A squat two-column press with a glass hopper spilling raw pieces into a tray of five differently shaped sockets beneath a blank die head; a diagonal cut opens the bed into hatched section and bone-grey outline, and a sky-blue line runs from the hopper into the round socket, through a channel under the finished tablet and into an outlet ring.

HTML

Renders the current session output as a self-contained, designed HTML artifact via a deterministic renderer that owns all layout from typed JSON

Key Points

Not for ISAs (ISARender.ts is the canonical ISA renderer), deployed sites or web apps, web UI design systems (Webdesign), static images or diagrams (Art), or writing the analysis itself

Inside the Skill

The thinking, frameworks, and architecture that distinguish this skill from a generic version of the same task.

Ideal State

  • Any session output becomes one self-contained, Artifact-safe HTML file that makes zero external requests and renders for the owner.
  • Layout, typography and color come entirely from Tools/Render.ts registers; the model supplies only typed content JSON, so no hand-styled one-off ships.
  • The artifact is verified before hand-off — published through the Artifact tool and pixel-checked.

Intent Routing

Intent Trigger File
Render /HTML, "HTML artifact", "render this as HTML" Intents/Render.md

Data & Config

No user configuration: registers are defined in Tools/Render.ts, which embeds fonts found in ~/Library/Fonts, /Library/Fonts or /System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental (macOS font folders; with none present it falls back to system font stacks). Publishing needs the Claude Code Artifact tool and its artifact-design skill; without them Render.ts still writes the local HTML file.

Gotchas

  • DOM-render screenshot pipelines drop CSS pseudo-element generated content (counters, ::before labels render in the browser but vanish from DOM-render captures, and they're invisible to text extraction). Render.ts therefore emits all numbering and labels as real DOM text. Never add CSS counters to a register. (Discovered 2026-07-11.)
  • Artifacts block all external requests — a Google Fonts <link> fails silently and you get the fallback stack. Embed via data-URI @font-face (Render.ts does this when the register's font file exists locally) or design on system stacks.
  • The artifact viewer wraps your file in its own document skeleton — emit <title> + <style> + body content only; no <!doctype>/<html>/<head>/<body> tags.
  • A published artifact is private to its owner's claude.ai account — verifying it in a browser signed into a different account/org 404s. Verify the render by serving the HTML file locally and capturing that; verify publication via the Artifact tool's list action.
  • Numbered section markers must mean something. Render.ts numbers sections (document order — legitimate). Don't number list items unless the content is a true sequence; use list blocks with bold lead-ins instead.

Examples

Example 1: After a research or red-team session

User: "/HTML"
→ Render intent
→ The session's findings, quotes and sources are published as a `dossier` artifact, its local render pixel-checked, and the URL handed over with a one-line description

Example 2: Different subject, different register

User: "render the quarterly cost analysis as HTML"
→ Render intent
→ A `ledger` artifact with tables and callouts, the register that fits a cost report

How to Invoke

Say any of these to your DA and LifeOS activates the HTML skill automatically:

  • "/HTML"
  • "HTML artifact"
  • "render this as HTML"
  • "make this an HTML page"
  • "artifact of this analysis"
  • "designed HTML output"

Or invoke explicitly:

Skill("HTML")
