What it does

Beautiful HTML is an agent skill from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. Turn any document, proposal, report, or outline into a stunning single-file HTML presentation using 34 pre-built professional templates. Use when the user wants to convert a markdown file, proposal, or written content into a beautiful visual HTML document ready to share or convert to PDF.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering HTML artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user wants to convert a markdown file
Written content into a beautiful visual HTML document ready to share

Example prompts

“/beautiful-html”

Requirements

Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Gather Content
Template Selection
Fetch Template
Populate Content
Save and Open

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172c531. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
- node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- raw.githubusercontent.com
Also links to:
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Beautiful HTML loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Full list of all 34 templates at: https://github.com/zarazhangrui/beautiful-html-templates

Workflow

Phase 1 — Gather Content

Ask the user:

"What's the content? (paste text, share a .md file path, or describe what to build)"
"What's the purpose? (proposal, report, pitch, research, internal update)"
"Who's the audience?"

If a file path is provided, read it. If it's a markdown proposal, parse it into sections.

Phase 2 — Template Selection

Based on the purpose and audience, recommend 3 templates from the library above with a one-line reason for each. Show them as options (A, B, C).

For professional B2B proposals → default recommend blue-professional, signal, cartesian. For research/reports → default recommend monochrome, vellum, cartesian. For creative/agency → default recommend studio, editorial-forest, cobalt-grid.

Wait for the user to pick one — or auto-select if they say "you choose."

Phase 3 — Fetch Template

Use WebFetch to retrieve the raw HTML template from GitHub:

WebFetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarazhangrui/beautiful-html-templates/main/templates/<template-name>/template.html

Read the template structure carefully:

Identify all slide layout types available (cover, content, metrics, quote, split, timeline, etc.)
Note the CSS variable names for colors and fonts
Identify placeholder text patterns to replace

Show full SKILL.md (254 more words)Show less

Phase 4 — Populate Content

Map the user's content onto the template's slide layouts:

Mapping rules:

Cover slide → title, subtitle, date, submitted by
Agenda slide → top-level sections as bullet list
Content slides → one section per slide, headline = the key insight (not the topic label)
Metrics slide → any numbers, KPIs, success metrics
Quote slide → testimonials, key statements, pull quotes
Split slide → before/after, problem/solution, two-column comparisons
Timeline slide → roadmaps, horizons, phased plans
Table slide → pricing, commercials, structured breakdowns

Content rules:

Every slide headline = one complete insight
- Bad: "Section 3"
- Good: "90% of the team will have a live AI agent in production by month six"
Never dump raw sections — rewrite as slide-friendly statements
Keep bullets to 4–5 max per slide
Numbers and metrics get their own slide

Replace all placeholder text in the template HTML with the user's actual content. Preserve all CSS, JS, navigation, and structure — only change the text content and optionally adjust CSS color variables if needed to better match the client's brand.

Phase 5 — Save and Open

Save the populated HTML file with a descriptive filename (e.g. sb-ai-proposal.html).

Offer to:

Convert to PDF using Playwright:

bash

npx playwright install chromium --with-deps
node -e "
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1280, height: 720 });
  await page.goto('file://' + require('path').resolve('<filename>.html'));
  const slideCount = await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelectorAll('.slide').length);
  await page.pdf({
    path: '<filename>.pdf',
    width: '1280px',
    height: '720px',
    printBackground: true,
    pageRanges: '1-' + slideCount
  });
  await browser.close();
  console.log('Saved: <filename>.pdf');
})();
"
