At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing scripts, client components, bundles, or runtime behavior related to Use modern array and object methods.

  • Reviewing scripts
  • 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
  • Client components

What it does

Modern Array Methods is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing scripts, client components, bundles, or runtime behavior related to Use modern array and object methods. Inspect both source code and the browser execution path so fixes target the real bottleneck or bug.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 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 scripts
  • Client components
  • Runtime behavior related to Use modern array and object methods

Example prompts

  • “/modern-array-methods”

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

Modern Array Methods loads about 494 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 194 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~494
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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 modern array and object methods

Modern array and object methods produce code that directly expresses intent — a filter() call self-documents that you're selecting items. Manual for loops obscure the purpose behind implementation details. These methods are also well-optimized by JavaScript engines and support chaining for concise data transformations.

Quick Reference

  • Use map() to transform arrays, filter() to select items, reduce() for aggregation
  • Use find() and findIndex() instead of manual loops with break
  • Use Object.entries() and Object.fromEntries() to transform objects
  • Use structuredClone() for deep copying instead of JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())

Check

Find loops in this file that could be replaced with modern array methods like map, filter, reduce, find, or flatMap.

Fix

Replace manual for/while loops with appropriate array methods to make the code more declarative.

Explain

Explain map, filter, reduce, find, flatMap, and Object.entries with practical examples.

Code Review

Review scripts, client components, and browser execution paths related to Use modern array and object methods. Flag exact imports, event handlers, runtime side effects, or blocking operations that violate the rule, and state how the change should be verified in the browser.


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