What it does
Https Downgrade is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when auditing a site's internal and external links for protocol consistency, migrating a site from HTTP to HTTPS, or reviewing hardcoded URLs in a codebase that may use http:// instead of https://.
Its SKILL.md is about 800 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
- Auditing a sites internal and external links for protocol consistency
- Migrating a site from HTTP to HTTPS
- Reviewing hardcoded URLs in a codebase that may use http:// instead of https://
Example prompts
- “/https-downgrade”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Audit all values in templates and content for http://` links.
- For internal links: change http://yourdomain.com/path to /path (relative) or https://yourdomain.com/path.
- For external links: check if the destination supports HTTPS; update to https:// if so.
- For resource links (scripts, styles, images): always use https:// or protocol-relative //.
- In your CMS or database: run a search-and-replace to update stored HTTP URLs to HTTPS.
- Set up a server-level redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to catch any remaining HTTP URLs in user-generated content.
- Verify with: grep -r 'href="http://' ./templates/ or use a link auditing tool.
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
Https Downgrade loads about 804 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 404 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Do not link from HTTPS to HTTP
Linking from a secure HTTPS page to an HTTP destination creates a mixed content situation that browsers warn users about or block entirely. It also means the linked page does not receive the ranking signal passed through the HTTPS referrer. For internal links, it can cause redirect loops or broken navigation.
Quick Reference
- All internal links on an HTTPS page must point to HTTPS URLs — HTTP links trigger mixed content warnings
- External links to HTTP destinations break the security chain and may be blocked by browsers
- Use protocol-relative URLs (
//example.com) or absolute HTTPS URLs — never hardcodehttp://for internal links
Check
On pages served over HTTPS, scan all <a href> attributes for URLs starting with http:// (not https://). Flag: (1) Internal links using http:// that should use https:// or a relative path. (2) External links to third-party sites still on HTTP (flag for review — the destination may not support HTTPS). (3) Resource links (<img src>, <script src>, <link href>) pointing to HTTP URLs — these cause active mixed content warnings.
Fix
- Audit all
<a href>values in templates and content forhttp://links. - For internal links: change
http://yourdomain.com/pathto/path(relative) orhttps://yourdomain.com/path. - For external links: check if the destination supports HTTPS; update to
https://if so. - For resource links (scripts, styles, images): always use
https://or protocol-relative//. - In your CMS or database: run a search-and-replace to update stored HTTP URLs to HTTPS.
- Set up a server-level redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to catch any remaining HTTP URLs in user-generated content.
- Verify with:
grep -r 'href="http://' ./templates/or use a link auditing tool.

Explain
HTTPS is a confirmed Google ranking factor. When an HTTPS page links to HTTP resources or destinations, it downgrades the secure context, triggering browser warnings and potentially blocking content. For internal links, HTTP destinations mean an extra redirect (HTTP→HTTPS) on every navigation, slowing page loads. The ranking signal passed via the link's referrer is also diminished when crossing from HTTPS to HTTP.
Code Review
Parse all <a href>, <img src>, <script src>, and <link href> attributes. Flag any value starting with http:// (not https:// or a relative path). In JavaScript frameworks, also check for http:// in fetch(), axios, or router navigation calls. Report the count of HTTP links by category (internal, external, resource).
