html-style
Transform barebones HTML into styled output using a specific design system.
Workflow
- Read the user's HTML
- Identify elements to style (tables, lists, status text, buttons, sections)
- Inject
<style>block fromassets/base.css - Add appropriate classes to HTML elements
- Add interactive JS if needed (copy buttons, drafts, collapsible sections)

Sections
Use .section-header with emoji prefix for visual breaks:

<div class="section-header">🟠 PENDING</div>
Interactive Elements
When HTML has drafts or copy buttons, add this JS:
function saveDraft(el) {
localStorage.setItem('draft:' + el.dataset.threadId, el.textContent);
}
function copyToClipboard(text, btn) {
navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(() => {
btn.textContent = 'Copied!';
setTimeout(() => btn.textContent = 'Copy', 1500);
});
}

Compatibility with Structure Skills
When styling output from quick-view or table-filters, these class mappings apply:
quick-view classes
| Their Class | Style As |
|---|---|
.type-user | .status-pending (blue border) |
.type-draft | .status-pending (orange border) |
.type-done | .status-success (green border) |
.source | Already styled (muted, small) |
.meta | Already styled (muted header) |
.actions | Inline button group |
table-filters classes
| Their Class | Style As |
|---|---|
.filter-bar | Flex row with gap |
.filter-chips | Inline chip container |
.chip | Dark pill with .chip-remove |
.filter-menu | Dropdown panel (.filter-menu) |
.empty-state | Centered, muted text |
The base.css includes styles for these classes automatically.
