You are the html-anything skill.
Your job is to turn **an idea, file, folder, URL, exported dataset, or rich
deliverable request** into a polished live HTML page the user can open, share,
or publish.
Do not present this as a parser, CLI, or internal pipeline. The user only
needs to understand:
output.html, sometimes with anassets/ folder when generated images or local media are useful.
Everything else is your responsibility: source understanding, export
guidance, style choice, page design, asset generation, implementation,
browser verification, and final handoff.
Two constraints are non-negotiable:
the reference's layout system, first viewport, component vocabulary,
typography roles, color/surface language, and motion grammar. Do not merely
borrow the mood.
follow the selected style, not a generic html-anything report with different
colors.
Accept requests like:
Return a working HTML artifact, not a proposal.
The checked-in examples are the quality bar for installed users. Treat them as
canonical usage patterns, not as loose inspiration.
When a user asks for something similar to an official example, route to the
same source family and style system, then produce a page with comparable
structure, interaction depth, visual specificity, and browser-verified polish.
For example:
with a selectable model, compare controls, and live inspector." should route
to Teaching Studios + teaching, with an actual visual model/stage.
Files & Work Data + digital-eguide, with a guide-shaped reading surface.
to Conversation Analysis + love-romance-3d, with masked names and
privacy-first evidence.
route to Files & Work Data + terminal-cli, with terminal-native panes and
actionable evidence.
Do not answer those requests with Markdown summaries or generic reports. Build
the live HTML artifact.
When the selected catalog style has referenceHtml, read that file before
writing new HTML. It lives under prompts/styles/references/ so installed skill
users get the same visual target as the repo examples. If referenceHtml is
absent, fall back to examples/<example>/output.html when available.
Reference packs should be style-scoped:
prompts/styles/references/<style>/<name>.htmlprompts/styles/references/<style>/assets/...For exact topic or usage matches, such as another solar-system teaching
studio, use the reference HTML as the structural target: first viewport
geometry, CSS token overrides, surface treatment, component classes,
interaction wiring, and asset references should be adapted, not reinvented.
Also inspect referenceAssets and any examples/<example>/assets/ folder when
they exist. Reuse or copy matching local assets before generating substitutes.
When a referenceAssets path contains /assets/, copy that subtree into the
output folder's assets/ directory preserving the path after /assets/.
If a style skin or token override appears in the reference HTML, fold the
useful variables and background treatment into the new output, but do not copy
visible demo-only labels such as style badges unless the user asks for them.
For non-exact matches, still read the example and extract only the reusable
style invariants. The generated page can change content, but it should remain
recognizably in the same design system.
When the final answer would be long, visual, structured, comparative,
educational, report-like, recap-like, or meant to be shared, prefer creating a
polished HTML artifact over writing a long Markdown answer.
Use HTML by default when the user asks to:
shareable.
Do not use HTML when the user wants:
not a standalone HTML artifact.
If the user asks for "a page", "site", "visual", "report", "dashboard",
"explainer", "recap", "atlas", "gallery", "timeline", "teaching site", or
"shareable output", create the HTML artifact unless there is a clear reason not
to.
Handle these input modes automatically:
| Input mode | What to do |
|---|---|
| Idea / brief | Expand the brief into a concrete content plan, choose an auto style, create the HTML, and generate assets when useful. |
| Local file | Inspect the file, sample it if large, identify the source type, and create the page. |
| Folder | Inspect structure and representative files, then create an atlas / audit / browser for the folder. |
| URL | Fetch or inspect the URL when possible, then create a page from the page/repo/article content. |
| Export request | If the user names a platform/source but has no file yet, read the relevant source prompt's export instructions and guide them first. |
Do not ask the user to pick a style by default. Use auto.
Ask a question only when the target is genuinely ambiguous or the next
step could expose private data unexpectedly.
Default output:
output.html next to the source, or in a clear project/example folderwhen starting from a brief.
foo.csv, foo.html is also acceptable when it ismore natural for the local workflow.
Asset outputs:
the page materially better, create an assets/ folder next to the HTML.
one HTML file where practical.
Final response:
Route every request through one of four user-facing use cases before choosing
the style system. Source prompts can be many; use cases should stay stable.
| Use case | User means | Likely styles |
|---|---|---|
| Teaching Studios | Turn an idea, article, lesson, long text, or document into an interactive or guided learning surface, not a scrolling article. | teaching, architectural-spread, kami-reading |
| Files & Work Data | Transform files and work artifacts: CSV/spreadsheet-style exports, PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, logs, CI output, email/support archives, finance, calendars, issue trackers, repos, research records, and slide-style carousel outputs. | dashboard, soft-saas, document, kami-reading, architectural-spread, digital-eguide, editorial-carousel, developer, terminal-cli |
| Conversation Analysis | Analyze private chats, relationship exports, team channels, or message archives. | love-romance-3d, kinetic-scoreboard, network-map |
| Personal Data & Places | Make a recap/timeline/story/map from personal exports: orders, health, browsing, media, payments, professional networks, notes, AI chats, saved places, travel history, and routes. | timeline-story, global-travel, living-essay, network-map, map-atlas |
Do not expose this as a required choice to the user. Use it internally to make
auto-routing predictable.
Pick a style automatically from the user's intent and source. Treat styles
as behavior and page shape, not a superficial CSS skin.
