skaldr

Turn one YAML file into one polished, self-contained HTML report page. You describe what the report says — findings, tables, a pipeline, the numbers — and skaldr owns how it looks: layout, spacing, colour, light/dark, all decided once, here. No design work, no CSS, no drift.

See it → sales pipeline · warehouse count (rendered from examples/sales-pipeline.yaml and data/example.yaml).

Install

brew install alex-yanchenko/tap/skaldr     # recommended (macOS/Linux)
uv tool install skaldr                     # or, with uv
pipx install skaldr                        # or, with pipx

All three put a skaldr command on your PATH. (From a checkout, uv run skaldr … works without installing.)

Use

skaldr report.yaml                 # → out/report.html
skaldr report.yaml -o review.html  # choose the output path
skaldr report.yaml --pdf report.pdf  # a ready-to-share PDF (drives a headless Chrome/Chromium)
open review.html                   # a self-contained file — open it, host it, or share it

That's the whole tool: point it at a content file, get an HTML page (or a PDF). A few more commands help you write the content file and share the result:

skaldr --guide                     # the authoring guide: every block, the rules, a full example
skaldr --write-schema page.schema.json   # JSON Schema for your editor's YAML language server
skaldr report.yaml --embed -o out.html   # Artifact-ready fragment (no <html> skeleton) to publish as a claude.ai Artifact

For a PDF, use --pdf (above): it prints the page's print styling with a headless browser you already have — the reliable way to a shareable PDF. (Printing a published Artifact doesn't work: it's a sandboxed frame the browser flattens to a snapshot, so the print CSS never applies.) --pdf needs a Chrome/Chromium/Edge on the machine; set SKALDR_BROWSER to point at one if it isn't auto-found.

There are no styling flags — everything is in the content file.

The content file

version: 1
meta:
  title: "Q3 Warehouse Inventory Count — Discrepancies & Fixes"
  subtitle: ["Reconciled review of the 10,000-unit cycle count."]
  source: "WMS export"          # optional; feeds the provenance footer
  date: "Q3 2026"               # optional; never auto-now (builds are reproducible)
  toc: true                     # optional; auto table-of-contents from level-2 headings
  width: default                # optional; page width cap: default (1600) | wide (1920) | full
  hero: true                    # optional; larger display title + subtitle in a tinted band
badges:                         # author-declared vocabulary (see below)
  FLOOR:  { label: "Floor",  tone: amber, legend: "Fixable on the floor before the next count." }
  SYSTEM: { label: "System", tone: blue,  legend: "Defect in the scanning/labeling pipeline." }
blocks:
  - { type: heading, text: "Overview" }
  - { type: text, body: "Prose with **bold**, *italic*, `code`, ~~strike~~ and [links](https://x)." }
  - { type: cards, items: [{ label: "Matched cleanly", value: 8500, of: 10000, tone: success }] }
  # … more blocks

Top level is version · meta · optional badges · blocks — nothing else. Every block carries a type discriminator; the model is a pydantic discriminated union, so an unknown type, a field from the wrong block, or an unknown key each fails with a precise blocks.3.items.2.value-style error before anything renders.

Blocks: heading · text · list · fact_strip · key_value · cards · badge_row · callout · status_list · meter · table · code · quote · image · timeline · flow (a directional pipeline — arrow or step style, optional loop) · section (collapsible) · grid (bounded 6-column layout, with optional per-cell emphasis panels). The table is the workhorse — typed columns, grouped subtotals, sub-rows, colour-only indicator dots, row-level tone, and a reconcile block that hard-fails the build if the counts don't sum to a declared total. Badges are declared once and chip onto table rows, cards, timeline entries, and flow nodes alike. Prose fields take a small markdown subset (**bold**, *italic*, `code`, ~~strike~~, links); raw HTML is never interpreted.

Full reference: skaldr --guide (source: src/skaldr/skill/GUIDE.md), data/example.yaml (a file exercising every block), and schema/page.schema.json.

Guarantees

  • One self-contained file — inline CSS, system fonts, no external resources; the page carries its own <!doctype> + <meta charset> so it renders correctly from file://, any static host, or a claude.ai Artifact.
  • Validation is the product — structural mistakes fail the build with a field path, never reach the reader's eyes.
  • Derived, not authored — number formatting, percentages, subtotals, the legend, the TOC, and the provenance footer are all computed, so they can't drift from the data.
  • Light & dark — the palette follows the viewer's OS theme; a small corner menu lets the reader switch theme and page width.

Let an AI write it

skaldr ships a Claude skill, so you can skip the YAML and just ask. Install it once:

skaldr --install-skill      # copies the skill into ~/.claude/skills (survives upgrades)

Then in Claude Code (or Cowork), ask in plain language — "make me a skaldr report on this data export: what's clean, what's broken, and the fix" — and it writes the content file and renders the page. The skill reads the current guide from the tool itself (skaldr --guide), so it stays correct across upgrades without reinstalling.

Development

uv run skaldr data/example.yaml -o out/example.html   # run from a checkout
uv run pytest                                          # tests
