At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing HTML forms, fetch/XHR calls, and form action attributes to ensure data is submitted exclusively over HTTPS.

  • Reviewing HTML forms
  • 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
  • Fetch/XHR calls

What it does

Form Https is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing HTML forms, fetch/XHR calls, and form action attributes to ensure data is submitted exclusively over HTTPS.

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 works with JavaScript. 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 HTML forms
  • Fetch/XHR calls
  • Form action attributes to ensure data is submitted exclusively over HTTPS

Example prompts

  • “/form-https”

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

Form Https loads about 552 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~552
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

Submit forms over HTTPS

A login form that posts credentials to an HTTP endpoint sends usernames and passwords as plain text over the network — anyone on the same Wi-Fi, the ISP, or a network proxy can read them without any special tools.

Quick Reference

  • Every <form action> URL must use https:// — never http://
  • Forms without an explicit action attribute submit to the current page URL — ensure the page itself is on HTTPS
  • Check fetch() and XMLHttpRequest calls in JavaScript — data posted to http:// endpoints is unencrypted
  • Browsers show a 'Not Secure' warning in the address bar when a form is on an HTTP page
  • From Chrome 86+, autofill is disabled on HTTP forms to protect credentials

Check

Scan all HTML form elements for action attributes pointing to http:// URLs. Check all JavaScript fetch() and XMLHttpRequest calls for http:// endpoints. Verify the current page URL is HTTPS so forms without an explicit action submit securely.

Fix

Replace all http:// form action URLs with https:// equivalents. Ensure the web server redirects HTTP to HTTPS (301) so that forms on the page also benefit. For JavaScript API calls, update all endpoint URLs to use https://.

Explain

Explain why form submissions over HTTP expose user data in transit, how network attackers can intercept plain HTTP traffic, and what the browser security indicators look like on insecure forms.

Code Review

Review server config, headers, forms, and integration points related to Submit forms over HTTPS. Flag exact responses, cookies, or browser behaviors that violate the rule, and verify them against the effective production-like response.
