What it does
Viewport Zoom is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when applies to any <meta name='viewport' element in HTML documents. Check the content attribute for user-scalable=no, user-scalable=0, maximum-scale=1, or maximum-scale values less than 2. This is a common mistake in mobile-first templates and CSS frameworks.
Its SKILL.md is about 890 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 Frontend & Design, covering Responsive design. It works with iOS. 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 any <meta name=viewport element in HTML documents
- Tasks that involve Responsive design
Example prompts
- “viewport”
- “/viewport-zoom”
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
Viewport Zoom loads about 890 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 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.

Do not disable pinch zoom
Pinch-to-zoom is an essential accessibility feature for low-vision users who cannot read text at the page's default size. When zoom is disabled, these users cannot enlarge text or images, making the page completely inaccessible without external magnification software. Low-vision users who rely on browser zoom are entirely blocked. Additionally, all users benefit from being able to zoom in on small text, fine-print, or complex images. Disabling zoom is one of the most harmful and easily preventable accessibility failures.
Quick Reference
- Never use
user-scalable=nooruser-scalable=0in the viewport meta tag - Never set
maximum-scale=1(or any value below 5) in the viewport meta tag - Both prevent pinch-to-zoom, violating WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.4 (Resize Text, Level AA)
- The correct viewport meta tag is:
<meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'> - Note: iOS 10+ ignores
user-scalable=noin Safari, but other browsers and older iOS do not
Check
Find the <meta name='viewport'> element in the HTML <head>. Check its content attribute for: (1) user-scalable=no — disables all zoom; (2) user-scalable=0 — same effect; (3) maximum-scale=1 or maximum-scale=1.0 — limits zoom to the initial scale; (4) any maximum-scale value below 2 — significantly limits zoom range. Flag any of these. Also check CSS for touch-action: none or user-zoom: fixed (CSS Device Adaptation, rarely used) that may limit zoom.
Fix
Remove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1 from the viewport meta tag. The correct viewport meta tag for a responsive site is: <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'>. If maximum-scale was set for a specific reason (e.g., to prevent unintended zoom on input focus on iOS), the correct fix is to set form input font-size: 1rem (16px) instead — iOS Safari only auto-zooms on input focus when font-size is below 16px.

Explain
WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.4 (Resize Text, Level AA) requires that text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, except for captions and images of text. On mobile devices, pinch-to-zoom and the browser's built-in text size settings are the primary mechanisms for resizing text. Setting user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1 in the viewport meta tag disables pinch-to-zoom entirely (or limits it to 1x), preventing low-vision users from enlarging content. This is a direct violation of SC 1.4.4. While iOS 10+ Safari ignores these settings, Android browsers, Chrome for iOS, and older iOS versions do not — so the setting must be removed regardless.
Code Review
Review stylesheets, component styles, and responsive states related to Do not disable pinch zoom. Flag exact selectors, declarations, or breakpoints that violate the rule in the rendered UI.
