What it does

Share Buttons is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when applies to blog posts, news articles, tutorials, and other long-form content. Less relevant for product pages, service pages, or home pages. Use when optimizing content distribution.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing and Content marketing. 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

  • Applies to blog posts
  • Other long-form content
  • Optimizing content distribution

Example prompts

  • “/share-buttons”

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

Share Buttons loads about 565 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 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
~565
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.

Add share buttons to content pages

Social sharing extends content reach organically — shared articles gain traffic, which can attract backlinks that do contribute to search rankings over time.

Quick Reference

  • Add sharing buttons to article and blog post pages to lower the friction for social distribution
  • Use privacy-friendly share buttons (no third-party scripts): construct share URLs manually
  • X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook share the vast majority of B2B and B2C content
  • Share buttons do not directly affect Google ranking but drive traffic that can result in backlinks

Check

On article and blog post pages, check for social sharing buttons or links. Verify they use the correct share URL format for each platform (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp). Check that share URLs pre-populate the article title and URL. Verify no heavy third-party share scripts are loaded.

Fix

Add share links constructed with platform share URLs (no third-party SDKs required). Use window.location.href or the page's canonical URL as the shared link. Include og:title and og:image so the shared link renders a rich preview.

Explain

Explain how social sharing contributes to content distribution and indirect SEO through traffic and backlinks, why privacy-friendly share links (no tracking scripts) are preferred, and which platforms matter most for a given content type.

Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Add share buttons to content pages. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.


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