html-over-markdown

html-over-markdown is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from happycapy-ai/Happycapy-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,572 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing format that produces one self-contained HTML document instead of Markdown, with visual layout, diagrams, images, and optional interaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating specifications, plans, reports, code explanations, design comparisons, slide decks, flowcharts, and small interactive editors.
Why use it?
Markdown turns visual information such as comparisons and dependency relationships into a long stream of text. An HTML file can make that information easier to scan and share in a web browser.

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-over-markdown 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 11d 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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HTML Over Markdown

Produce a single self-contained .html file as the primary output format instead of Markdown.

Why this exists

Markdown flattens spatial information — diffs, dependency graphs, side-by-side comparisons — into linear text. It has no color, no diagrams, no interaction, and people rarely read past ~100 lines. HTML trades a document the user would skim for one they would actually read.

Concrete wins over Markdown:

  • Information density: tables, SVG, CSS, scripts, images — all in one file
  • Visual clarity: tabs, collapsible sections, responsive layout, typographic hierarchy
  • Sharing: one link, any browser, no special viewer
  • Two-way interaction: sliders, toggles, editors, and a copy-back-to-prompt loop
  • Expressiveness: no more ASCII diagrams or unicode color approximations

When to use vs. skip

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • A spec, plan, proposal, brainstorm, or multi-option exploration
  • A PR writeup, code review, or code/feature explainer
  • A report — status, research, incident, weekly
  • A side-by-side comparison of designs, approaches, or benchmarks
  • A slide deck or visual walkthrough
  • A throwaway interactive editor (triage board, feature flags, prompt tuner)
  • Anything they'd "actually want to read" — even without the word HTML

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • The deliverable is a real .pdf / .docx / .pptx / .xlsx file → use those skills
  • The user wants a production web app (multi-file React/Vue/Next) → use frontend-design or artifacts-builder
  • The spec is Git-tracked and teammates need clean diffs → keep Markdown
  • The user wants a poster or visual artwork → use canvas-design
  • The answer is a one-paragraph reply → just answer

If unsure, read references/principles.md → "What this skill is NOT for".

Workflow

  1. Identify the scenario from the 5 families in the table below.
  2. Read the matching section in references/playbook.md for patterns and a prompt template.
  3. Pull reusable snippets from references/snippets.md (grids, diffs, SVG, sliders, export buttons).
  4. Start from assets/base-template.html — it has the default style already wired up. Copy it, then fill in.
  5. Write the result to ./outputs/<descriptive-kebab-case>.html and declare it in the <attachments> block as <file type="static">outputs/<name>.html</file>.
  6. Only if the HTML needs a real server (e.g., fetch, complex event handlers that fail on file://), run python -m http.server 8080 --directory outputs and /app/export-port.sh 8080. For plain static pages, skip this.

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.
