CSS Minification
thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist
A skill your agent uses when reviewing stylesheets, component styles, and responsive behavior related to Minify all CSS files.
Create a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness.

progressive-blurCreate a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness.
Progressive Blur is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Create a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness. Use when asked for “progressive blur”, “gradient blur overlay”, or stepped blur masks that fade from an edge of the viewport.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 645553c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Progressive Blur loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
The full file from boraoztunc/skills at commit 645553c, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© boraoztunc). 169 words, ~2,101 tokens.

Create a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness. Progressive Blur is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Create a layered CSS progressive blur (top or bottom) using multiple backdrop-filter masks for depth and softness.
Progressive Blur fits situations like: asked for progressive blur; gradient blur overlay; stepped blur masks that fade from an edge of the viewport.
Run `npx skills add boraoztunc/skills --skill progressive-blur -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (progressive-blur in boraoztunc/skills) into .claude/skills/progressive-blur in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add boraoztunc/skills --skill progressive-blur -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (progressive-blur in boraoztunc/skills) into .agents/skills/progressive-blur in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add boraoztunc/skills --skill progressive-blur -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/progressive-blur, .gemini/skills/progressive-blur, .github/skills/progressive-blur and .opencode/skills/progressive-blur in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Progressive Blur is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Progressive Blur is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Progressive Blur: CSS Minification (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars), CSS Order (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars), Unused CSS (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and CSS Critical (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
