At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing stylesheets, component styles, and responsive behavior related to Optimize web font formats.

  • Reviewing stylesheets
  • 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
  • Component styles

What it does

Webfont Format is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing stylesheets, component styles, and responsive behavior related to Optimize web font formats. Check the rendered layout across breakpoints and interaction states before proposing a fix.

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 Frontend & Design, covering Typography, CSS and styling and Responsive design. 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 stylesheets
  • Component styles
  • Responsive behavior related to Optimize web font formats

Example prompts

  • “/webfont-format”

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

Webfont Format loads about 418 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~418
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.8k

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.

Optimize web font formats

Modern font formats reduce file sizes by 30-50%—directly improving page load speed and Core Web Vitals scores.

Quick Reference

  • Use WOFF2 as primary format (~30% smaller than WOFF)
  • Include WOFF fallback for older browsers
  • Apply font-display: swap for better perceived performance
  • Preload critical fonts and subset to reduce file sizes

Check

Verify that web fonts use modern formats (WOFF2, WOFF) with proper fallbacks and are optimized for performance with font-display and preloading strategies.

Fix

Convert fonts to WOFF2/WOFF formats, implement proper font loading strategies, and optimize font delivery with compression and caching.

Explain

Explain how modern web font formats reduce file sizes, improve loading performance, and provide better browser support compared to legacy formats.

Code Review

Review stylesheets, component styles, and responsive states related to Optimize web font formats. Flag exact selectors, declarations, or breakpoints that violate the rule in the rendered UI.
