At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Use srcset for responsive images.

  • 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 Use srcset for responsive images

What it does

Srcset is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to Use srcset for responsive images. Check encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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 Use srcset for responsive images

Example prompts

  • “/srcset”

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

Srcset loads about 774 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~774
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.

Use srcset for responsive images

Without srcset, every user—regardless of their device—downloads the same large image. A 1600px hero image served to a 375px mobile display downloads 4x the data needed. The srcset attribute lets browsers choose the optimal file automatically, reducing bandwidth by 50-80% for mobile users with no change to visual quality.

Quick Reference

  • Add srcset with width descriptors (400w, 800w) to all images wider than ~100px
  • Always pair srcset width descriptors with a sizes attribute—without sizes the browser assumes 100vw
  • Use density descriptors (1x, 2x) only for fixed-size images like avatars and icons
  • Keep src pointing to a fallback size for browsers that don't support srcset

Check

Scan all <img> elements in this codebase. Flag: 1) Any <img> wider than 100px (in CSS or layout) that lacks a srcset attribute. 2) Any <img> with srcset but missing a sizes attribute (necessary for width descriptors). 3) Any <img> using only density descriptors (1x, 2x) where width descriptors (400w, 800w) would be more appropriate. 4) Any srcset that provides only one size (no benefit over plain src). Report each finding with file path and line number.

Fix

For each <img> missing srcset: 1) Generate multiple width variants: typically 400w, 800w, 1200w (add 1600w for full-bleed images). 2) Add srcset listing each variant with its width descriptor. 3) Add a sizes attribute describing actual CSS layout width at each breakpoint. 4) Keep src pointing to a mid-range size (800w) as the fallback. 5) Add width and height attributes if missing. For each image, show the complete corrected HTML including srcset and sizes.

Explain

Explain how srcset and the two descriptor types work. Width descriptors (400w, 800w) describe the intrinsic width of each candidate; the browser combines this with the sizes attribute to calculate which candidate provides the best pixel density for the current viewport. Density descriptors (1x, 2x) are simpler but less flexible—use them only for fixed-size images like avatars and icons. The sizes attribute is critical: without it, the browser assumes 100vw and always downloads the largest candidate even on narrow screens.

Code Review

Review image assets, markup, and delivery configuration related to Use srcset for responsive images. Flag exact files or components where format choice, sizing, or loading behavior violates the rule, and describe how to confirm the fix in DevTools.
