Preview artifact

Skill anup-a/preview-artifact/skills/preview-artifact

Open an artifact (a Markdown/LaTeX/PDF/image plan, design doc, report, or paper) in a local browser viewer with beautiful formatting the user can read and edit, instead of dumping it into chat. Use when the user asks to preview, open, view, or render a file/artifact, or right after you generate a plan or document the user should review.From its SKILL.md

Pretifact

Open artifacts in the local Pretifact viewer — a warm, editorial, light/dark reading surface with a WYSIWYG editor — rather than pasting long content into the chat.

When to use

  • The user says "preview/open/view/render this", "let me read it in the browser", "show me the plan nicely", or similar.
  • You just wrote a plan, design doc, report, or .md/.tex/.pdf the user should review — offer to open it.

When NOT to use

  • The user wants the content inline in chat, or it's a one-line snippet.

How

  1. Determine the file path. If you just created it, use that path; otherwise ask which file. Supported: .md / .markdown, .tex / .latex, .pdf, and images (.png, .jpg, .svg, …).
  2. Run it with a normal (foreground) shell call — it auto-starts a shared background daemon, returns immediately, and prints the URL: 
    pretifact open "<path>"
    You can pass several files at once to load them into the viewer's side panel (the user can switch between them): 
    pretifact open plan.md design.md report.pdf
  3. If pretifact is not found, install it once, then retry: 
    npm install -g pretifact
  4. Report the printed URL (http://127.0.0.1:PORT/?path=…). The browser opens automatically; if not, the user can click it. Markdown and LaTeX edit, save back to disk, and live-reload; PDFs and images are read-only.

Opening more files reuses the same daemon. pretifact stop shuts it down.
