At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing long pages, dashboards, or content feeds with expensive offscreen modules.

  • Reviewing long pages
  • 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
  • Content feeds with expensive offscreen modules

What it does

Import On Visibility is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing long pages, dashboards, or content feeds with expensive offscreen modules. Balance early enough loading for smooth scrolling against keeping the initial route light.

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 long pages
  • Content feeds with expensive offscreen modules

Example prompts

  • “/import-on-visibility”

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

Import On Visibility loads about 532 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~532
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Load non-critical code when content approaches the viewport

Many pages ship JavaScript for offscreen sections that a user may never reach. Import-on-visibility keeps the initial route lighter while still loading content early enough to feel ready when users scroll to it.

Quick Reference

  • Use Intersection Observer to start loading code before an offscreen section becomes visible
  • Reserve space with placeholders or skeletons so deferred sections do not cause layout shift
  • Tune rootMargin so heavy content loads early enough without competing with above-the-fold work
  • Use this for charts, reviews, related products, embeds, and offscreen dashboards

Check

Identify components, widgets, or modules that load on first render even though they only appear after the user scrolls. Flag which ones can switch to visibility-based loading.

Fix

Use Intersection Observer or an equivalent framework primitive to load the offscreen component or dependency when it approaches the viewport, while preserving layout stability and a clear placeholder.

Explain

Explain import-on-visibility, how it differs from import-on-interaction, and how viewport-based loading helps large pages stay fast.

Code Review

Inspect scroll-triggered sections, embeds, charts, recommendation modules, and long landing pages. Flag code that is bundled eagerly even though the corresponding UI stays offscreen until later, and verify the deferred version still loads before the user reaches it.
