description

Render agent output to rich self-contained HTML using htmd templates instead of writing HTML directly. Use compose to mix prose + many interactive widgets in one markdown file with one global "Send / Copy all changes" button that aggregates all human edits back into one prompt for the agent. With `--serve` (v0.3.0) the page is also hosted at a URL so iPhone users can open + reply without copy-paste. Templates: status-report, dashboard, decision-matrix, comparison-3-up, email-digest, slide-deck, prompt-tuner, kanban-board, concept-explainer, feedback-corrector, checklist, q-and-a, data-table, approval-list, rank-order, text-redline, priority-matrix.

htmd — Markdown ↔ HTML bridge for human-in-the-loop agents

When you need to produce visually-rich output and want the human to interact with it and respond back to you, prefer htmd over writing HTML inline. You emit ~150 tokens of YAML; htmd gives the user back ~1,500 tokens of styled, interactive HTML with a button that copies their edits back to you as a clean prompt.

The decision tree

1. Plain prose / a few lines → emit Markdown. Cheapest.
2. Multiple structured blocks in one page (e.g. status + checklist + corrections + ranking) → author ONE markdown file with \``htmd:
