At a glance

A skill your agent uses when checking whether a web server is configured to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

  • Checking whether a web server is configured to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
  • 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

What it does

HTTP To Https is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when checking whether a web server is configured to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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

  • Checking whether a web server is configured to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

Example prompts

  • “/http-to-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

HTTP To Https loads about 512 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512
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.

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

Without an HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, users who type the domain without https:// or follow old links land on the insecure version of the site, exposing session cookies and form data to network attackers.

Quick Reference

  • Redirect http://example.com to https://example.com with HTTP 301 (permanent redirect)
  • Preserve the full path and query string in the redirect: https://$host$request_uri
  • Use 301 (not 302) so browsers and search engines cache the redirect and future requests go directly to HTTPS
  • Configure redirects at the server/CDN level — never rely on client-side JavaScript for security redirects
  • After validating HTTPS works, add HSTS to eliminate future HTTP requests entirely

Check

Test whether http://example.com redirects to https://example.com with a 301 status code. Check that the full URL path and query string are preserved in the redirect Location header.

Fix

Configure the web server to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS with a 301 status code, preserving the full request path. Verify the redirect with curl -I http://example.com.

Explain

Explain why redirecting HTTP to HTTPS is necessary, the difference between 301 and 302 redirects, and how HSTS can eliminate the redirect for returning users.

Code Review

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