Claude can now be told to ask you a few questions in a Visualizer form before creating one. It skips the questions when your request already covers the scope, the audience and the look, or when you say not to ask.\n\nThis happens only when all of these hold:\n\n- `CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_ASK_FIRST` is set to true, or, if it is not set, a remote switch is on; that switch is off unless turned on remotely.\n\n- You are working interactively, not as an automated agent.\n\n- The Visualizer tools are loaded.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhen it is on, a request for slides or a design starts with a short questionnaire, which can help Claude match what you had in mind. Set `CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_ASK_FIRST` yourself to turn it on or off.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
