HTML Playground Builder

Build a self-contained interactive HTML explorer with controls, live preview, and a copyable natural-language prompt.

Workflow

  1. Infer the audience, decisions, and required states. Existing design systems and explicit requirements override these defaults.
  2. Read exactly one closest template and adapt it:
    • templates/design-playground.md
    • templates/data-explorer.md
    • templates/concept-map.md
    • templates/document-critique.md
    • templates/diff-review.md
    • templates/code-map.md
  3. Write one HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript and no external runtime dependencies.
  4. Open it in a desktop browser, interact with every control and preset, and verify live preview, prompt output, copy feedback, empty/error states, and keyboard usability. Fix rendered defects before completion.

Opinionated Defaults

Use these when product context does not indicate otherwise:

  • controls beside a live preview, with prompt output below;
  • a desktop-browser layout; do not implement or inspect responsive/mobile behavior unless requested;
  • a polished light theme, system UI font, monospace code/values, minimal chrome;
  • sensible non-empty initial state and 3–5 cohesive named presets;
  • one state object, one update path, and immediate preview/prompt refresh;
  • controls grouped by concern, with advanced controls collapsed;
  • prompt text that explains the desired outcome in natural language and mentions only non-default choices.

Invariants

  • No Apply button: relevant changes render immediately.
  • The prompt is actionable without seeing the playground and is not a raw state dump.
  • Copy has visible transient feedback and a usable fallback when the Clipboard API fails.
  • Standardize copy microcopy as Copy prompt, then Copied; on failure show Copy failed — select the prompt below.
  • Presets update controls, preview, and prompt consistently.
  • Do not add controls that do not affect either the preview or the generated prompt.

Completion requires the self-contained file and rendered, interactive inspection evidence. Finish with ### ✨ Playground ready, the linked artifact, and a compact artifact/controls/desktop-browser/copy-fallback table. Keep generated prompts free of decorative icons unless the requested content needs them.
