When your agent uses it
- Applies primarily when creating new content pages

Example prompts
- “/stop-words”
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
Stop Words loads about 521 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

URL Stop Words
Shorter, keyword-focused URL slugs are easier for users to read and share; removing stop words is a minor hygiene improvement, especially for new content.
Quick Reference
- Stop words (a, an, the, of, in, to, for, etc.) in URL paths add length without contributing to keyword relevance
- Modern search engines can understand context without stop words in URLs
- Removing stop words makes URLs shorter, cleaner, and easier to share
- Do not change existing URLs just to remove stop words — redirect risk outweighs minimal benefit for established pages
Check
Analyze URL slugs on content pages and flag stop words in the path (e.g., /blog/the-best-ways-to-improve-your-seo could be /blog/best-ways-improve-seo). Focus on new pages; do not flag established pages with backlinks unless redirects are already planned.
Fix
For new pages, configure the CMS or slug generator to strip common stop words automatically. For existing pages, only remove stop words if a URL overhaul with proper 301 redirects is already planned.
Explain
Explain what stop words are in the context of URLs, why modern search engines handle them fine in page content but slugs benefit from brevity, and when it is not worth changing existing URLs.
Code Review
Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to URL Stop Words. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
