render-check

render-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from freezingfunky/ashwin-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned E, original, MIT.

A check that confirms a frontend change appears in the running website, not only in the source files. Frontend code is the part of an application that users see and interact with.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after frontend changes to inspect the served HTML and compiled CSS and verify that the new markup and styling are actually being delivered.
Why use it?
Development servers can sometimes keep serving an old page even after files are edited, creating a false impression that a fix works.

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 E, and why

render-check scanned grade E with 3 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 5d 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.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -sS "$URL" | python3 -c "import sys,re,html;print(html.unescape(re.sub(r'<[^>]+>',' ',sys.stdin.read())))" | grep -c "<text>"

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf .next # or this project's cache dir

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Render Check

The source file is not the truth. The served markup + compiled CSS are the truth.

Why this skill exists

AI agents love to say "done" after editing a React/Tailwind file. Sometimes the source changed but the browser is still serving a stale build (Next.js Fast Refresh quietly stopped updating). Typecheck passes. Curl returns 200. The screen doesn't change.

Iron rule: do not tell the user a visual change is done until the served HTML contains the new markup AND the served CSS contains the new rule. "I edited the file and tsc passes" is not evidence the change rendered.

Discover project specifics first

Do not hardcode ports or paths. Before checking:

  1. Find how this repo starts the dev server (package.json scripts, README, CLAUDE.md).
  2. Note the port and the route under test.
  3. Note the build-cache dir (often .next/ for Next.js; .vite/ / dist/ for Vite).
  4. Find the served CSS link from the HTML — don't invent the path.

Protocol (run before confirming a frontend change)

1. Make sure the server is alive and freshly compiled

# Replace PORT with the project's dev port
lsof -ti :PORT >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "up" || echo "down"

If the change touched layout/Tailwind and the result looks unchanged, assume staleness first — restart clean rather than re-editing CSS:

lsof -ti :PORT | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
rm -rf .next   # or this project's cache dir
# restart via the project's usual dev command (background)
until curl -fsS -o /dev/null "http://localhost:PORT/<route>"; do sleep 2; done

2. Confirm the new MARKUP is in the served HTML

Grep the live page for the exact classes/attributes/text you just added:

URL="http://localhost:PORT/<route>"
curl -sS "$URL" --max-time 30 | grep -c "<the new class or text>"

0 = the change did not render. Stop. Restart the server (step 1). Re-check. Do NOT keep editing source — the source may already be correct.

Grep gotcha — interpolation markers: React may insert <!-- --> around {interpolations}, so a substring that straddles a dynamic value won't match raw HTML. Grep a purely-static substring, or strip tags first:

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.

render-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository freezingfunky/ashwin-skills (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
