At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing rendered HTML, layout components, or design-system patterns that may depend on presentation for meaning.

  • Reviewing rendered HTML
  • 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
  • Layout components

What it does

Content Without CSS is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing rendered HTML, layout components, or design-system patterns that may depend on presentation for meaning. Check the DOM order, semantic structure, form relationships, and whether CSS generated content carries essential information.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling and Design systems. 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 rendered HTML
  • Layout components
  • Design-system patterns that may depend on presentation for meaning

Example prompts

  • “/content-without-css”

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

Content Without CSS loads about 548 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~548
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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.

Ensure content remains usable without CSS

Users can browse with custom styles, high contrast modes, reader tools, or failed stylesheets. If the page only makes sense visually, content order, instructions, and task flow break as soon as presentation changes.

Quick Reference

  • Use semantic HTML so headings, lists, and form relationships survive without CSS
  • Keep DOM order aligned with the reading and task-completion order
  • Do not put essential labels, instructions, or required markers in CSS generated content
  • Test key journeys with author styles disabled or overridden by user styles

Check

Find pages or components that rely on CSS for meaning. Verify the page still has a logical reading order, visible labels, instructions, error text, and operable primary actions when author styles are disabled or replaced by user styles.

Fix

Use semantic HTML and DOM order to preserve headings, lists, labels, field groups, helper text, and error messaging without relying on CSS positioning, pseudo-elements, or visual-only cues.

Explain

Explain why semantic HTML and meaningful DOM order let content remain understandable when CSS fails to load or users apply their own styles.

Code Review

Review templates, rendered HTML, and component markup related to Ensure content remains usable without CSS. Flag where meaning, reading order, labels, instructions, or task flow depend on CSS rather than semantics, and note how to verify the fix with styles disabled.
