Claude can now turn a prompt into a live, interactive checklist. Use it to track every perk on every card you own, so you stop leaving hundreds of dollars on the table each year.
Why This Works Now
On June 18, 2026, Anthropic brought Artifacts to Claude Code. An artifact is a live, interactive page Claude builds for you, a real working app or checklist, not just text in a chat. That is what makes a self-updating benefits tracker possible from a single prompt.
If you carry one or more cards with an annual fee and you are not tracking the benefits, you are very likely losing hundreds of dollars a year. The credits are there. They just expire quietly because nobody keeps a list. This fixes that in about five minutes.
The Fastest WayClick, Add Your Cards, Done
The quickest path: open the tracker I already built, then make it yours. It opens right inside Claude, so you can add your cards and start checking off benefits in about two minutes.
It opens as your own private copy. Add or remove your cards, then share your space code with your partner so you both check off the same list. Want it to work differently? Just ask Claude to tweak it.
Make It Your OwnOr Build It From The Prompt
Prefer to build it from scratch or change how it works? Paste this prompt into Claude or Claude Code, tell it your cards, and it builds your own version from the ground up.
Tracker Prompt
Build me a **credit card benefits tracker** as a single React artifact. The goal: my partner and I have a lot of cards and keep forgetting which annual/recurring benefits we've actually used. I want a beautiful, easy checklist of what we can check off, that we can both share.
## Core features
1. **Add unlimited cards, dynamically.** Each physical card is tracked separately (e.g. 3 of the same card = 3 independent checklists). When adding, let me pick from built-in templates, set a quantity to create several at once, or add a fully custom card. Cards are editable and deletable.
2. **Benefits with real reset cadences.** Each benefit has a name, annual dollar value, a note, and a cadence: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or "perk" (info-only, no checkbox). The checklist must give the right number of checkboxes per cadence: a $20/month credit = 12 monthly boxes, a semi-annual credit = 2 boxes, etc. Highlight the *current* period (this month / quarter / half) so we know what's live. Show a "used X/N" counter per benefit.
3. **Two views via a segmented control:**
- **To-Do (default):** one clean iOS-Reminders-style checklist of everything that can be checked off *right now*, pulled across every card. Each row = a tap-to-check circle, the benefit, which card, the period, and the dollar amount. Checked items move to a "Done this period" group showing who checked it and when.
- **All Cards:** each card as a row that expands to its full punch-card grid of all benefits and periods.
4. **Reset dates.** Per card, let me choose "resets on": Calendar year (Jan 1) or Card anniversary (with a date I enter). Annual benefits anchor their cycle to that date and show "renews [date]"; cards needing a date show a gentle "set reset date" nudge. (Monthly/quarterly/semi-annual stay on the calendar, that's accurate to how cards work.)
5. **ROI stats.** A dark "metal card" hero panel up top showing: **Available to claim now** (big number), benefits captured this year, total annual potential, total annual fees, and net (captured minus fees), with a progress bar.
6. **AI benefit research.** When adding a custom card, a "Research benefits with AI" button that calls the Anthropic API (model `claude-sonnet-4-6`, max_tokens 1000, no API key needed in-artifact) and asks it to return ONLY a JSON array of recurring credits `[{name, value, cadence, note}]` for that card name, then populates the editable benefit list. Flag AI results as "verify."
7. **Sharing via "spaces."** On first open, the user creates a new space (generate a short random code) or joins one with a code. ALL data is namespaced to that code so each space is isolated. Partners join the same code to sync; anyone else who opens the link creates their own space and gets a fresh private copy of the same card templates. Include a Share panel that shows the code with copy + instructions, plus a "switch space" option.
## Technical requirements (important, these prevent real bugs)
- **Persist with `window.storage`** (the artifact persistent key-value API), NOT localStorage. Space data (cards, check-offs) uses `shared: true` storage keyed by the space code; the active space code and the user's name use personal `shared: false` storage.
- **Never block first render on storage.** Render instantly with seeded/in-memory data and hydrate from storage in the background. Wrap every storage read in a try/catch AND race it against a ~1.5s timeout so a slow or missing storage bridge can't hang the app (this is what breaks it on the mobile app otherwise).
- **Use ONLY core Tailwind utility classes**, no arbitrary values like `text-[15px]`, `bg-black/40`, or `max-h-[90vh]`, because the artifact environment has no Tailwind compiler. For exact values (overlay opacity, custom heights, frosted accents) use inline `style`.
- Mobile-friendly: large tap targets, responsive layout, bottom-sheet modals on small screens.
- Use `lucide-react` for icons. Default-export the component.
## Design
Apple-like and premium: soft layered gray gradient background, white rounded-2xl cells that float on it like an iOS grouped list, a graphite gradient hero panel, restrained neutral palette with one accent color per card issuer, generous spacing, subtle shadows. Clean, not busy.
## Pre-load these cards with researched, current benefits

Make it production-quality and ready to use.
Good To Know
The cards come pre-loaded as a starting point. Always confirm amounts and reset dates against your card issuer's benefits page, since perks change by card and by year.
