edit and publish in the same message.
Why
In that mode, Claude edits and republishes an artifact in a single step instead of going back and forth.
