html-output

A skill that creates one self-contained HTML file for complex information such as dashboards, reports, comparison tables, timelines, and diagrams. HTML is the file format used to display pages in a web browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Rendering analytical reports, dashboards, comparison tables, flow diagrams, timelines, and data explainers with a consistent visual style.
Why use it?
It packages the whole visual deliverable into one shareable file when a browser layout is clearer than plain text.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

html-output scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HTML Output

Produce a single self-contained .html file as the deliverable when complex information would be clearer in a browser than in markdown. Designed to be invoked directly by a human (/html-output) or as a styling/format layer by another skill that needs to ship an HTML artifact.

When to use HTML over markdown

Use HTML when ANY of the following is true:

  • The information has ≥3 dimensions that benefit from spatial layout (dashboards, comparison matrices, decision tables).
  • The deliverable includes a diagram (flowchart, sequence, tree, timeline, architecture map).
  • The reader will want to copy, export, print, or filter sections.
  • The output is a one-off shareable artifact (report, brief, explainer) — not a doc that lives in the vault.
  • Another skill explicitly hands off to this one.

Otherwise, stay in markdown.

Process

1. Classify the request into an archetype

Pick exactly one starting template from assets/templates/:

Archetype Template When
Dashboard dashboard.html KPIs + multi-panel status (3+ metric tiles)
Report report.html Long-form analysis with sections, pull quotes, charts
Comparison comparison-table.html Side-by-side options, scoring matrices, vendor evaluation
Mermaid diagram diagram-mermaid.html Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state machines, mind maps
SVG diagram diagram-svg.html Custom diagrams Mermaid cannot express, hand-crafted layouts
Timeline timeline.html Chronological events, roadmaps, project history
Data explainer data-explainer.html One chart + narrative — Chart.js-driven story
Consulting deck slide-deck.html McKinsey/BCG-style 16:9 slides with action titles, exhibit chrome, 2×2 / waterfall / MECE layouts

If the request blends two archetypes (e.g. dashboard + diagram), pick the dominant one and embed the secondary as a section.

For consulting decks specifically: also read references/consulting-patterns.md — action titles, MECE structure, chart archetypes (2×2, waterfall, Marimekko), exhibit-numbering rules.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

html-output is a skill published in the GitHub repository Agent-Engineer-Master/skill-engineer (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 212 tokens to every session and 2,383 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
