lavish: a Claude Code skill by Kun Chen

For people who want plans, diffs and comparisons as HTML pages they can mark up and send back. Skip it if plain chat replies are enough for you.

Before you install: The file tells Claude to skip its own instructions and follow whatever the latest lavish-axi package prints, so the real guidance can change without the skill changing.

What does lavish do?

lavish is a skill that has Claude present a plan, comparison, diagram, table, code diff or report as an HTML file you open in the browser through the lavish-axi CLI. You annotate the page and your notes go back to the agent, which can revise. The SKILL.md itself holds almost no workflow. It tells Claude to ignore its own copy and pull current guidance from the CLI instead: --help for the review loop, design for visual direction, and playbook <id> for each artifact kind. Every call runs through npx -y lavish-axi. Typing /lavish with a request builds that artifact; without one, Claude picks what to show from the chat.

When should you use lavish?

Use it when

  • You want to review a plan by marking up a page
  • A code diff or comparison reads poorly as chat text
  • You want to send line-level feedback back to the agent

Skip it when

  • Short text answers already work for you
  • You can't run npx or open a local browser page

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • Node.js with npx, for the lavish-axi CLI
  • A web browser

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (npx -y lavish-axi)
  • Writes HTML files to your project
  • Fetches the lavish-axi package from npm through npx

From reading its instructions, not from running it.

How the formula works

Is lavish safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
