| description | Generate a single self-contained HTML file for human-in-the-loop evaluation of model output. The reviewer opens it in a browser, makes per-item judgments (pick the matching candidate(s), choose one, rate on a scale, yes/no, or free-text correction), and exports their decisions as JSON. Use when you have analysis output — candidate matches, rankings, classifications, translations, extractions — that a human needs to review, confirm, score, or correct. |

Human-Eval Review Skill
Turn analysis output into a single self-contained HTML review file. A human opens it
in any browser (no server, no build step, no internet), works through the items, and clicks
Download Results to export their judgments as JSON. Progress is autosaved in the browser,
and a previous results file can be re-loaded to resume.
This generalizes a family of "did the model get it right?" review tasks into one builder.
When to Use
- You ran a matching / retrieval / classification / extraction / translation step and a human
needs to confirm, correct, score, or rank the output before it's trusted.
- You want a clean review UI you can hand to a collaborator who has only a browser.
- You're building a labeled gold set from model proposals.
Critical: Things Claude Won't Know Without This Skill
The output is ONE file, rendered from embedded data
scripts/review_builder.py substitutes your data into scripts/template.html and writes a
complete HTML file with the CSS, the renderer JS, and the data all inline. There is no CDN and
no dependency. The reviewer can be fully offline.
You shape the data; the page renders it
The renderer is data-driven. You produce a {"config": {...}, "items": [...]} structure
(directly, or via the ReviewBuilder API), and the page builds itself. To support a new
review task you change the data, never the template.
excerpt is the only field rendered as HTML — use <mark> for highlights
In a candidate, excerpt is injected as HTML so you can wrap matched spans in <mark>…</mark>
(rendered as a yellow highlight, exactly like the examples). All other fields (title,
reason, source, notes) are inserted as plain text and are safe. Only put trusted,
builder-generated HTML in excerpt.
Five question types cover most eval shapes
type | Reviewer does | "Reviewed" when |
|---|
match | checks any matching candidates (multi-select) | ≥1 candidate or None checked |
single | picks one candidate (radio) | one candidate or None chosen |
rating | clicks a value on a scale (e.g. 1–5) | a value is chosen |
boolean | clicks Yes / No | either chosen |
text | types a correction | the box is non-empty |
allow_none: true adds a "None of the above" option (mutually exclusive with candidates).
notes: true adds an optional free-text notes box to any question. An item can hold several
questions (e.g. one per sub-entry) — progress counts questions, not items.
Excluded candidates stay selectable
Candidates you put in excluded render inside a collapsed "Show N excluded candidates"
<details> block. They're still selectable, so a reviewer can rescue one the system wrongly
dropped — useful for catching false negatives.
CJK text needs cjk: true
Set cjk: true (and an appropriate lang, e.g. zh-Hant) to enable word-break: break-all
so long unbroken Chinese strings wrap. The default theme is a serif "manuscript" look; override
any CSS variable via theme (see references/review_format.md).
Workflow
1. Point at the analysis output and shape it
Read whatever the upstream step produced (CSV, JSON, JSONL, markdown table) and map it onto
items + questions. The fluent builder is usually the most direct:
from scripts.review_builder import ReviewBuilder
rb = ReviewBuilder(
title="Deed Matching Review",
subtitle="Fufang Will vs. Jitou Collection",
lang="zh-Hant", cjk=True,
result_filename="deed_review_results.json",
)
for row in analysis_rows:
item = rb.add_item(source=row["deed_text"], heading=f"Entry {row['n']}")
q = item.add_question(type="match", allow_none=True, notes=True)
for cand in row["candidates"][:5]:
q.add_candidate(
id=cand["doc_id"], label=cand["doc_id"], title=cand["title"],
excerpt=cand.get("excerpt"),
score=cand.get("score"), reason=cand.get("reason"),
preselected=cand.get("score", 0) >= 90,
)
for cand in row["candidates"][5:]:
q.add_excluded(id=cand["doc_id"], label=cand["doc_id"], title=cand["title"],
score=cand.get("score"))
rb.save_html("deed_review.html")
Other question types:
item.add_question(type="single", allow_none=True)
item.add_question(type="rating",
scale={"min": 1, "max": 5,
"labels": {"1": "1 Poor", "5": "5 Excellent"},
"caption": "Judge fidelity and fluency."})
item.add_question(type="boolean", labels={"yes": "Correct", "no": "Incorrect"})
item.add_question(type="text", placeholder="Enter the corrected transcription", rows=3)
2. Generate the file
rb.save_html("review.html") — or, if you assembled a data dict / JSON file instead:
python scripts/review_builder.py data.json -o review.html
where data.json is {"config": {...}, "items": [...]} (get this shape from rb.to_dict() /
rb.to_json()). Then open it:
open review.html
xdg-open review.html
3. Review, export, resume
- The reviewer works top to bottom; the header bar shows live progress and a green Reviewed
badge appears on each completed card.
- Keyboard:
j/k (or ↑/↓) move between questions, 1–9 select the Nth option / rating,
n toggles None, ? shows help.
- Work is autosaved to the browser continuously; reopening the same file restores it and
shows a "Restored your in-progress review" banner (Start over clears it).
- Download Results writes the JSON. Load re-imports a downloaded results file to resume
on another machine.
4. Read the results JSON back
{
"title": "Deed Matching Review",
"exported_at": "2026-05-27T12:00:00.000Z",
"reviewed_count": 18, "total": 20,
"results": [
{"item_id": "1", "question_id": "q1", "type": "match", "reviewed": true,
"source": "毛陳氏賣契壹紙…", "selected": ["7-2-15-2"], "none": false, "notes": ""},
{"item_id": "3", "question_id": "q1", "type": "single", "reviewed": true,
"selected": [], "none": true},
{"item_id": "5", "question_id": "q1", "type": "rating", "reviewed": true, "rating": 4},
{"item_id": "6", "question_id": "q1", "type": "boolean", "reviewed": true, "value": false},
{"item_id": "7", "question_id": "q1", "type": "text", "reviewed": true, "text": "…"}
]
}
Each result carries item_id + question_id (the join keys), type, reviewed, and the
type-specific answer. Use it to build gold labels, compute agreement, or feed the next step.
Best Practices
- Pre-select high-confidence proposals (
preselected=True) so the reviewer confirms by
exception rather than selecting everything from scratch — but only when scores are reliable.
- Show the model's reasoning. Populate
reason and <mark> the matched span in excerpt;
it dramatically speeds up adjudication.
- Keep the visible candidate list short (top ~5) and push the long tail into
excluded.
- One question per decision. For sub-entry tasks, add multiple questions to one item rather
than cramming choices together — progress and results stay clean.
- Set a stable
storage_key in config if the title changes between runs but you want the
browser autosave to carry over (otherwise autosave keys off the title).
