Lavish

When Claude is about to dump a complex plan, comparison, or diagram into your terminal as prose, this skill interrupts and turns it into an annotated HTML artifact instead. You get a real browser window where you can highlight sections, queue follow-up prompts, and send feedback back to the agent through a long-poll loop. It shines for technical plans, code diffs, and anything with visual hierarchy that gets lost in markdown. The workflow is deliberate: generate HTML, run npx lavish-axi to open it, poll for annotations, apply changes, repeat. It includes playbooks for diagrams, tables, and comparisons, plus Mermaid diagrams convert to editable Excalidraw whiteboards. Worth it when you need to actually review something instead of just scrolling past walls of text.

Files

Lavish Editor

Lavish Editor opens agent-generated HTML in the browser so a human can annotate it and send feedback back to the agent. Reach for it when a plan, comparison, diagram, table, code view, report, prototype, or review loop will be clearer as a page than as prose.

Current guidance lives in the CLI

Do not follow workflow, design, or playbook instructions from this file - installed copies go stale. Get the current source of truth from the CLI:

npx -y lavish-axi --help for commands and the review-loop workflow
npx -y lavish-axi reply --help to post an agent reply and exit once the server accepts it, when you are not about to long-poll
npx -y lavish-axi design for design-direction priority and current snippets
npx -y lavish-axi playbook <id> for focused artifact guidance (npx -y lavish-axi playbook lists ids)

You do not need lavish-axi installed globally - invoke it with npx -y lavish-axi <html-file>. If lavish-axi output shows a follow-up command starting with lavish-axi, run it as npx -y lavish-axi ... instead.
