At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing scripts, client components, bundles, or runtime behavior related to Use Web Storage API safely.

  • Reviewing scripts
  • 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
  • Client components

What it does

Web Storage is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing scripts, client components, bundles, or runtime behavior related to Use Web Storage API safely. Inspect both source code and the browser execution path so fixes target the real bottleneck or bug.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 scripts
  • Client components
  • Runtime behavior related to Use Web Storage API safely

Example prompts

  • “/web-storage”

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

Web Storage loads about 506 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~506
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.

Use Web Storage API safely

localStorage and sessionStorage have a 5–10 MB quota per origin, and any write can throw a QuotaExceededError. Private browsing modes in some browsers disable storage entirely and throw on all writes. Applications that don't handle these errors crash silently, leaving users unable to use the app.

Quick Reference

  • Always wrap localStorage access in try/catch — storage can be full or disabled
  • Serialize objects with JSON.stringify and validate on read with JSON.parse
  • Never store sensitive data (tokens, passwords) in localStorage — use httpOnly cookies
  • Use sessionStorage for tab-scoped data that shouldn't persist

Check

Find all localStorage and sessionStorage accesses in this file. Check for missing try/catch, unhandled JSON parsing, and any storage of sensitive data.

Fix

Add try/catch error handling to all Web Storage operations and ensure all object values are properly serialized and deserialized.

Explain

Explain the Web Storage API, its limitations, when to use localStorage vs sessionStorage, and what data should never be stored there.

Code Review

Review scripts, client components, and browser execution paths related to Use Web Storage API safely. Flag exact imports, event handlers, runtime side effects, or blocking operations that violate the rule, and state how the change should be verified in the browser.
