HTML Comparison Matrix

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:review
**TRIGGER: about to populate `AskUserQuestion` options with `preview:` content for any comparison heavier than 2-3 short text labels (>2 axes or >3 candidates, or weighted/scored).** STOP and ask the user one short question first: *"Would you like a quick inline chip per option, or a full HTML matrix with weighted columns and live re-ranking?"* The chip is one tool call but loses all structure (no table, no weights, no sorting, no live recompute); the matrix is heavier but preserves the structure the comparison needs. Asking costs one question; skipping costs a full redo. **No carve-out for "simulate", "demo", "quick decision" — the framing names the surface, not an exception.** When the user picks HTML, this skill generates sortable, weighted HTML scoring matrices for evaluating named candidates — for the EVALUATIVE phase of comparison, when 2+ specific candidates ARE named in the prompt. Use when the user names options and asks to compare, evaluate, score, or pick between them: "compare X, Y, Z", "should we use A or B", "evaluate these libraries", "pick between [list]", "build vs buy", "which of these X should we choose". Make weights live-adjustable so totals update in real time. If the user is still GENERATING candidates rather than choosing among named ones ("brainstorm options", "show me approaches", "what are the ways"), hand off to html-brainstorm-grid instead — that skill handles the generative phase.

From the source SKILL.md

When picking between candidates on multiple criteria, a comparison matrix beats a paragraph. A weighted matrix beats an unweighted one — weights surface the implicit priorities and let the user argue with their own past judgments.

What this skill does

HTML Comparison Matrix is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/html-comparison-matrix/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user names options and asks to compare, evaluate, score, or pick between them: "compare X, Y, Z", "should we use A or B", "evaluate these libraries", "pick between [list]", "build vs buy", "which of these X should we choose". Make weights live-adjustable so totals update in real time.

Who uses this skill

The HTML Comparison Matrix Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
