By keeping plans, research, links, and visualizations alongside the work, they give coding agents richer context and teams a durable record as the work evolves. With issue artifacts, you can attach: - **Markdown files** for plans, research, root cause analyses, and other documents. - **Links** to Slack or Microsoft Teams threads, prototypes, and other external resources. - **HTML files** for interactive visualizations, flowcharts, and diagrams, with the ability to toggle between a rendered preview and the source. ## [Get started with the GitHub App](#get-started-with-the-github-app) When you use the GitHub App to work on an issue, artifacts created during the session are automatically attached to that issue. You can also prompt the session to create a specific artifact, such as an implementation plan, root cause analysis, or summary of historical context. Support for creating and viewing HTML artifacts in the GitHub App is coming soon. ## [Get started with `gh issue artifact`](#get-started-with-gh-issue-artifact) `gh issue artifact` The new `gh issue artifact` command brings issue artifact support to GitHub CLI. You can use the `create`, `edit`, `list`, `view`, `download`, and `delete` commands to manage issue artifacts. Coding agents and developer tools that use `gh` can also invoke them as part of their workflows. Artifacts can also be addressed by their GitHub URLs, and Markdown documents support image and video attachments with `--attach`. For usage details, see the [` gh issue artifact` documentation](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_issue_artifact). ## [Manage and view artifacts on github.com](#manage-and-view-artifacts-on-github-com) Create, edit, and delete artifacts directly from an issue on github.com. You can update an artifact as plans and decisions change while retaining its version history, giving teammates and agents a current source of truth without losing how it evolved. Each artifact can be linked, making it easy to open, reference, and share. ## [Share your feedback](#share-your-feedback) Join the [GitHub Community](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/210917) to tell us what you think and help shape the public preview.
