+## Artifacts
+
+Small web apps agents build in a chat (a sales dashboard, a KPI tracker, a deal board). `services/artifacts.ts`,
+`routes/artifacts.ts`, `server/artifactFrame.ts`, types in `@godmode/shared` `artifacts.ts`, UI in
+`components/artifacts/` and `pages/artifacts/`.
+
+* **Storage** (migration 102). `artifacts`: one HTML document (`html`, at most 400k characters), its data as JSON
+  (`data`, 1M), `version` (+1 for every change to the code), `refresh_prompt`, `pinned`, the agent, the chat it was made
+  in and its workspace. `artifact_versions` keeps the code of the last 50 versions with the agent's note. Data is never
+  versioned: the agent writes it (a refresh) and so does the app (`godmode.setData`). Artifacts move with their workspace
+  (`SCOPE_ITEMS`), stay on the computer they were made on (not replicated in a device group) and are not offered on a
+  runner.
+* **Tools** (every agent, in chats; not in condition checks or dreams): `artifact_create({ title, description, html,
+  data, refreshPrompt })`, `artifact_update({ id, html | edits, data, title, description, refreshPrompt, note })` — `edits`
+  are exact find/replace pairs, each found exactly once unless `all` — `artifact_get({ id, part })` and
+  `artifact_list({ thisChat })`. Agents change their own, managers anyone's. The system prompt's *Artifacts* section
+  tells agents when to build one and to keep numbers in the data.
+* **Talking to the agent.** `POST /api/artifacts/:id/message` sends the human's words to the artifact's chat (queued while
+  the agent works there; a new chat with its agent when that one is gone) with a first line
+  `[About the artifact "…" (art_…)]`; `/refresh` sends the refresh prompt; `POST /api/artifacts/start {prompt, agentId}`
+  starts a chat that builds a new one.
+* **Sandbox.** The app can't host artifacts as `srcdoc` (it would inherit the app's strict `script-src`). The core serves
+  a page without data at `GET /api/artifacts/frame` (no sign-in, may be framed): its own policy is `sandbox
+  allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-modals allow-downloads` — an opaque origin,
+  no cookies (the core's are `SameSite=Strict`), no storage — with scripts, styles and fonts from https, `connect-src
+  https: wss:` (never the core on http) and `form-action 'none'`. The app frames it (Tauri's CSP allows `frame-src` to the
+  core on 127.0.0.1/localhost) and posts `{type: "gm:load", doc}`: the bridge script plus the artifact's HTML, which
+  the page writes into itself. Messages are only taken from that frame's window and carry a per-load token.
+* **Bridge** (`window.godmode`, `ARTIFACT_BRIDGE_DOC`): `data`, `onData(fn)`, `setData(next)` (saved with
+  `PUT /api/artifacts/:id/data`, answered so the promise resolves or fails), `ask(text)` (the app shows "Send to …" and
+  the human confirms), `refresh()`, `theme` / `onTheme(fn)` and `--gm-*` CSS variables for light and dark. New data from
+  the agent reaches an open artifact without a reload; new code reloads it. Script errors show a bar that asks the agent
+  to fix them.
+* **UI.** A card in the chat for `artifact_create` / `artifact_update` opens the side panel (it opens by itself when the
+  agent builds or changes one while the chat is on screen): preview, code, data, versions with restore, refresh, full
+  screen, download as one HTML file (data inside, `setData` in memory). The Artifacts page lists them with live previews
+  and starts new ones from a sentence or a starter; `/artifacts/:id` shows one full screen with a line to ask for
+  changes. Godmode Cloud doesn't frame computers' pages, so there the preview points to the app.

