At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Use semantic HTML elements.

  • Reviewing templates
  • 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
  • Shared components related to Use semantic HTML elements

What it does

Html5 Semantic Elements is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Use semantic HTML elements. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Use semantic HTML elements

Example prompts

  • “/html5-semantic-elements”

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

Html5 Semantic Elements loads about 449 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.

Use semantic HTML elements

Screen readers use semantic elements to navigate pages—users can jump directly to <main> content or <nav>. Search engines also use semantics to understand content hierarchy.

Quick Reference

  • Use <header>, <main>, <footer> for page structure
  • Use <article> for self-contained content, <section> for grouped content
  • Use <nav> for navigation, <aside> for related/sidebar content
  • Only one <main> per page, but multiple <header>/<footer> allowed

Check

Review this HTML structure to ensure it uses appropriate semantic elements like header, main, section, article, aside, and footer instead of generic div elements.

Fix

Replace generic div elements with semantic HTML5 elements that accurately describe the content structure and purpose.

Explain

Explain how semantic HTML elements improve accessibility, SEO, and code maintainability by providing meaningful structure to web content.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Use semantic HTML elements. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
