At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Validate HTML against W3C standards.

  • Reviewing templates
  • 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
  • Shared components related to Validate HTML against W3C standards

What it does

W3c Compliant is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Validate HTML against W3C standards. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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 Development. 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 templates
  • Shared components related to Validate HTML against W3C standards

Example prompts

  • “/w3c-compliant”

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

W3c Compliant loads about 421 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.4k

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.

Validate HTML against W3C standards

Invalid HTML causes unpredictable rendering across browsers, breaks accessibility tools, and makes debugging significantly harder.

Quick Reference

  • Use validator.w3.org or browser extensions for validation
  • Fix errors first, then warnings (errors cause rendering issues)
  • Integrate validation into CI/CD with html-validate
  • Common issues: unclosed tags, invalid nesting, missing attributes

Check

Validate HTML markup using the W3C HTML Validator to identify and fix markup errors that could cause cross-browser compatibility issues.

Fix

Run HTML through W3C validator and fix reported errors including unclosed tags, missing attributes, and invalid nesting.

Explain

Explain why W3C HTML validation is important for cross-browser compatibility, accessibility, and maintainable code.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Validate HTML against W3C standards. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.


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