geo-review-html — interactive client-review HTML

The Markdown briefs/drafts are right for the GEO operator; they are awkward for the client side. This skill renders a companion HTML alongside the Markdown so non-technical reviewers can work in the browser. Battle-tested in the SEA-CICSIC 9-draft batch (see issue #1).

Division of labour (do not blur this):

• Interaction logic is fixed — templates/review.html owns localStorage

auto-save, JSON export, the progress counter, comment toggles, and the approve/return state machine. It is correct as written; do not regenerate it per run.

• Visual layer is the template's CSS — that is where the vendored

frontend-design skill applies. When a client wants a branded or more distinctive look, restyle the <style> block of templates/review.html using frontend-design principles. --accent is already overridable per client via brand_context (see below); deeper restyling edits the CSS.

• render_html.py only parses Markdown + meta into a payload and injects it.

When to use

• 04-content-brief Step 7 — emit briefs/<id>.html (fill-form) next to the .md.
• 04-content-brief Step 9 — ingest the reviewer's returned *.feedback.json.
• 05-production Step 7 — emit drafts/<id>.html (review form) next to the .md.
• Whenever a client folder's briefs/index.html entry page needs (re)building.

Usage

bash
SK=plugins/recomby-geo/skills/geo-review-html

# Flavor A — fill-form HTML for a brief with REQUIRED-FILL slots
python3 $SK/scripts/render_html.py --mode brief \
  --md   clients/<slug>/briefs/<id>.md \
  --meta clients/<slug>/briefs/<id>.meta.json \
  --brand clients/<slug>/brand_context.json \
  --out  clients/<slug>/briefs/<id>.html

# Flavor B — review HTML for a publish-ready draft (section comments + approve)
python3 $SK/scripts/render_html.py --mode draft \
  --md   clients/<slug>/drafts/<id>.md \
  --meta clients/<slug>/drafts/<id>.meta.json \
  --brand clients/<slug>/brand_context.json \
  --out  clients/<slug>/drafts/<id>.html

# Entry page — one card per brief/draft, live progress, status tags
python3 $SK/scripts/render_html.py --mode index \
  --client-dir clients/<slug> \
  --brand clients/<slug>/brand_context.json \
  --out  clients/<slug>/briefs/index.html

Pure standard library — no install step. Output is a single self-contained .html (CSS + JS inlined) safe to email to a client; they double-click it.

How it maps the inputs

• brief mode splits the brief Markdown on REQUIRED-FILL · <id> · <type>

blockquote blocks. Each becomes a yellow textarea with a <details> dropdown (what / why / bad example / good example). Everything else becomes a green "already-filled" prose block with its own 💬 comment toggle. The authoritative slot list is meta.json's slots[].

• draft mode splits on ## headings so every section gets a comment

toggle; the prose is rendered read-only with an ✓ Approve as-is action.

• index mode scans briefs/ and drafts/ for *.meta.json, reading

format, status, word_count, and slot fill counts. Live per-brief progress is read from each brief's localStorage when the page is opened.

• --brand is optional. brand_name sets the client label; brand.primary_color

(or brand_color) overrides the --accent CSS variable for light branding.

Returned feedback contract

Each HTML exports a JSON file matching schemas/review_feedback.schema.json:

json
{
  "brief_id": "free-cash-prize",
  "filled_at": "2026-06-07T14:30:00Z",
  "filled_by": "Jane Doe",
  "answers": { "data-1": "...", "quote-1": "..." },
  "comments": { "overall": "...", "filled-headline-finding": "..." },
  "status": "reviewed-with-comments"
}

status ∈ reviewed-with-comments | approved-as-is | partial-fill. The GEO operator feeds answers into the matching slots during 04-content-brief Step 9 (NEVER auto-filled by AI — the slots are the moat).

Hard rules

1. Never auto-fill answers — the JSON carries the human's real input;

that is the whole point. AI assembles, humans supply.

1. Keep the interaction JS fixed — restyle CSS freely (frontend-design),

but don't rewrite the localStorage/export/state-machine logic per run.

1. Output stays self-contained — one file, no external CSS/JS, so a

non-technical reviewer can open it from an email attachment.
