html will waste a lot of tokens - very verbose. md is compacr, supports tables, mermaid diagrams - its fine. xml is the same. if you want true structure then use json

html is way too verbose. why pollute the context with unnecessary formatting syntax?

this is false. there is no way it is smart to load silly html syntax other than to boat context. this is a dumb thought

I feel like a number of things are being conflated here. output documents vs internal operational documents. context still matters and using markdown of operational documents makes more sense.

no bro.. Claude Design generates html with javascripts and animation, etc,, a working prototype..and claude code can take over.. In MD file that would be too cumbersome..

I've been asking agents to write documentation for agents. It helps with coherence.

Soo many tokens with html. For user interface html is a great. For context it’s inefficient token wise. I wonder what the ml in html stands for 😜

MD, HTML, JSON, YAML, TOON… none of it works. Not for agents or humans.

It’s just pointing to the fact that we need higher level tools for visualizing more complex things. Markdown is fine. It’s just not a visualization tool. It’s fine at its layer

I started a few weeks ago to use HTML but it was mainly because I was making readable for myself. thanks for sharing

I use xml with json structure inside. for my skills its a compiled form of the markdown.. call the markdown source.. the xml/json is compiled

Of course Claude recommends html! They make more money from you to waste more tokens!!
