What it does

HTML Resource Hints is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Add resource hints (preload, prefetch, dns-prefetch). Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 templates
  • Shared components related to Add resource hints (preload

Example prompts

  • “/html-resource-hints”

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

HTML Resource Hints loads about 526 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 220 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
~526
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.

Add resource hints (preload, prefetch, dns-prefetch)

The browser's HTML parser discovers resources sequentially — a font referenced in a CSS file won't be fetched until the CSS is parsed. Resource hints break this dependency chain, allowing the browser to start fetching critical resources in parallel with parsing. A single preload directive for a critical font can eliminate a 100–300ms Flash of Invisible Text.

Quick Reference

  • preload forces immediate download of resources needed by the current page
  • prefetch fetches resources likely needed for the next navigation (low priority)
  • dns-prefetch resolves DNS for third-party origins in advance
  • preconnect does DNS + TCP + TLS for origins you'll connect to soon

Check

Look at this HTML file for late-discovered critical resources — fonts referenced in CSS, hero images, and key scripts. Identify where preload or preconnect hints would help.

Fix

Add appropriate preload hints for critical fonts, images, and scripts. Add preconnect for third-party domains used early in the page.

Explain

Explain each resource hint type (preload, prefetch, preconnect, dns-prefetch), when to use each, and the consequences of misusing them.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Add resource hints (preload, prefetch, dns-prefetch). Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.
