html-prototype

A specialist guide for creating polished, responsive HTML mockups and interactive prototypes. A mockup shows a proposed design, while a prototype also lets people test actions such as navigation, input, and feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build self-contained HTML artifacts that test layout, typography, colors, product fit, navigation, forms, state changes, transitions, or error recovery.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right level of detail for the product question being explored. It also keeps the design grounded in the project’s existing context and visual language.

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-prototype 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 yesterday.

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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HTML Prototype

Build a credible model of a product decision. Match the artifact to the user's context instead of applying a recurring house style. The goal is not to make every possible screen. The goal is to make the important visual or behavioral question testable.

Choose the fidelity mode

Use one of two modes:

  • Mockup: Create a polished, responsive, mostly static artifact when the open question is visual hierarchy, layout, typography, color, or product fit.
  • Prototype: Create a working flow when the open question is navigation, input, state change, feedback, recovery, or transition.

Do not create a separate html-mockup skill. Do not add behavior merely to make a mockup seem more complete. If a user asks for both modes, preserve the same content and structure so changes in fidelity remain easy to compare.

Derive the direction from context

Inspect the conversation, supplied references, and project before designing. Look for design-system documentation, tokens, existing components, product screenshots, and nearby artifacts.

Authority runs in this order:

  1. The user's explicit visual and functional instructions.
  2. The project's established design language and interaction conventions.
  3. The product, audience, content, and scenario.
  4. Your own design judgment.

Before coding, settle:

  • the user and critical job;
  • the bounded scenario under review;
  • mockup or prototype mode;
  • the source of the visual direction;
  • the relevant state model;
  • the point where the real product would take over.

When no design system exists, create a specific direction from the subject and use case. Do not default to a gradient, a dark dashboard, interchangeable cards, or decorative metrics. A prototype for a field tool, an editorial workflow, and a financial approval should not feel like the same product.

When design-artifact is available and the visual direction remains open, read and compose it with this skill. Use it to choose the register, palette, type, and composition; keep this skill authoritative for fidelity, state, and interaction completeness.

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.

html-prototype is a skill published in the GitHub repository plannotator/effective-html (2,735 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 1,167 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
