What does answer-me-with-html do?
answer-me-with-html is an agent skill that answers complex questions with a single HTML page instead of a long block of chat text. The page can combine prose, tables, code and diagrams.
The division of labour is the main idea. The agent writes a short Markdown draft, then hands it to a CLI bundled with the skill, which produces the SVG diagrams, styling and markup. Because the model no longer writes coordinates and CSS by hand, it emits far fewer tokens; the author's benchmark puts the draft at about one eighth of the tokens of hand-written HTML for the same questions.
It is not specific to DSH. The same skill installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agents, and the repository documents a DSH plugin install as well. The agent decides when a page is warranted: a question about how modules fit together gets a folder tree and a call graph, a "Redis or Memcached" question gets a comparison table, and a one-line question gets a one-line reply.
Core features
- Page generation: Renders a Markdown draft into one HTML page, saved under
~/.answer-me-with-html/pages/. - Diagram types: Sequence and state diagrams, call graphs, folder trees, timelines and comparison tables, picked to suit the question.
- Page controls: Buttons switch the theme and light/dark mode, collect your reply, and copy the Markdown that produced the page.
- Explainer videos: On request,
am videobuilds a narrated player page in which the diagram unfolds step by step. - Always-on mode: Off by default. Once enabled through a rule in your agent's rules file, each conclusion comes with a small page of 2 to 4 panels.
- Settings by command:

How to use answer-me-with-html
- Make sure Node.js 20 or newer is installed. There is no separate
npm installstep, because the CLI ships inside the skill. - For DeepSeek Harness, the README gives this command, run with the profile you use:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:QingYunA/answer-me-with-html
- For other agents, use the skills installer, which asks which agents to install into:
npx skills add QingYunA/answer-me-with-html
- Ask questions as usual, for example "Explain the TCP three-way handshake", or say "explain it in HTML" to request a page.
- Change settings from the terminal when needed, for instance to stop pages from opening in the browser:
am config set open off
Questions about answer-me-with-html
How do I install answer-me-with-html?
Run dsh plugin --profile web add github:QingYunA/answer-me-with-html in a terminal. The --profile value names the profile the plugin is added to, so change it if you run a different one.
Is answer-me-with-html free to use?
The source is public at QingYunA/answer-me-with-html under the MIT license. Check that license if you plan to use it commercially.
Is answer-me-with-html still maintained?
The last code push was on Nov 10, 2026, and the latest release is v0.5.11. We last refreshed this data on Nov 12, 2026. DeepSeek Harness changes quickly, so a plugin untouched for months may no longer load.
Has Plugin DSH tested answer-me-with-html?
No. It is listed from its public repository and we have not installed it. Read the source and recent issues before you run it.
Why use this skill instead of asking the model to write HTML directly?
With the skill, the model writes only a Markdown draft and the bundled CLI generates the SVG, CSS and markup. The author's benchmark reports an average of 612 output tokens against 4,893 for hand-written HTML on the same questions, and 12 seconds against 31.
Does every question produce a page?
No. The agent decides whether a page is worth it, for example for related concepts, multi-step flows or multi-way comparisons, and a one-line question still gets a one-line answer. An optional always-on mode adds a small page to every conclusion.
Is answer-me-with-html only for DeepSeek Harness?
No. It is a general agent skill. The README covers Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agents alongside the DSH plugin install, and describes it as usable in any agent that can run a shell command.
