Effective HTML: A Visual Field Guide for Thinking with Agents

Effective HTML is a visual field guide for choosing and creating the right artifact—from wireframes to prototypes, diagrams, and purpose-built interfaces—to enhance thinking with agents. It emphasizes matching the artifact to the decision, using HTML when spatial, visual, comparative, or interactive expression aids understanding. The guide explains when HTML is preferable to Markdown, highlighting its utility in revealing structure, testing behavior, and sharing tangible artifacts for collaboration.

HTML earns its place when spatial, visual, comparative, or interactive expression makes the work easier to understand.

    A lot of Claude-isms in this page that reflect the limited creative judgement of the author. It makes me wince as I scroll further and see UX decisions that clearly have no thought put into them ... Just the statistical average of what clean design is meant to be , I suppose

    Looks like an incoherent AI created web page made of programming concepts and diagrams of nothing strung together. You can see how the structure is adorned by little guides like “see the x ->” and how the hierarchy of babble rises and flows in a plausible-but-random-heat-map.
