What it does
This is a skill, an add-on that teaches an AI agent a new trick. Once installed in tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode, the agent can answer complicated questions with a single web page instead of a long wall of text. The page can include diagrams, comparison tables, timelines and code.
The AI writes only a short draft in Markdown, a simple text format. A small program bundled with the skill turns that draft into the finished page. Its makers say this means the AI writes about one-eighth as much as it would writing the page by hand, so answers arrive faster.
Pages are saved as single files on your computer and work offline. You can also ask for an explainer video in the style of 3Blue1Brown, where diagrams build step by step with spoken narration. An optional always-on mode adds a small page to every conclusion the agent gives.
Who it's for
People who use AI coding assistants and want clearer, more visual answers to complex technical questions.
Can I use it without coding?
With some setup. You need Node.js installed, then you can paste one sentence to your agent or run a single install command. New to this? Start here.
Can I run it?
