## What it does

This plugin equips Claude Code with 17 distinct skills designed to generate stand-alone HTML files instead of terminal markdown. It handles ERD schemas, slide decks, trade-off matrices, concept maps, and design token showcases. Each artifact bundles its presentation markup and styling directly into the generated file.

Seven interactive skills allow users to modify parameters in the browser and pass the state back to the agent. A built-in skill named `html-skills-listen` spins up a lightweight zero-dependency Node.js HTTP listener on an ephemeral port, relaying submissions into Claude via session monitoring. Running in a sandbox or a remote shell disables the background listener, causing the page to copy raw JSON to the clipboard for manual pasting instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install html-skills@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- render interactive ERD diagrams and deployment maps instead of plain text
- adjust UI component properties using live visual sliders in a browser tab
- execute manual testing checklists and send pass or fail results back to Claude
- evaluate technical options inside a weighted comparison matrix

## Example prompts
- Generate an ERD diagram for our database schema
- Create an interactive playground to test button hover states and spacing
- Build a testing checklist for user onboarding and launch it in the browser

# html-skills

Seventeen Claude Code skills for HTML-output patterns — derived from Thariq's article ["Using Claude Code: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML"](https://x.com/trq212/status/2052809885763747935) — plus two session primitives (`html-skills-listen`, `html-skills-stop`) that send results from the page back to Claude.

## What's in here

| # | Skill | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | `html-spec-planning` | Specs, RFCs, implementation plans, exploration |
| 02 | `html-code-review` | PR explainers, refactor risk maps, codebase tours (PR-explainer pattern folded in) |
| 03 | `html-design-prototypes` | Component design, animation tuning, design systems |
| 04 | `html-research-reports` | Multi-source research synthesis, status reports, incidents |
| 05 | `html-throwaway-editor` | One-off editors that send the edited result back to Claude |
| 06 | `html-interactive-playground` | Sliders/knobs for parameter tuning, two-way interaction |
| 07 | `html-brainstorm-grid` | N-variant comparison grids with tradeoff labels |
| 08 | `html-svg-diagrams` | Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state machines |
| 09 | `html-slideshow-deck` | Keyboard-navigable presentation decks |
| 10 | `html-design-tokens` | Color/type/spacing token showcases (the article's anti-markdown example) |
| 11 | `html-architecture-diagrams` | System maps, deployment topologies |
| 12 | `html-data-explorer` | Filterable tables, faceted search, log viewers |
| 13 | `html-comparison-matrix` | Weighted decision matrices |
| 14 | `html-timeline-roadmap` | Gantt/roadmap/timeline views |
| 15 | `html-erd-explorer` | Database schema visualizations |
| 16 | `html-mind-map` | Branching concept maps that send the tree back |
| 17 | `html-testing-checklist` | Flow-organized testing checklists that send pass/fail results back |

## Design notes

- **Skills are markdown-only; runtime assets are plugin-level**, not per-skill. The skills are about communication patterns and aesthetic guidance, not deterministic transforms; a single `SKILL.md` is the right shape. The shared submit receiver (`server.js`, bundled with the `html-skills-listen` skill) and the submit-handler JS (`assets/submit-handler.js`) live at the plugin root and are referenced by every skill — see "Submit pipeline" below.
- **Pushy descriptions** — each frontmatter `description` is written to fight Claude's tendency to undertrigger. They include explicit phrases ("brainstorm", "compare", "diagram") so the skill triggers even when the user doesn't say "HTML". Trigger phrases that don't fit live in `when_to_use`, a Claude Code frontmatter field the router reads alongside `description` (the pair is truncated at 1,536 characters in the skill listing; skills.sh shows only the description, which stays under 1,024).
- **Shared blocks, repeated by tooling** — every content skill carries the same `## Pre-flight`, `## HTML output foundation`, and (interactive skills) `## Submit pipeline` sections verbatim, because skills are loaded independently and skills.sh reads one `SKILL.md` at a time. They are not hand-maintained: the templates live in `assets/blocks/`, each copy sits between `<!-- block:… -->` markers, and `scripts/sync-skills.py --write` re-syncs them (`--check` fails CI on drift).
- **Browser storage is a reload guard, not a data store** — `localStorage` is allowed under a per-artifact key prefix (`html-skills:<skill>:<artifact-slug>:`) so pages never read each other's state; masked secrets are never stored; Submit/export is still the delivery.

## Submit pipeline for interactive artifacts

Seven skills produce artifacts the user submits back: `html-throwaway-editor`, `html-mind-map`, `html-brainstorm-grid`, `html-comparison-matrix`, `html-interactive-playground`, `html-design-prototypes`, `html-testing-checklist`. Each of those `SKILL.md` files ends with a `## Submit pipeline (server or clipboard)` block describing the contract. Every content skill runs the same pre-flight, because the "Publish to Claude.ai" button (below) uses the same channel.
