HTML Anything — your local AI agent writes the HTML, you ship it.

The agentic HTML editor from the Open Design family. Reuse the coding-agent CLI you've already authenticated to turn Markdown, CSV, or JSON into ship-ready HTML for WeChat, X, Zhihu, and Xiaohongshu — no new keys, no copy-paste tax.

Why this exists

Markdown is the draft. HTML is what humans read.

You ship the rendered surface, not the source. HTML Anything closes the gap between your raw notes and the polished page a reader actually sees.

Your agent already knows you.

No new account, no API key, no extra subscription. The CLI in your terminal is the rendering engine — HTML Anything just runs your skill.

Skills are folders, not magic.

75 templates, each a SKILL.md folder you can fork, edit, and reuse. The picker is a directory listing in disguise.

How it works

  1. 01

    Drop in your input

    Markdown, CSV, TSV, JSON, SQL, Excel, or plain text. Tabular data is parsed in-browser via papaparse and xlsx — nothing leaves your laptop.

  2. 02

    Pick a skill, agent renders it

    Choose from 75 SKILL.md templates. The local CLI you already authenticated streams its stdout straight into a sandboxed iframe via SSE — you watch the layout assemble in real time.

    Export to your channel

    One click for WeChat MP, X / Weibo / Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, standalone .html, or 2× PNG. Output is presentation-ready, not a starter kit.

Showcase

A glimpse of what HTML Anything ships out of the box. Each tile is a real skill in the registry — fork the folder, swap the content, hit export.

Two surfaces beyond the page

HTML Anything also covers presentation-style decks and storyboard frames you can hand off to a video pipeline.

Deck mode — slide-by-slide presentation view
Keynote deck mode — full-bleed slide layouts with Atelier Zero typography and Swiss-grid variants.
Hyperframes — storyboard frames for video
Hyperframes — storyboard frames sized and labelled so the next stop can be a Remotion render.

Nine surface modes

Each surface is a curated layout family — pick the one that matches where the output is going to live.

  • Magazine article Long-form editorial layout with drop caps and pull quotes.
  • Keynote deck Slide deck with editorial covers and Swiss-grid variants.
  • Résumé One-page CV in print-ready typographic hierarchy.
  • Poster Newsprint poster — single big idea, eye-catching grid.
  • Xiaohongshu card Vertical 3:4 card sized for the Little Red Book feed.
  • Tweet card 2× PNG export for X / Weibo with native ratios.
  • Web prototype Functional landing-page or product-page sketch.
  • Data report Tabular data → annotated dashboard in one shot.
  • Hyperframes video Storyboard frames you can hand off to Remotion.

Eight coding agents auto-detected

HTML Anything inherits whichever CLI sessions you already have on your machine. No extra account, no extra API key.

  • Claude Code
  • Cursor Agent
  • OpenAI Codex
  • Gemini CLI
  • GitHub Copilot CLI
  • OpenCode
  • Qwen Coder
  • Aider

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/nexu-io/html-anything
cd html-anything
pnpm install
pnpm -F @html-anything/next dev
# → http://localhost:3000

The agent runs locally on your laptop. You can also deploy the Next.js shell to Vercel — only the rendering loop stays local.

Roadmap

Stable

  • Agent detection
  • Skill registry & picker
  • SSE streaming render
  • Sandboxed iframe preview
  • Format auto-detect (Markdown · CSV · TSV · JSON · SQL · Excel)

In progress

  • Multi-template compare view
  • Hyperframes → .mp4 Remotion handoff

Planned

  • Browser extension
  • History + version diff
  • Skill marketplace

From the Open Design family

Open Design is the broader agentic design surface — skills, systems, templates, the whole studio. HTML Anything is the narrow tool: Markdown or data in, ship-ready HTML out.