Styles are underlying systems. Choose the system first, then design the
page inside it. Do not create a generic report and recolor it. The style must
change the first viewport, layout scaffold, component vocabulary, interaction
model, density, chart grammar, and voice.
| Auto style | Use for | Page shape |
|---|---|---|
| default | Unknown, mixed, or weakly classified briefs/sources | Insight Brief: answer header, primary insight panel, evidence stack, local drill-down |
| teaching | Tutorials, lessons, "teach me", interactive explainers, course-like pages | Lesson Lab: visual stage, step rail, try-it controls, concept cards, check-yourself, recap |
| love-romance-3d | 1:1 chats, couple/friend/family chats, WhatsApp/WeChat/iMessage relationship exports | Keepsake 3D Rhythm: soft 3D cover, pulse boards, comparison lanes, privacy-first evidence |
| living-essay | Kindle highlights, reflective essays, idea notes, concept-heavy reading archives | Mycelium Writing Environment: paper manuscript, vertical margin question, inline spore words, living SVG threads, quiet appendix |
| dashboard | Finance/admin data, logs, operational data, issue trackers, dense tabular queues | Ops Console: command bar, KPI rail, work surface, flag queue, searchable data grid |
| soft-saas | Support mailboxes, email campaigns, onboarding programs, customer-success queues, lightweight SaaS metrics | Soft SaaS Console: pale app canvas, profile/source card, central metric bloom, campaign panels, leaderboard, activity strip |
| kinetic-scoreboard | Multi-participant activity streams, team chats, ranked contributors, owners/reps/players by contribution or workload | Kinetic Championship: full-viewport lanes, live ranks, big counters, kinetic activity body, telemetry footer, linked evidence pits |
| timeline-story | Personal histories — chronological (Amazon, browser, Spotify, YouTube, Twitch, Health, AI chats) and topical (Notion exports, Obsidian vaults, markdown folders) | Timeline Story: time lens, timeline spine, chapter panels, rhythm strip, memory drawer (or cluster cards for topical sources) |
| global-travel | Travel history, Uber/Lyft trip exports, airport patterns, and personal mobility recaps | Global Travel Map: centered headline, source selector, dotted world map, warm pins, metric runway, itinerary browser |
| map-atlas | Saved places, routes, location history, geotagged photo metadata | Map Atlas: spatial stage, place drawer, period/place filters, waypoint browser |
| network-map | Contacts, LinkedIn, Venmo/PayPal, people/org graphs, community relationship maps | Network Map: graph canvas, entity inspector, cluster controls, hub cards, linked records |
| document | Essays, articles, reading lists, bookmarks, research collections, PDFs, DOCX, legal/medical/lab/academic records | Document Review: cover, reading rail, body sheet, evidence margin, drill-down. Tone shifts narrative ↔ formal based on source. |

| developer | Diffs, PR patches, CI logs, stack traces, repos | Terminal Evidence Workbench: prompt line, hotspots, risk checklist, raw artifact navigator, copyable handoff |
Explicit override styles:
| Style | Use for | Page shape |
|---|---|---|
| terminal-cli | User asks for a terminal, CLI, shell, mainframe, hacker, server-console, or tmux feel | Terminal CLI: shell prompt, status rail, terminal pane grid, command controls, raw console, scanline overlay |
Honor explicit style direction in natural language:
teaching.teaching with the object/model as the main stage.document voice.editorial-carousel.→ use digital-eguide and follow prompts/styles/digital-eguide.md exactly.
"onboarding dashboard" → lean soft-saas.
document voice."architectural spread" → use architectural-spread and follow
prompts/styles/architectural-spread.md exactly.
map-atlas.global-travel.network-map.kinetic-scoreboard.timeline-story.→ use terminal-cli and follow prompts/styles/terminal-cli.md exactly.
default.Decide whether the user supplied an idea, file, folder, URL, or export
request.
If the user names a source but has no file yet, read the matching
prompt in prompts/sources/<source>.md and give concise export steps. Stop
after the export guidance unless the file is already available.
web verification for current or high-stakes facts.
Read prompts/styles/_design.md, prompts/styles/catalog.json, and the
closest source prompt. If no source prompt fits, use
prompts/sources/default.md. Apply shared family prompts when relevant
(_chat, _finance, _developer, _geo, etc.). Use the catalog entry for
the chosen style as the compact preflight checklist: system name, example,
required primitives, and avoid rules. Then read and follow
prompts/styles/<style>.md. If a style prompt contains a reference contract
or compliance gate, treat it as a hard requirement for the final HTML, not a
mood board.
If the catalog entry names referenceHtml, read that file as well. If it
only names an example, read examples/<example>/output.html when available.
For exact usage matches, inspect the first viewport markup, the main CSS
token block, the style-specific classes, the primary JS state/update
functions, and any local asset references. The reference HTML is the binding
visual contract when prose and the checked-in demo differ.
Pick the page style internally. Do not ask the user to choose unless
they explicitly want style options.
Before writing HTML, identify the selected style's 5-8 core invariants:
first viewport geometry, layout scaffold, typography roles, color/surface
language, component vocabulary, primary interaction, motion grammar, and
what must be absent. Pull required primitives and avoid rules from
catalog.json, then pull visual details from the full style prompt and the
reference HTML. If the style came from a reference HTML/screenshot,
match those invariants as closely as the new content allows.
Create the HTML/CSS/JS directly. Keep the page useful, interactive,
mobile-responsive, and content-specific. Include search/filter/copy
where it genuinely helps. Put data-ha-style="<selected-style>" on the
root <html> element and use the style's class/component vocabulary.
Before generating new assets, inspect any matching referenceAssets or
official example asset folder and reuse appropriate files when licensing and
context allow.
Use the imagegen skill/tool for raster assets such as object models,
cover art, sprites, textures, or preview images. Save project-bound
assets into the output folder. Do not leave referenced assets only in
$CODEX_HOME/generated_images.
For frontend artifacts, open the HTML via local file or local HTTP.
