At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Use <figure and <figcaption for image captions.

  • Reviewing image assets
  • 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
  • Build transforms related to Use <figure and <figcaption for image captions

What it does

Figure Figcaption is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Use <figure and <figcaption for image captions. Check encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 image assets
  • Build transforms related to Use <figure and <figcaption for image captions

Example prompts

  • “/figure-figcaption”

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

Figure Figcaption loads about 816 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~816
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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 <figure> and <figcaption> for image captions

Using a <p> tag as a caption is invisible to assistive technology as an image description. The <figure>/<figcaption> pattern creates a machine-readable relationship between an image and its caption, which screen readers surface to users. It also communicates to search engines that the caption describes the image, supporting image SEO.

Quick Reference

  • Wrap image + visible caption pairs in <figure> with <figcaption> as a direct child
  • <figcaption> must be the first or last child of <figure>
  • Do not duplicate alt text in figcaption—alt is the fallback, figcaption is the visible description
  • <figure> is appropriate for images, code blocks, diagrams, and charts—not every image

Check

Scan the codebase for images with adjacent visible text that acts as a caption (e.g., a <p> or <span> immediately below an <img> describing it). Verify: 1) Such image-caption pairs are wrapped in <figure>. 2) The caption text is inside a <figcaption> element. 3) <figcaption> is a direct child of <figure>. 4) The alt text on the <img> is not identical to the <figcaption> text—they serve different purposes. Flag any <img> followed by descriptive text that is not structured as figure/figcaption.

Fix

For each image with an adjacent caption: 1) Wrap the <img> and its caption text in a <figure> element. 2) Move the caption text into a <figcaption> element inside <figure>. 3) Review the <img> alt attribute—if the figcaption already fully describes the image for sighted users, the alt can be shorter or empty (alt="") only if the figcaption alone is sufficient for screen readers too; otherwise keep a concise alt. 4) Position <figcaption> as the first or last child of <figure>. Show the corrected HTML.

Explain

Explain the semantic meaning of <figure> and <figcaption>. The <figure> element represents self-contained content (an image, code sample, diagram) that is referenced from the main content but could be moved without affecting the document flow. <figcaption> provides a caption or legend for the figure. Screen readers announce the figcaption in association with the figure, giving users context. Without this markup, sighted users see a caption but screen reader users hear only the alt text with no indication that a visible caption exists.

Code Review

Review image assets, markup, and delivery configuration related to Use <figure> and <figcaption> for image captions. Flag exact files or components where format choice, sizing, or loading behavior violates the rule, and describe how to confirm the fix in DevTools.
