At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Remove comments and debug code in production.

  • Reviewing templates
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Shared components related to Remove comments and debug code in production

What it does

Clean Up Comments is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Remove comments and debug code in production. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing templates
  • Shared components related to Remove comments and debug code in production

Example prompts

  • “/clean-up-comments”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Clean Up Comments loads about 435 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~435
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Remove comments and debug code in production

Comments expose internal logic to attackers, increase file size, and can leak sensitive information like API endpoints, credentials, or system architecture.

Quick Reference

  • Remove TODO, FIXME, DEBUG comments before production
  • Keep accessibility and legal comments
  • Configure build tools to strip comments automatically
  • Review for sensitive data leaks in comments

Check

Review this HTML code for unnecessary comments, debug code, console logs, and temporary markup that should be removed before production deployment.

Fix

Remove all development comments, debug code, unused markup, and temporary elements from the HTML before deploying to production.

Explain

Explain why cleaning up code before production is important for security, performance, and professional presentation of web applications.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Remove comments and debug code in production. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
