About the project

Front-End Checklist is a collection of front-end web development rules organized as a practical review and quality workflow for people and AI agents. Developers use it to audit projects and pull requests, check implementation details, and find guidance for remediation and verification. The catalogue entries provide skills, instructions, MCP tools, and a plugin for using the checklist in agent workflows.

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

find-npm-packages scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

find-npm-packages

Identify, validate, and add npm package references to a Front-End Checklist rule.

What this skill does

Given a rule file or rule slug, this skill will:

  1. Understand what the rule is checking for
  2. Research which npm packages are commonly used to implement, automate, or enforce the rule
  3. Validate each candidate against quality thresholds (popularity + maintenance)
  4. Select the best 2–3 packages
  5. Add them to the rule's npmPackages frontmatter field

Quality thresholds (mandatory — do not skip)

Before selecting any package, check it against these criteria using the npm registry:

Criterion Minimum
Weekly downloads >10,000/week
Last publish Within 18 months
npm registry Must be listed (registry.npmjs.org/{name})

Packages that fail any threshold must be excluded, regardless of how relevant they are.

Research steps

Step 1 — Understand the rule

Read the rule file: packages/content/rules/en/{category}/{slug}.mdx

Focus on:

  • What problem does this rule solve?
  • What technique, spec, or behavior does it enforce?
  • What tools or linters are mentioned in the tools: field?

Step 2 — Identify candidates

Search for packages that:

  • Detect the issue (linters, audit tools, CLI scanners)
  • Fix or implement the pattern (frameworks, utilities, polyfills)
  • Test for compliance (test utilities, CI integrations)

Use https://www.npmjs.com/search?q={keywords} and knowledge of the ecosystem to find candidates.

Prefer packages that are:

  • Part of the official toolchain (e.g., eslint, stylelint, official plugins)
  • Widely adopted across the industry
  • Actively maintained (recent commits, open issues responded to)

Step 3 — Validate each candidate

For each candidate package, fetch and verify:

# Metadata
curl https://registry.npmjs.org/{package}/latest | jq '{name, version, description}'

# Weekly downloads
curl https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/{package} | jq '.downloads'
