Use when building server-driven UIs with htmx, designing hx-* attribute compositions, choosing swap strategies (innerHTML/outerHTML/morph), wiring out-of-band updates, integrating with form validation, or migrating from a SPA back to server-rendered HTML. Triggers: hx-get/hx-post setup, hx-target + hx-swap interplay, hx-trigger debouncing, OOB swaps for parts of the page outside the request target, response headers like HX-Trigger and HX-Push-Url, integration with Hyperscript or Alpine.js, accessibility considerations on partial updates. NOT for full SPAs (use React/Vue), framework-specific server libraries (use those skills directly), or non-HTML responses.

From the source SKILL.md

htmx adds AJAX, CSS transitions, WebSockets, and server-sent events to HTML via attributes. The mental model is "the server returns HTML; the client swaps it in." For most CRUD apps, this beats a SPA in time-to-ship and bundle size.
