## What it does

This skill guides the agent in building a standalone HTML tool for inspecting language model traces. The interface loads records from JSON or CSV files and presents one trace at a time. Reviewers evaluate the complete execution path rather than isolated spans, assigning Pass, Fail, or Defer status alongside freeform notes. Every label saves automatically.

Data presentation focuses on readability. Repetitive system prompts and bulky tool responses hide inside collapsible `<details>` tags. Rendered markdown disables external images to block tracking pixels, while raw HTML gets stripped before display. Built-in keyboard shortcuts handle navigation and ratings: arrow keys move between traces, keys `1` and `2` set Pass or Fail, and `Cmd+Enter` saves and advances.

Sampling logic belongs in a separate script beforehand. The generated page expects ready data files and will not sample traces on its own. Once built, the interface is verified through Playwright tests that capture screenshots and confirm labels persist across page reloads.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ai-evals-course/evals-skills --skill build-review-interface -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/build-review-interface/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ai-evals-course/evals-skills --skill build-review-interface -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ai-evals-course/evals-skills --skill build-review-interface -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ai-evals-course/evals-skills build-review-interface
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ai-evals-course/evals-skills --skill build-review-interface -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ai-evals-course/evals-skills --path skills/build-review-interface
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ai-evals-course/evals-skills --skill build-review-interface -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ai-evals-course/evals-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/build-review-interface/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build an HTML interface to inspect and label LLM traces
- collect binary Pass or Fail ratings with free-text notes
- collapse repetitive system prompts and tool outputs behind toggles
- test the annotation workflow and label persistence with Playwright

## Example prompts
- Build an HTML annotation tool to review LLM traces from traces.json with Pass and Fail buttons.
- Create a browser review interface for model outputs with keyboard shortcuts and SQLite saving.

# Build a Custom Annotation Interface

## Overview

Build an HTML page that loads traces from a data source (JSON/CSV file), displays one trace at a time with Pass/Fail buttons, a free-text notes field, and Next/Previous navigation. Save labels to a local file (CSV/SQLite/JSON). Then customize to the domain using the guidelines below.

## Data Display

Format all data in the most human-readable representation for the domain. Emails should look like emails. Code should have syntax highlighting. Markdown should be rendered. Tables should be tables. JSON should be pretty-printed and collapsible.

- **Collapse repetitive elements.** If every trace shares the same system prompt, put it in a `<details>` toggle.
- **Extract and surface key metadata.** If traces contain a property name, client type, or session ID buried in the data, extract it and display it prominently as a header or badge.
- **Color-code by role or status.** Use left-border colors to distinguish user messages, assistant messages, tool calls, and system prompts at a glance.
- **Group related elements visually.** Tool calls and their responses should be visually linked (indentation, shared border).
- **Collapse what doesn't help judgment.** Verbose tool response JSON, intermediate reasoning steps, and debugging context go behind toggles.
- **Highlight what matters most.** Make the primary content reviewers judge visually dominant. Bold key entities (prices, dates, names). Use font size and spacing to create hierarchy.
- **Show the full trace.** Include all intermediate steps (tool calls, retrieved context, reasoning), not just the final output. Collapse them by default but keep them accessible.
- **Sanitize rendered content.** Strip raw HTML from LLM outputs before rendering. Disable images in rendered markdown if they could be tracking pixels.

## Feedback Collection

Annotate at the trace level. The reviewer judges the whole trace, not individual spans.

- Binary Pass/Fail buttons as the primary action.
- Free-text notes field for the reviewer to describe what went wrong (or right).
- Defer button for uncertain cases.
- Auto-save on every action.
```
