Real A/B, rendered in-browser: the skill build produced a genuinely playable Doppler-shift canvas demo with color-coded compressed/stretched wavefronts, editorial serif/sans typography, and a real assemble.mjs-injected review overlay, against a baseline that was exactly the emoji-hero/gradient-text/bento-card template the skill's own anti-slop checklist warns about.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 10/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What HTML Explainer does

A heavyweight process skill (scoping interview, research cap, anti-slop visual design system, mandatory playable micro-demos, screenshot-and-critique quality loop) for turning a topic into a self-contained interactive HTML explainer. Triggers on requests to build an interactive explainer, guide, walkthrough, or one-pager, or to turn material into a visual web page people can explore.

How to install HTML Explainer

git clone https://github.com/ds-vibe/html-explainer
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r html-explainer ~/.claude/skills/html-explainer

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
