Modern Web Guidance

A skill to search for specific web development use cases and retrieve their corresponding best practice guides.

When to use

Must use this skill:

• At the start of implementing any web feature.
• Before creating a new component, to check if a standardized pattern already exists.
• To avoid implementing ad-hoc solutions or loading large dependencies unnecessarily.

Usage Instructions

Step 1. Search Use Cases

Search with an action-oriented query summarizing what you want to achieve using the search command. Run modern-web-guidance directly with npx.

npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest search "<query>" --skill-version 2026_05_16-c5e7870

Example Output:

[
  {
    "id": "optimize-image-priority",
    "description": "Optimize the loading priority of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) candidate images.",
    "category": "performance",
    "featuresUsed": [ "Fetch priority" ],
    "tokenCount": 985,
    "similarity": 0.7289
  },
  {
    "id": "defer-rendering-heavy-content",
    "description": "Reduce rendering times in content-heavy web pages by deferring rendering for offscreen content.",
    "category": "performance",
    "featuresUsed": [ "content-visibility", "hidden=\"until-found\"" ],
    "tokenCount": 1250,
    "similarity": 0.6961
  }
]

Note: If search results are vague, return no matches, or show low similarity scores, run the list command to browse all guides:

npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest list

---

Step 2. Retrieve Best Practices

Once you have a relevant id from the search results, call this script using the retrieve command to get the full guide. You can pass multiple IDs separated by commas.

npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest retrieve "<id>"

Example Output: The markdown content of the guide describing implementation steps...

Using npx

• IMPORTANT: on Windows, using npx may fail. Use npx.cmd ... instead.
• Network access is required for fetching npm packages needed by the task.
• If the npx -y modern-web-guidance… command hangs, you may be offline. Try running again in offline mode: npx --offline ….
• The --skill-version flag is used to determine if this SKILL.md is out of date. If it is, a warning message is logged to stderr.
