You just did the work: gathered, analyzed, or produced something. The default move is to dump a summary into the terminal. Don't. Build an HTML page that makes the result genuinely pleasant to look at, then open it.

Why HTML

Thariq Shihipar (Claude Code) made the case in "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML": we default to Markdown out of habit from the token-scarce GPT-4 days, but that constraint is gone. HTML lets you drop in SVG diagrams, color-coding, in-page navigation, side-by-side comparisons, and light interactivity, so the information becomes something to explore rather than a flat block to scroll. For a human inspecting a deliverable, that is a far better experience than terminal text. The cost is that HTML is verbose to generate and noisy in git, so treat these pages as throwaway artifacts for viewing, not as source you commit.
