html-comparison-matrix

html-comparison-matrix is a skill for Claude Code from f-labs-io/agent-html-skills. It costs 113 tokens per session (3,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive HTML comparison table for evaluating named candidates across several criteria, with optional weights and live re-ranking. HTML is the standard format used to display web pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare products, designs, strategies, tools, or other known candidates using multiple criteria and weighted scores.
Why use it?
It makes trade-offs and hidden priorities visible instead of burying them in a paragraph or an unweighted score.

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-comparison-matrix 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 5d 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.

HTML Comparison Matrix

When picking between candidates on multiple criteria, a comparison matrix beats a paragraph. A weighted matrix beats an unweighted one — weights surface the implicit priorities and let the user argue with their own past judgments.

Phase boundary. This skill handles the evaluative phase of comparison — scoring candidates that already exist. If the user hasn't named candidates yet and is still asking "what are the options" or "show me approaches", hand off to html-brainstorm-grid instead. The boundary signal is whether candidates appear in the prompt: if so, score them here; if not, generate them there. The two skills are designed to compose — generate options there, then evaluate them here.

Pre-flight — run BEFORE writing the artifact

Invoke html-skills:html-skills-listen (Skill tool) first; it is idempotent. If it returns a URL, inject it verbatim as window.__CLAUDE_SUBMIT_URL__ in the HTML you are about to write, ?t= query string included (a local, single-session loopback handshake — not a credential). If it reported web/sandbox mode, leave that line out; submitToClaude then falls back to clipboard mode.

When to use this skill

  • "Compare X, Y, and Z" (libraries, vendors, frameworks, designs)
  • "Which [tool, library, vendor, approach] should we use?"
  • "Help me decide between A and B"
  • "Evaluate [X] against [Y, Z]"
  • Build-vs-buy decisions
  • Anything with multiple named candidates and multiple selection criteria

When NOT to use this skill

  • The user is asking the skill to generate options ("brainstorm approaches", "show me ways"). Use html-brainstorm-grid.
  • Only one candidate is named — no comparison to make. Use html-spec-planning to write up the rationale.
  • The "comparison" is two paragraphs that don't need a weighted scoring system. A simple side-by-side in prose is fine.

Output requirements

The artifact has:

  • A matrix of candidates × criteria
  • Per-criterion weight sliders that update totals live
  • Per-candidate score breakdowns
  • A clear "verdict" pane that updates as weights change
  • One Submit button that sends the configured matrix and current verdict back in the standard envelope
