What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear What the two other checks are, and whether Whiteboard can appear without the variable, is not stated.
What
A new environment variable, CLAUDE_CODE_HOST_ARTIFACT_TYPE_COMMANDS, lets an app that runs Claude Code inside it (a host) choose which artifact type commands to offer. An artifact is a piece of output Claude makes, such as a document or a drawing. A command is turned on when the variable's value includes its name and two other checks also pass.
Two artifact types are defined:
Motion: "Make a new Motion artifact from a brief"
Whiteboard: marked as in beta, and subject to an organization policy
Why
This looks like groundwork for apps that embed Claude Code to offer Motion and Whiteboard commands.
