render-artifacts

A command that turns Markdown project documents into self-contained HTML pages for viewing and commenting in an annotation tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to render an epic's product, design, and test documents, create linked HTML copies, and share them for human annotation.
Why use it?
It lets people review rendered documents in a browser-like format while keeping the original Markdown files as the editable source.

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 A, and why

render-artifacts scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/render-artifacts — build annotation-ready HTML from epic artifacts

Markdown is the canonical source of every epic artifact (PRD, TECH-DESIGN, TEST-PLAN, IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN…). The produces: paths in workspace.yaml all point at .md, and agents/pipeline re-read .md because it is ~1.5–3× cheaper in tokens. This command does not change that. It only produces a throwaway HTML render next to each .md so a human can open the artifact in an annotation tool (e.g. annotron) and comment on it.

Rule: HTML is a render, not a source. To change content, edit the .md and re-run. Never add this step to a pipeline's produces:.

Usage

/render-artifacts <epic> — e.g. /render-artifacts EPIC-001

Steps

  1. Resolve the artifacts folder: docs/epics/<epic>/artifacts. If it doesn't exist, stop and say so.
  2. Run (zero-dep Node renderer; marked is vendored, so just node — no pip/python):
    node tools/md-to-html.mjs --all docs/epics/<epic>/artifacts
    
    This renders every *.md to a sibling *.html and rewrites cross-links between sibling artifacts (PRD.mdPRD.html), while leaving links that point outside the folder or to external URLs pointing at the canonical source.
  3. Report the written files. Remind the user that the .html files are throwaway annotation copies — edit the .md, not the .html, and re-run to refresh.

Committing

By default treat the HTML as local-only (throwaway). If the artifacts folder is tracked in git and you don't want the renders committed, ensure the folder's .gitignore contains *.html. Only commit an .html when the intent is to share a specific annotated copy.

Single file

To render one artifact:

node tools/md-to-html.mjs docs/epics/<epic>/artifacts/PRD.md
Changes

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.
