timeline-builder

timeline-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zebbern/claude-code-guide. It costs 74 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for interactive timeline pages from JSON data. It creates static HTML layouts for events such as milestones, company histories, and résumés, with expandable details and responsive display.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish project milestones, release histories, company timelines, event sequences, or résumé timelines in vertical, horizontal, or side-by-side layouts.
Why use it?
Hand-building an interactive timeline takes repeated layout and browser code. This turns structured event data into a page that can open directly in a browser.

About the project

Claude Code Guide is a reference collection for configuring and using Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. Developers use it to learn commands, skills, agents, MCP, automation, security, integrations, and troubleshooting. Its catalogue add-ons provide many of the documented skills and agents.

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

timeline-builder 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_timeline.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Timeline Builder

Generate beautiful interactive timeline HTML pages from JSON configuration data, with three layout modes:

  1. Vertical layout (vertical) — A classic top-to-bottom timeline with event cards alternating on either side of the axis
  2. Horizontal layout (horizontal) — A horizontally scrollable timeline, best for displaying fewer events
  3. Dual-side layout (dual-side) — Events are placed on the left or right based on the side field, great for side-by-side comparisons

All layouts support:

  • Click to expand/collapse event details
  • Mobile-friendly responsive design
  • Custom theme colors, icons, and category labels
  • Pure static HTML with zero dependencies — opens directly in any browser

Usage

Basic: Generate from a JSON config file

python3 scripts/generate_timeline.py --config timeline_data.json --output timeline.html

Read JSON from stdin

cat timeline_data.json | python3 scripts/generate_timeline.py --stdin --output timeline.html

Override layout mode (takes precedence over config file)

python3 scripts/generate_timeline.py --config data.json --layout horizontal --output timeline.html

JSON Configuration Format

{
  "title": "Project Milestones",
  "layout": "vertical",
  "theme": {
    "primaryColor": "#2563eb",

      "category": "Milestone",
      "color": "#10b981",
      "side": "left"
    }
  ]
}

CLI Arguments

Argument Description
--config, -c Path to the JSON config file (mutually exclusive with --stdin)
--stdin Read JSON from standard input
--output, -o Output HTML file path (defaults to stdout)
--layout, -l Override layout mode: vertical, horizontal, dual-side
--title, -t Override the timeline title

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
