html-effectiveness

html-effectiveness is a skill for Claude Code from ANcpLua/ancplua-claude-plugins. It costs 242 tokens per session (2,306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that creates a self-contained HTML file for reports and other structured outputs instead of returning a long block of plain text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reports, dashboards, triage boards, design documents, code reviews, flowcharts, slide decks, postmortems, and implementation plans.
Why use it?
HTML can show layout, spatial relationships, and interactive elements that are difficult to represent in ordinary markdown.

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

html-effectiveness 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

html-effectiveness

Based on Thariq Shihipar's html-effectiveness repo. He works on Claude Code at Anthropic; the philosophy: agents producing HTML files instead of markdown walls because HTML carries spatial information and interaction that markdown flattens.

Canonical source — vendored in-tree

The 20 canonical patterns ship with this plugin as standalone .html files under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/html-effectiveness/references/patterns/ (one per pattern.file, e.g. 01-exploration-code-approaches.html … 20-editor-prompt-tuner.html). No clone, no network, no external setup — the plugin carries its own source of truth and works on any machine. They are the upstream reference (Apache-2.0, see references/patterns/UPSTREAM-LICENSE): read them to learn the pattern, then write a new file with the user's data into the user's project area (default: ~/<task>/<slug>.html or alongside related artifacts) — never edit the vendored references in place.

Decision protocol

  1. Load the routing data. Read references/patterns.json from this skill folder. It contains 20 canonical patterns and a decision_tree mapping user-intent phrases (English + German + semantic) to use_pattern IDs. The triggering_principles block at the top tells you HOW to match (fuzzy, multilingual, typo-tolerant, intent-based — not literal).

  2. Match user intent. Scan the user's request for semantic fit with any entry in decision_tree. Match on intent regardless of language, case, or typos. If multiple patterns fit, pick the one whose key_pattern field most closely describes the data structure the user has. If still ambiguous, prefer the more interactive pattern (editor > report > diagram).

  3. Study the canonical source. Open ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/html-effectiveness/references/patterns/<pattern.file> and read it end-to-end. Don't paraphrase the pattern — internalize the HTML structure, CSS tokens, JS interaction code, and copy-button mechanism. Reuse the same eyebrow / h1 / sub / sticky-toolbar / column / card markup so the output feels like one family.

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.
