At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Serve images at the correct display size.

  • Reviewing image assets
  • 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
  • Build transforms related to Serve images at the correct display size

What it does

Responsive Size is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Serve images at the correct display size. Check encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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 image assets
  • Build transforms related to Serve images at the correct display size

Example prompts

  • “/responsive-size”

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

Responsive Size loads about 805 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~805
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

Serve images at the correct display size

A single oversized hero image can add several megabytes to a page load unnecessarily. On mobile devices with 375px screens, serving a 1600px image downloads 4x the data users need. The 'Properly size images' Lighthouse audit consistently identifies this as one of the highest-impact performance opportunities on most websites.

Quick Reference

  • Serving a 1600px image in a 400px container wastes ~16x the necessary bandwidth
  • Use srcset with width descriptors and sizes with actual layout widths
  • The sizes attribute is critical—without it the browser assumes 100vw and picks the largest image
  • Lighthouse 'Properly size images' audit reports estimated savings per oversized image

Check

Audit images in this codebase for oversizing. Use Lighthouse 'Properly size images' audit results as the primary signal. For each <img> in the HTML: 1) Compare the image file's intrinsic width to the element's rendered CSS width (check CSS rules, container constraints). 2) Flag any image where the intrinsic width is more than 2x the rendered width at any common viewport size. 3) Check for srcset usage—images over 200px wide should have srcset variants. 4) Check sizes attribute accuracy—does it reflect the actual CSS layout?

Fix

For each oversized image: 1) Generate multiple size variants: 400w, 800w, 1200w, 1600w (use Sharp or Squoosh). 2) Add srcset listing each variant with its width descriptor. 3) Add a sizes attribute describing the image's display width at each breakpoint (e.g., sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 1200px) 50vw, 400px"). 4) For art direction (different crops), use <picture> with media attributes. 5) For the <img> src fallback, use the medium size (800w). Show complete before/after HTML.

Explain

Explain why serving oversized images wastes bandwidth. If a browser renders an image at 400px wide but the image file is 2000px wide, the browser downloads ~25x more pixel data than it can display (bandwidth scales with pixel count, not linear dimensions). The Lighthouse 'Properly size images' audit estimates potential savings in KiB for each oversized image. The sizes attribute is the key to accuracy—without it, the browser assumes 100vw and downloads the largest srcset candidate even on narrow viewports.

Code Review

Review image assets, markup, and delivery configuration related to Serve images at the correct display size. Flag exact files or components where format choice, sizing, or loading behavior violates the rule, and describe how to confirm the fix in DevTools.
