Once installed, ask questions the way you always do:

> Explain the TCP three-way handshake
> Map out how the modules in this repo fit together
> Redis or Memcached for our cache?

The agent writes a short Markdown draft and hands it to the CLI that ships with the skill. About 50 ms later you have a page:

Why not just ask for HTML?

You can. Models write decent HTML now. But most of what they write is not content. We counted the tokens in 9 pages the model wrote by hand, 4,893 tokens on average:

Part of the page	Share	With this skill
SVG diagrams: coordinates and paths	47%	The CLI writes it
CSS	15%	The CLI writes it
HTML tags	17%	The CLI writes it
Text	21%	The model writes it, as Markdown

With this skill the model writes only a Markdown draft. For the same questions that was 612 tokens on average, about 1/8 of the hand-written HTML. Less to write means less to wait for (3 topics × 3 runs, medians, Claude Sonnet 5.5, a plain Claude Code setup):

	Ask for HTML directly	Answer me with HTML
Tokens the model writes	4,893	612	8× fewer
Time	31 s	12 s	2.6× faster

<p align="center">_{The same question, the same model, answered both ways. Both pages are usable.}</p>

The token counts are saved in bench/corpus/tokens.json, so node bench/corpus.mjs gives the same numbers every time. The pages themselves are a download. The bill drops less than the writing, about 15% here, because every turn also reads the system prompt, your question and the conversation, with or without the skill. See where the cost goes.

Explainer videos save even more: about 18× fewer output tokens and 12× faster in a small test.

Install

You need Node.js 20 or newer. There is no npm install step. The CLI is bundled inside the skill. No Node.js yet? With the recommended install below, your agent asks you and then installs it.

Let your agent install it (recommended)

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or any other agent:

Install Answer me with HTML: read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QingYunA/answer-me-with-html/main/INSTALL.md and follow it.
