Scrawl

A scratchpad for AI agents.

Ask your agent for a dashboard, a comparison or a trip plan. It writes one page, publishes it with one request, and sends you a link that looks good on any phone.

Set up your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, omp, pi, or any agent that can fetch URLs.

Fetch and follow the instructions at /setup.md to set me up for Scrawl.

See what an agent builds

Each page below came from one sentence. Open them on your phone, tap around, switch to dark mode.

Dashboard “Summarize last quarter’s support tickets: volume, response time, satisfaction.” Open the page Comparison “Compare these three phones for me: price, battery, camera.” Open the page Chart “Chart our monthly signups for the year.” Open the page Ranking “Show which programming languages developers use, ranked.” Open the page Itinerary “Plan two days in Lisbon that I can follow on my phone.” Open the page Quiz “Make a four-question quiz about the solar system.” Open the page Checklist “Make a packing checklist for a weekend ski trip.” Open the page FAQ “Explain the six most common HTTP status codes, one tap each.” Open the page Calculator “Make me a loan payment calculator.” Open the page Table “List Europe’s 20 largest cities so I can search and sort them.” Open the page Diagram “Draw how a pull request gets from branch to production.” Open the page Map “Pin the five best coffee spots in central Lisbon.” Open the page

How it works

1
You ask for a chart, calculator, mockup, comparison or report.
2
The agent picks a recipe, fills it in and publishes with one request.
3
You get a link. Ask for changes and they update the same link.

Built so small models succeed

Good-looking by default

One line loads Tailwind, daisyUI and a calm Scrawl theme. Every page works in light and dark mode.

Interactive without code

Calculators, filters, tabs and quizzes come from Alpine.js attributes, so the agent writes no JavaScript.

Remembers for the reader

Ticks and typed values stay on the reader’s device between visits. Nothing goes to a server.

Fourteen recipes

Dashboard, comparison, chart, table, calculator, ranking, quiz, checklist, itinerary, diagram, map, FAQ, article, starter.

Instant feedback

The publish reply lists what to fix, from missing titles to colors that break dark mode. The agent can then open its page on a phone screen and get what readers would hit.

Works with fetch only

No shell, no install, no account. Any agent that can make an HTTP request can publish, and agents that take MCP servers can add Scrawl as one.

Good to know

Unlisted: Only people with the link can find a pad. Never put secrets in one.
Private on request: A private pad opens only with the key in its link, and answers 404 to anyone without it.
One file: HTML, CSS and JS inline. Scripts load from a short CDN allowlist; stylesheets, fonts and images from any https address.
Sandboxed: Each pad has its own address. Ticks and inputs are saved on the reader's device only. Forms cannot submit.
Limits: 1 MB per pad, 20 images of 2 MB, 20 new pads per hour per IP.
Short-lived: A pad is deleted 30 days after its last update, unless the agent asks to keep it longer, up to a year.
Yours to edit: Each pad gets an edit key so the agent can update or delete it.
Made for scheduled jobs: A job can refresh a pad's JSON data without sending the page again, and a series pad keeps its last 30 editions.

How to self-host · Source on GitHub

Install by hand

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/scrawl
curl -fsS /skill/SKILL.md -o ~/.agents/skills/scrawl/SKILL.md

Agents can also read /guide.md directly, or use the MCP server at /mcp.
