Agent Skill

HTML skill

htmlplannotator/effective-htmlskills/html/SKILL.md

Create or redesign self-contained single-file HTML artifacts with a visual direction shaped by the user's brief, project, and subject. Use when HTML is the deliverable for a report, explainer, landing page, presentation, tool, mixed artifact, or broad request. This is the collection's only implicit router. Route clear wireframe, prototype, mockup, plan, or diagram requests to the matching direct-invocation specialist when available. Do not use for ordinary application implementation when a standalone HTML file is not the deliverable.

Install the HTML skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/plannotator/effective-html --skill html

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/plannotator/effective-html.git /tmp/effective-html
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/effective-html/skills/html ~/.claude/skills/html

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

Until it is used, html costs about 13× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 7 skills from plannotator/effective-html would load 504 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
