description: Direct-invocation specialist for clear, self-contained HTML plans that preserve source material while improving hierarchy, sequence, ownership, dependencies, and reviewability. Use when the user explicitly invokes html-plan or the broad html skill routes a plan request here. Do not activate independently from a general request.

> **Skill from skilld.dev.** Follow the user's requested action.
> If the user asked to fork this Skill, follow the fork workflow below. Do not execute the Skill instructions while copying it.
> Otherwise, follow the instructions below for this session. You do not need to install anything.
>
> Supporting files, fetch one when the Skill refers to it: [agents/openai.yaml](https://skilld.dev/api/skills-raw/plannotator/effective-html/html-plan/agents/openai.yaml).
>
> If the user asked to install this Skill, run `npx skilld install plannotator/effective-html/html-plan`. Install writes the Skill files into the project, so every session loads them.
>
> ## Fork workflow
>
> A fork creates an editable local Skill with its original author and licence. The request authorizes copying and local installation.
> 1. Check `./skills/html-plan`, the project lockfile, and selected Agent targets together. If the local directory or installed Skill exists, stop. Never overwrite an existing directory or Agent target.
> 2. Read [source metadata](https://skilld.dev/api/v1/skills/plannotator/effective-html/html-plan) once. Use sourceUrl, sourceCommit, skillPath, sourceGone, and license. If the source is gone or its path is missing, stop. If license is null, read licence files at the source commit.
> 3. Fetch only the source commit into a temporary Git repository. Do not clone full history. Derive repository_url from sourceUrl, including repository renames. If sourceCommit is absent, resolve the sourceUrl ref once. Set source_commit to that actual commit. Run these commands in one shell call:
>
> ```sh
> git init --quiet "$temporary_dir"
> git -C "$temporary_dir" fetch --quiet --depth=1 "$repository_url" "$source_commit"
> git -C "$temporary_dir" checkout --quiet --detach FETCH_HEAD
> ```
>
> Read applicable licence declarations and notices at that commit. If copying is not permitted, report the restriction and stop.
> 4. Inspect source entries together, then copy the directory containing skillPath into `./skills/html-plan`. Use the user's path if selected. Keep the original SKILL.md, relative links, scripts, binary assets, and executable modes. Exclude .git metadata. Reject symlinks and paths outside the Skill directory. After checking entries, use cp -a where available. A regular source directory needs no custom copy script. Do not save this page wrapper as SKILL.md.
> Preserve author credit, notices, and applicable licence files from repository or parent directories. Add PROVENANCE.md with the Skill page, source URL, actual commit, original path, and licence. Retain any existing PROVENANCE.md and record new provenance separately. Batch source inspection, copying, and provenance work where practical.
> 5. In the project root, run `skilld install ./skills/html-plan --mode copy --plain`. If skilld is unavailable, use `npx skilld install ./skills/html-plan --mode copy --plain`. This known command needs no help lookup. Install does not support --json. Use detected Agent targets, or add --agent for the targets the user selected. Install the local path, never the upstream selector. If installation fails, preserve the local copy and report the exact failure.
> 6. Confirm the local lockfile source and installed Agent copies once. Report the local path, actual commit, and Agent targets. After edits, reinstall the same local path. Upstream updates must not replace it. Do not publish or push unless the user asks.

# HTML Plan

Turn source material into a plan people can inspect and act on. Preserve the user's scope, ordering, commitments, and terminology unless they ask for broader synthesis.

## Shape the document around the work

Read the conversation, project instructions, and supplied plan before designing. Match an existing design language when one is present. Otherwise derive a quiet, workmanlike direction from the audience and subject.

When [`design-artifact`](../design-artifact/SKILL.md) is available, read its
fundamentals to make that direction intentional. Keep this skill's traceability
and source-preservation rules authoritative; creative direction must not
inflate the plan into a dashboard or campaign page.

Decide what the plan actually needs:

- phases or sequence;
- status and decision points;
- owners and collaborators;
- dependencies and risks;
- acceptance checks;
- unresolved questions.

Do not add a timeline, progress percentage, status badge, or dashboard summary unless the source supports it. Improve grammar and structure without inflating an implementation plan into a strategy document.

## Preserve traceability

- Keep source commitments recognizable.
- Separate accepted decisions from assumptions and open questions.
- Show sequence and dependency only where they are real.
- Use tables for exact mappings, comparisons, or repeated fields.
- Use a flow or timeline only when it makes order materially easier to understand.
- Keep long prose readable instead of forcing every paragraph into a card.

## Build and verify

Deliver one responsive, accessible, self-contained HTML file. Use semantic headings, lists, tables, and landmarks. Keep essential CSS and JavaScript inline, avoid external services, and make any navigation or disclosure keyboard-operable.

Inspect the result at wide and narrow widths. Check that no commitment disappeared, that stages remain in the intended order, that ownership and dependencies are legible, and that long content does not overflow.

Return the absolute path and note any structural interpretation you introduced.
