At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing utility functions, component props, or template strings that format numbers, prices, or dates to check whether Intl APIs are used correctly.

  • Reviewing utility functions
  • 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
  • Component props

What it does

Currency Formatting is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing utility functions, component props, or template strings that format numbers, prices, or dates to check whether Intl APIs are used correctly.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 utility functions
  • Component props
  • Template strings that format numbers
  • Dates to check whether Intl APIs are used correctly

Example prompts

  • “/currency-formatting”

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

Currency Formatting loads about 593 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 253 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~593
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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 Intl APIs for currency, number, and date formatting

Number and currency formatting rules differ significantly across locales — a value formatted as "$1,234.56" in the US is written "1.234,56 $" in Germany and "¥1,235" in Japan. Hardcoded formatting causes incorrect display for international users and is expensive to maintain manually as you add locales.

Quick Reference

  • Never hardcode currency symbols or thousand separators like $ or comma
  • Use Intl.NumberFormat with the currency style for monetary values
  • Use Intl.DateTimeFormat for locale-aware date and time display
  • Pass the user locale explicitly rather than relying on the browser default
  • Use Intl.Collator and locale fallback chains for sorting and searching

Check

Identify all places in this codebase where numbers, currencies, or dates are formatted manually instead of using Intl.NumberFormat or Intl.DateTimeFormat. Also flag locale-sensitive sorting that uses plain string comparison instead of Intl.Collator and any formatter that lacks a fallback locale.

Fix

Replace manual number and currency formatting with Intl.NumberFormat and replace manual date formatting with Intl.DateTimeFormat, passing the user locale explicitly. Use Intl.Collator for locale-aware sorting and resolve a supported fallback locale when the requested locale is unavailable.

Explain

Explain why locale-aware formatting with Intl APIs is required for international applications, what goes wrong when formatting is hardcoded, and why sorting/searching should also use locale-aware comparison.

Code Review

Review utility functions and components that render numbers, prices, percentages, or dates. Flag any hardcoded currency symbols, separators, or date format strings, and show Intl-based alternatives.
