Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Front-End-Checklist AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Front-End Checklist

Repository rules and conventions for contributors and automation tools.

Project Overview

Front-End Checklist is an open-source monorepo providing 385 quality-gated frontend best practice rules with an MCP server for structured review workflows.

  • MCP Server: https://mcp.frontendchecklist.io (11 tools)
  • Rules: packages/content/rules/en/<category>/<slug>.mdx
  • Web App: apps/web/ (Next.js App Router)
  • MCP Package: packages/mcp/ (TypeScript)
  • Package Manager: pnpm (workspaces + Turborepo)

Work Tracking

Work in this repo is tracked in Paperclip project FEC (Front-End Checklist, id c5edfe8f-731b-43e8-b805-c52999831084). New tickets get the DAV- prefix.

MCP Usage

When working on frontend implementation, review, debugging, or audit tasks, use the Front-End Checklist MCP server when available so recommendations stay grounded in the project rule corpus.

  • Use review_code first for pasted or inspected HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or Next.js code.
  • Use search_rules before making accessibility, performance, SEO, security, image, privacy, i18n, or testing recommendations.
  • Use get_rule, check_rule, fix_rule, or explain_rule for rule-specific guidance and remediation.
  • Use get_workflow or get_checklist_rules for broad launch, accessibility, SEO, security, performance, and testing audits.
  • Use audit_url for public https:// pages.

Some clients lazy-load installed MCP tools. If the tools are not initially visible, search for or explicitly request the Front-End Checklist MCP before proceeding with frontend work.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
