Composes single-file HTML artifacts (PR review writeups, status reports, incident postmortems, slide decks, design systems, prototypes, flowcharts, module maps, feature explainers, kanban boards, prompt tuners) from a small JSON spec instead of hand-written HTML/CSS/JS. Use when the user asks to "compare options side-by-side", requests an HTML version of a report or review or deck, asks for a flowchart, status update, postmortem, design system reference, interactive prototype, custom editor —…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# composing-html

Produce single-file HTML artifacts without hand-writing the page chrome. The
composer supplies `<!DOCTYPE>`, `<head>`, inlined CSS, `base.js`, design
tokens, masthead, and colophon. You supply a title and the body content.

The product is the **chrome and inventory below** — primitives you can drop
into any artifact without re-deriving what a card, badge, or eyebrow looks
like. Templates are shortcuts on top of this, useful when the same artifact
shape repeats; see [Templates](#templates-shortcuts-for-repeat-structure)
near the end.

## Default workflow: freeform

`freeform` gives you the whole chrome with one content slot — `body_html` —
for the page body. Reach for it first. Reach for a template only when the
structure repeats across artifacts (see [Templates](#templates-shortcuts-for-repeat-structure)
near the end).

There are two ways to invoke it. **Use the `--set` flow for anything with a
substantial body** — it sidesteps the JSON-string escaping that bites
heredoc-style spec writing (newlines, quotes, `<`/`&` inside multi-line
HTML).

### Recommended: HTML in a file, metadata via `--set`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/composing-html@sha256:8f895e2cddcec414

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
