dsh-artifacts

Agents produce Markdown and JSON all day, yet most of it ends up as unstyled terminal text that nobody wants to share. dsh-artifacts fixes this by rendering the same content into a clean, self-contained HTML document you can open from disk, attach to an email, or drop on any static host. All CSS is inlined, so there are no external fonts, frameworks, or tracking scripts. The output works offline and stays valid forever.

At its core, the plugin offers four templates (doc, card, dashboard, gallery) paired with five themes (dark, light, paper, terminal, brand). Pick a template and a theme, and you get a finished page without needing any design background. Rendering works two ways: a CLI for manual use, and an artifact_render tool that the agent itself can call from chat to write a styled file to disk and hand back the path. It also supports batch-exporting any folder of Markdown notes (an Obsidian vault, a VS Code notes directory, blog drafts) into self-contained HTML pages with a linked index. The whole plugin has zero runtime dependencies beyond Node 18 or higher.

It suits three common needs: making agent-generated reports or technical docs into a shareable page; converting a local Obsidian or Markdown notes collection into a static HTML site without wrestling with Hugo or Next.js; and producing a pure HTML/CSS artifact for email attachments or static hosting with no JavaScript runtime involved.