 | **Working folders** | Optionally point a chat or an agent at any folder on your machine — it works on the files there and keeps its memory in its own repo. |
 | **Goals** | Say what the work is for: a goal (*Close Q4 books on time* — why it matters, by when) above the board shows how far it is — tickets done of all, what it cost — and a click filters the board to its tickets. Every ticket that serves a goal tells its agent why, so choices the ticket leaves open go the right way; parts serve their ticket's goal. |
 | **Task board** | A Trello-style Kanban board per workspace: create tickets, assign them to agents, drag them across *Backlog → Todo → In progress → In review → Done*. A ticket that lands in *Todo* starts its agent. Every ticket works in its own git worktree of the workspace's repository (a cloned URL or a local folder), on its own branch, so agents running side by side never get in each other's way. When the agent on a **Coding** ticket is done, Godmode pushes its branch and opens a pull request — merged pull requests close their ticket. Reply to a ticket to ask for changes; the pull request updates. Archive finished tickets (one by one, or a whole *Done* column) to keep the board focused — they keep everything and come back in one click. Tickets carry a **priority**, a **due date** and **labels** (filter by them; urgent ones start first and the agent is told the deadline). Every ticket keeps a **timeline** — each delivery with its full result, your feedback, the agent's notes, blocks and pull requests — and shows what it **cost** and how long the agent worked. Review in one click (**Approve** / **Request changes** / **Reopen**); A run that fails on a hiccup (an API error, a crash, a restart) is **tried again on its own** — twice at most — so work gets done without you; *Blocked* is left for what needs you, and says why — the agent needs something, the run kept failing — and offers the matching way on. A ticket whose agent set itself a follow-up shows *Waiting — continues tomorrow at 10:00* instead of landing in review. A ticket can **wait for** others (*Reconcile October* waits for *#3 Get the bank statements*): it stays in Todo, says so, and starts by itself once they are delivered — with their results in its brief. Big tickets split into **parts**: a lead hands them to its team (or you add them), its ticket waits until they're delivered and then continues with their results — approve the whole and its parts are done too. |
+| **Artifacts** | Ask for a dashboard, a tracker or a small tool and the agent builds it as an **artifact**: a live web app that opens next to the chat — a sales dashboard with your real numbers, a KPI tracker, a deal board, a budget planner, a price calculator. Use it right there (what you enter is saved), change it by chatting (*“make the chart weekly”*, *“add a column for the owner”*), go back to any earlier version, and press **Refresh** for fresh data: the agent fetches it from the same place again. Every artifact lives on the **Artifacts** page with a live preview; start a new one from a sentence or a ready-made starter, open it full screen, pin it or download it as one HTML file. Artifacts run in a sandbox: they can load libraries from the web but never reach your logins or Godmode itself. |
 | **Automations** | Work starts when it happens: on a schedule (“weekdays at 08:00”), when something happens in a connected app (a new email, a Slack message, a calendar event, a Notion update), when a condition you describe comes true (“competitor pricing changes”), or when a webhook is called. Describe it in one sentence and Godmode sets it up. |
 | **Follow-ups** | When a task needs waiting — a reply to an email, a delivery, a build, office hours — the agent sets itself a time and picks the chat up again on its own, with all the context, like a coworker who says “I'll check back tomorrow at 10”. You see when it comes back and can continue now, move it or cancel it. |
 | **Heartbeats & watchdog** | Agents with real work keep moving between your prompts. Switch on an agent's **heartbeat** (every 15 minutes to once a day, optionally only in working hours on weekdays) and it wakes on its own rhythm: it picks up its tickets that stand still, tries a failed one again, starts one that never did — each in the ticket's own chat, told exactly what changed since it last worked on it — and runs its standing **checklist**. Every beat ends with a trail on the agent's *Heartbeat* tab; a beat with nothing to do is quiet and costs nothing. The **watchdog** looks at every run while it works: a run that shows no sign of life, or calls the same tool with the same result over and over, is stopped with a precise report of where it stood. Board tickets try again once on their own; anything else is escalated to you. |

 ${human} can add Claude Code plugins under Plugins; they load into the runs of the agents they are for. Two kinds: whole plugins installed from a git repository (skills, subagents, slash commands, hooks, MCP servers — e.g. Claude Video or oh-my-claudecode) and small plugins of TypeScript function hooks that run inside every turn (they refuse or rewrite tool calls, rewrite prompts, mask tool output and post notes). \`plugins_list\` shows the installed ones. When ${human} asks for a plugin from GitHub, install it with \`plugin_install\`. When ${human} asks for a small one, write it and save it with \`plugin_save\`: load Claude Code's \`plugin-authoring\` skill first for the API (it names the type declarations to read), keep it small, and give ${human} options through the manifest's \`userConfig\` instead of hard-coding what they will want to change. Write the files in a folder of your own (\`workspace/plugins/<name>/\`), not where the skill says — nothing loads from \`~/.claude/dev-mods\` in Godmode — and try them there with \`claude plugin validate\` and \`claude plugin test\` when the \`claude\` command is at hand. In Godmode a plugin's \`$.ui.log\`, \`$.ui.toast\` and \`$.ui.status\` show as notes in the chat; panes and bands aren't drawn, and nobody can be asked through \`$.ui\`. \`plugin_save\` checks the files with Claude Code's validator and returns the result — fix what it reports and save again until it passes. Whatever you install or save arrives switched off. A plugin from a repository you switch on yourself with \`plugin_update\` once its check passed and it is what the work needs, with \`runsFor\` set to the agents that need it (one with many tools or programs never for every agent); the same tool switches a plugin off or changes whose runs load it, and ${human} is told. Agents that read raw secrets or control the computer only get a plugin when you may set them up. A small plugin an agent wrote with \`plugin_save\` waits for ${human} to read the code and switch it on: never present it as active, and don't change the code of a plugin that is switched on.`);
