At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing security-sensitive web apps, SharedArrayBuffer usage, worker-heavy apps, editors, or measurement features that require cross-origin isolation.

  • Reviewing security-sensitive web apps
  • 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
  • SharedArrayBuffer usage

What it does

Cross Origin Isolation is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing security-sensitive web apps, SharedArrayBuffer usage, worker-heavy apps, editors, or measurement features that require cross-origin isolation. Check both headers and real browser behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 security-sensitive web apps
  • SharedArrayBuffer usage
  • Worker-heavy apps
  • Measurement features that require cross-origin isolation

Example prompts

  • “/cross-origin-isolation”

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

Cross Origin Isolation loads about 565 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~565
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Use COOP, COEP, and CORP for cross-origin isolation when needed

Cross-origin isolation reduces opener-based attacks and XS-Leak risk, and it is required for powerful browser features such as SharedArrayBuffer in modern browsers. It also breaks integrations if deployed carelessly, so it needs a deliberate rollout rather than a copy-pasted header block.

Quick Reference

  • Use Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy together when you need cross-origin isolation
  • Audit every cross-origin script, iframe, image, worker, and font before enforcing COEP
  • Serve embeddable resources with CORS or Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy as appropriate
  • Verify self.crossOriginIsolated === true before depending on isolated-only features

Check

Review security headers and embedded resources for cross-origin isolation. Check whether the app needs COOP/COEP, whether resources are compatible with COEP, and whether the runtime actually becomes crossOriginIsolated.

Fix

Add COOP and COEP only after auditing dependencies, ensure subresources use CORP or CORS as required, and verify the final document becomes crossOriginIsolated in the browser.

Explain

Explain how COOP, COEP, and CORP work together, what they protect against, and why third-party embeds often block a successful rollout.

Code Review

Review server headers, third-party integrations, popups, workers, and asset responses related to Use COOP, COEP, and CORP for cross-origin isolation when needed. Flag exact responses or integrations that would block isolation or break once isolation is enforced.
