What it does
OpenArtifacts turns a local file into a public page on a service where agents and people iterate together. An agent pushes finished HTML, gets a link, and every update is saved as an immutable version. The plain link shows the latest version while `/v2`-style links are pinned. Reading a public document needs no account while publishing needs a key. A new document can be private to invited people by email where the plan includes it, and comments attach to quoted text; threads follow the quote across versions. Pages are not indexed by search engines, scripts and charts work, and forms cannot be submitted. The Cloudflare Workers server with R2 and D1 can be self-hosted. The free hosted tier has three live documents and 30 publishes per day.
Who it is for. Teams where an agent prepares reports, analyses and prototypes and colleagues read and comment via a link.
Good fit when
- An agent finished research and must show it to colleagues at one link.
- A page is updated several times and earlier versions must stay available.
- Comments from people and an agent are needed on report paragraphs.
- An interactive document with charts and calculations is published without a server.
Not a fit when
- Page content is confidential and must not leave the company.
- A data collection form is needed: pages cannot submit forms.
- Visual diffs and rollback are needed: they are still on the roadmap.
Example request
Publish `report.html` through OpenArtifacts, make the page private to invited people and give me the link to the latest version.Limitations
Publishing to the hosted service sends the file to a third-party server, so keep secrets and personal data out of pages. The free tier is limited to three live documents, 30 publishes per day and 1 MiB of HTML per document. Private invite-only sharing and comments belong to paid plans of the hosted version, and standalone checkout is not available yet. Deletion destroys the files but copies in readers' caches cannot be recalled. The first publish opens a browser for approval and stores the token without printing it. The last commit dates from November 2026.
How to disable. Remove the skill and CLI from the agent directories and run `npm uninstall -g openartifacts` if installed globally. Published documents are deleted from the service list, leaving a 410 Gone tombstone.
FAQ
Is an account needed to read a page?
No. Public documents open without signing in. Invited readers of a private page sign in with Google, GitHub or an emailed code.
How do versions work?
Each publish creates an immutable version. The plain link shows the latest and a pinned `/v2` link shows the named one.
Is the page indexed by search?
No, server responses carry `noindex` directives.
Can I self-host the service?
Yes. The server runs on Cloudflare Workers with R2 and D1 and runs locally on Node.js 22. The address is set by `OPENARTIFACTS_API_HOST`.
How do I pass a token in a non-interactive session?
Through the `OPENARTIFACTS_TOKEN` variable holding an opaque credential.
