At a glance

A skill your agent uses when applies to all CSS font-size declarations, particularly those using px units for body text, UI labels, and navigation.

  • Applies to all CSS font-size declarations
  • 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
  • Particularly those using px units for body text

What it does

Font Size is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when applies to all CSS font-size declarations, particularly those using px units for body text, UI labels, and navigation. Use when auditing mobile responsiveness and accessibility compliance. Check for font-size in media queries targeting small screens.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 Responsive design, Regulatory compliance and Accessibility. 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

  • Applies to all CSS font-size declarations
  • Particularly those using px units for body text
  • Auditing mobile responsiveness and accessibility compliance

Example prompts

  • “/font-size”

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

Font Size loads about 896 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 482 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~896
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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 readable font sizes on mobile

Approximately 1 in 3 adults over 65 increases their browser's default font size. Low-vision users who cannot use screen magnifiers rely on browser font size settings as their primary accessibility tool. If font sizes are set in px only, browser font size preferences are ignored entirely. Text smaller than 16px on mobile forces all users to zoom in, breaking the page layout and triggering horizontal scroll. iOS Safari's auto-inflation of sub-12px text causes unintended layout shifts.

Quick Reference

  • Body text should be at least 16px (1rem) on mobile — smaller sizes force users to zoom
  • Avoid font-size values below 12px; iOS Safari ignores values below 12px and auto-inflates them
  • Use rem or em units instead of px so text scales with the user's browser font size preference
  • Never set font-size: 100% on <html> using an override that blocks user scaling — respect the browser default (16px)
  • WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.4 (Resize Text, Level AA): text must be resizable up to 200% without loss of content or functionality

Check

Find all CSS font-size declarations. Flag: (1) body text or paragraph text set below 16px (or 1rem); (2) any font-size below 12px; (3) font-sizes set in px on <html> or <body> that override the browser default; (4) font-sizes that do not scale proportionally when the browser zoom is set to 200% (test in Chrome DevTools by setting font-size in browser settings or using zoom). Check that text remains readable and layout does not break at 200% zoom.

Fix

(1) Convert pixel font sizes to rem units: divide the pixel value by 16 (the browser default) — e.g., 14px becomes 0.875rem. (2) Set body text to at least 1rem (16px equivalent) on mobile. (3) Replace html { font-size: 10px } (a common reset trick) with html { font-size: 62.5% } or avoid font-size resets entirely — instead use rem values calculated from the actual 16px base. (4) If small text is intentional (captions, footnotes), ensure it is at least 0.75rem (12px) and use font-size: 0.75rem so it scales with user preferences.

Explain

WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires that text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, except for captions and images of text. Using px units for font sizes makes text immune to browser font size settings (though not to browser zoom). Using rem or em units allows text to scale with the root font size, which the user can adjust in browser settings — this is the preferred approach. iOS Safari also has a built-in heuristic that inflates text smaller than 12px when the page is displayed in mobile view, which can cause layout inconsistencies.

Code Review

Review stylesheets, component styles, and responsive states related to Use readable font sizes on mobile. Flag exact selectors, declarations, or breakpoints that violate the rule in the rendered UI.
