name	html-express
description	Create structured, readable, self-contained HTML reports from dense information: research notes, comparison matrices, checklists, data dashboards, timelines, and decision pages. Use when a user asks for an HTML report, visual summary, dashboard, comparison page, or a one-file web page they can open locally. The output is a single .html file with inline CSS and no runtime dependencies.

html-express

Use this skill when dense information would be hard to scan in plain Markdown.

The goal is a single self-contained .html file that a user can open locally, share, or archive without a build step.

HTML handles hierarchy, tables, metrics, timelines, and collapsible sections better than Markdown.
A single .html file is portable, inspectable, and easy to share.
Use HTML when the reader would otherwise need to work hard to scan the answer.
Keep simple answers in Markdown.

Signal	Route
Research report, visual summary, comparison matrix, dashboard, checklist, timeline, decision page	Use this skill
One short answer or small list	Answer in Markdown
Production PDF, resume, slide deck, landing page, video, animation, deployment	Use a dedicated tool or skill for that medium

Reusable snippets live in assets/components/.

Component	Use for
`metric-card`	Key numbers and status metrics
`comparison-table`	Comparing options side by side
`data-table`	Structured data lists
`timeline`	Milestones and roadmaps
`checklist`	Steps, SOPs, readiness checks
`quote-card`	Judgments, quotes, or highlighted takeaways
`code-block`	Commands, config, code snippets
`details`	Long content collapsed by default
`badge`	Status labels
`columns`	Parallel views or grouped ideas

Also use:

assets/skeleton.html
assets/tokens.css
assets/demo-all.html

Identify the information shape: comparison, metric, timeline, checklist, quote, code, or decision.
Pick 2-5 fitting components from assets/components/.
Start from assets/skeleton.html.
Inline the full content of assets/tokens.css into the top <style> block so the final file has no external dependency.
Fill real content. Do not leave placeholders. If data is missing, mark it explicitly as [data needed: reason].
Save one .html file and, when possible, open it locally to verify layout and readability.

The bundled default visual system is Warm Paper:

You may replace assets/tokens.css with another brand system, but keep the component classes and self-contained output rule.

Produce exactly one self-contained .html file unless the user asks otherwise.
Inline CSS into the final HTML.
Do not reference local machine paths.
Do not invent metrics, statistics, quotes, or citations.
Do not leave TODO, TBD, Lorem, or placeholder brackets in final user-facing content.
Keep text readable on mobile.
Use native HTML features such as <details> before adding JavaScript.
