Set up Thing in Claude Code
Keep building in your repository. Let Claude Code publish the report, prototype, or document when it is ready for someone else to see.
Already connected? Publish your first artifact
Connect thing to Claude Code
In Claude Code, install Thing’s publishing skill:
/plugin marketplace add unravel-team/thing /plugin install thing@thing
Restart Claude Code if the skill does not appear. You also need Node.js LTS with npx available in the agent’s terminal.
The first push opens browser approval and resumes after you sign in. If your agent cannot complete interactive approval, run npx -y @unravel-tech/thing@latest login in your own terminal first. Review the generated file before publishing. Thing plugin source.
Publish your first artifact
Paste this into Claude Code. It creates a real artifact; no existing file is required.
The agent should return a Thing URL. Open it while signed in and confirm the report is there. Check Share before sending it: personal artifacts default private, and team artifacts default team-visible. Invite a person or choose the visibility you need.
For your next report, use the same name to add a version at the same URL.
Something not working?
Check npx --version, then run npx -y @unravel-tech/thing@latest whoami on the machine running your agent. If sign-in is missing, run npx -y @unravel-tech/thing@latest login there and restart the agent. For MCP, confirm Thing’s tools appear before asking it to publish. Never put credentials in a prompt or a committed config.
Not using Claude Code for everything?
The same artifacts work from every other agent, and from CI. See artifacts for any coding agent for Claude Code, Aider, Cline, shell tools, and pipelines, and for why a page that outlives the session it came from is worth the extra step of publishing.
