Wrap any HTML artifact with a side panel of live controls that rewrite CSS custom properties in real time and persist to localStorage. Inspired by the huashu-design tweak pattern.

What you produce

A single self-contained HTML file with two layers:

  1. Stage โ€” the original artifact (landing page / deck / dashboard) re-keyed so all visual decisions read from CSS custom properties: --accent, --scale, --density, --mode, --motion.
  2. Panel โ€” a fixed sidebar (or drawer on small viewports) with form controls bound to those custom properties via a tiny vanilla-JS bridge. Persists every change to localStorage keyed by the artifact identifier.

The user can:

  • Open the artifact and see the stage rendered with their saved preferences (or sensible defaults).
  • Adjust accent / scale / density / mode / motion in the panel and watch the stage update instantly โ€” no rerender.
  • Press T to hide / reveal the panel; R to reset to defaults.
  • Refresh the page โ€” every choice is persisted.

When to use

  • The user generated something they like 80% of, and wants to dial in the last 20% themselves.
  • You're presenting a design system / brand and want the audience to feel the variants live (instead of you re-running the agent).
  • You're shipping a stand-alone demo (e.g. a portfolio piece) and want viewers to play.

When not to use

  • One-shot artifacts that won't be iterated on (e.g. a runbook โ€” parameters don't help).
  • When the artifact's value is in fixed ratios (e.g. an infographic with carefully balanced data viz โ€” knobs would degrade it).

The 5 standard knobs

Pick a subset that suits the artifact. Don't ship all 5 if only 2 matter โ€” clutter is a regression.

1. --accent โ€” Accent color

A select with 5โ€“8 curated swatches (don't ship a free color picker โ€” the user will pick a bad color and blame you).

const ACCENT_PRESETS = [
  { id: 'rust',    val: '#c96442', label: 'Rust' },
  { id: 'cobalt',  val: '#2c4d8e', label: 'Cobalt' },
  { id: 'sage',    val: '#4a7a3f', label: 'Sage' },
  { id: 'plum',    val: '#7a3f6a', label: 'Plum' },
  { id: 'graphite',val: '#3a3a3a', label: 'Graphite' },
];

The artifact uses var(--accent) everywhere it had a hard-coded accent before. Border / link / pull-quote rule / CTA all flip together.

2. --scale โ€” Type scale (0.85 / 1.0 / 1.15)

Three settings: Compact (0.85), Normal (1.0), Generous (1.15). All font-size declarations multiply by var(--scale) via calc(... * var(--scale)).

Don't go beyond ยฑ15% โ€” beyond that the layout breaks (column flow, breakpoints, line counts).

3. --density โ€” Layout density (Tight / Normal / Roomy)

Three settings that swap the spacing scale: Tight (0.75) / Normal (1.0) / Roomy (1.4). All padding / gap / margin declarations multiply by var(--density).

This is the highest-impact knob โ€” it's also the most fragile, so every layout-critical container must declare its base spacing in custom properties before you wrap.

4. --mode โ€” Light / Dark

A 2-state toggle. Sets data-mode="light" vs "dark" on the <html> element and the artifact's :root selector responds with two color sets.

If the artifact already has a media-query-based dark mode, replace it with the data-attr version โ€” the user's choice should win over their OS.

5. --motion โ€” Off / Subtle / Lively

Three settings. Maps to a CSS variable --motion-mult that scales all transition-duration / animation-duration declarations:

  • Off โ€” 0s (also disables WebGL canvases / decorative animation).
  • Subtle โ€” 1.0 (the artifact's authored timing).
  • Lively โ€” 1.6 (slower transitions, more visible motion).

Respect prefers-reduced-motion: default to Off if the user has that set, regardless of stored preference.

Implementation primitives

Read assets/wrap.html โ€” it ships the panel + bridge as an inert template. Your job is to:

  1. Take the user's existing artifact HTML.
  2. Lift its accent / mode / spacing / scale into custom properties (search for hard-coded #hex / Npx / Nrem and convert).
  3. Paste the contents into the marked region of wrap.html.
  4. Edit assets/wrap.html's KNOBS array to keep only the knobs you decided are relevant to this artifact. Don't ship 5 if 2 matter.
  5. Patch the STORAGE_KEY to a unique slug (tweaks-<artifact-slug>).

The bridge in wrap.html:

  • Loads localStorage[STORAGE_KEY] JSON on first paint.
  • Applies values as document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--accent', ...).
  • Listens to every form control's change event and writes back.
  • Exposes T (toggle panel) and R (reset).

Workflow

Step 1 โ€” Acquire the artifact

Same options as the critique skill:

  1. Project file (index.html in the project folder).
  2. Pasted HTML in the chat.
  3. Generated by you in this turn.

Step 2 โ€” Decide which knobs apply

Read the artifact's CSS first. For each knob, decide yes / no:

  • --accent โ€” yes if the artifact has 1 accent color used โ‰ฅ 3 times.
  • --scale โ€” yes if the artifact is type-driven (article, deck, pricing page).
  • --density โ€” yes if the artifact has consistent gap / padding rhythm (deck, dashboard, landing). No for runbooks (already dense).
  • --mode โ€” yes if the artifact has authored dark mode tokens, or you're willing to derive them.
  • --motion โ€” yes if the artifact has any transition / animation worth scaling. No for static reports / critique reports.

Default: 3 knobs is the sweet spot. Five is too busy, one is not worth a panel.

Step 3 โ€” Lift hard-coded values into custom properties

Open assets/wrap.html's <style> block โ€” copy its custom-property naming scheme (--accent, --scale, etc.). In the user's artifact, find every place those concerns live and rewrite:

  • color: #c96442 โ†’ color: var(--accent)
  • font-size: 18px โ†’ font-size: calc(18px * var(--scale))
  • padding: 24px 32px โ†’ padding: calc(24px * var(--density)) calc(32px * var(--density))
  • transition: opacity 200ms โ†’ transition: opacity calc(200ms * var(--motion-mult))

If the artifact uses clamp() or vw already, multiply the outer value by the custom property โ€” don't tear apart clamp(...).

Step 4 โ€” Paste into the wrap

Copy the artifact's <style> and <body> into the marked regions of wrap.html. Keep the panel + bridge intact.

Step 5 โ€” Test the loop

Open the result, click each knob at least once, refresh the page, confirm the choice persists. If a knob breaks the layout โ€” remove it, don't ship it.

Output contract

<artifact identifier="tweaks-<artifact-slug>" type="text/html" title="<Artifact Title> ยท Tweaks">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact ("Wrapped X with a 3-knob tweak panel โ€” accent / scale / mode."). Stop after </artifact>.

Hard rules

  • Don't ship a free color picker โ€” only curated swatches. Users pick bad colors when given freedom; saving them from that is the whole point.
  • Persist by artifact identifier โ€” tweaks-<slug>, not a global key. Two artifacts open in two tabs must not share state.
  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion โ€” default to Off for motion if the user has that set, override only on explicit click.
  • Single-file โ€” no external CSS / JS / fonts beyond the artifact's existing imports. Inline the panel + bridge.
  • Panel hidden by default on viewports < 720px โ€” slide-in drawer via a "T" button at top-right.
  • Don't ship more than 5 knobs. Three is the sweet spot.
