What it does

Modern Site Engineering is an agent skill from TheGoat395/Codex-Skills. Integrate systems after frontend direction.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/stack-recipes.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Codex-first Agent Skills library for premium frontend, website, motion, accessibility, QA, and handoff workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/modern-site-engineering”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect project and commands.
  2. Reuse the approved visual system; establish type, color, spacing, media and motion only when those decisions are in scope.
  3. Build version 1 with real content structure.
  4. Run the app locally when possible.
  5. Inspect changed visual output in the browser at the requested supported sizes.
  6. Correct observed spacing, type, hierarchy, interaction, motion or responsive defects on affected surfaces. Repeat checks after edits or…
  7. Run available lint/build/test commands.
  8. Report files changed, commands run, and any errors honestly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feff772. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Modern Site Engineering loads about 858 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~858
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Modern Site Engineering

Operating Mode

Inspect relevant structure, framework, entry files, styling and interaction systems, and available build commands. Proceed within existing authorization and explain material choices.

Selected stack

Retain the selected framework and existing package manager. For a new project with an unresolved choice, use route-enterprise-web-stack if installed. Otherwise, compare the actual rendering, interaction, hosting and maintenance requirements, and choose the smallest compatible stack. Select only dependencies required by the actual components. The roles below are optional capabilities, not an installation list.

Dependency Roles

  • Next.js: routing, metadata, optimized images/fonts, production build.
  • TypeScript: stable component contracts.
  • Tailwind: fast design-system implementation with custom tokens.
  • CSS variables: brand colors, spacing, shadows, easing, radii, typography.
  • Motion: React-native UI motion, enter/exit, hover/tap, layout transitions.
  • GSAP: timeline-driven cinematic sequences, ScrollTrigger, pinned scenes, split text, advanced scroll choreography.
  • Lenis: smooth scrolling when the design calls for cinematic scroll.
  • Three.js/R3F/Drei: immersive product, material, shader, or spatial scenes.
  • lucide-react: icons for controls and clear commands.
  • shadcn/ui: accessible component source to customize, not a default visual identity.
  • Playwright: visual and interaction verification.

Build Workflow

  1. Inspect project and commands.
  2. Reuse the approved visual system; establish type, color, spacing, media and motion only when those decisions are in scope.
  3. Build version 1 with real content structure.
  4. Run the app locally when possible.
  5. Inspect changed visual output in the browser at the requested supported sizes.
  6. Correct observed spacing, type, hierarchy, interaction, motion or responsive defects on affected surfaces. Repeat checks after edits or unresolved findings, not by fixed cycle.
  7. Run available lint/build/test commands.
  8. Report files changed, commands run, and any errors honestly.

Component Defaults

  • Prefer section components with clear names: Hero, FeaturedWork, Experience, Gallery, Offer, Journal, Contact.
  • Keep layout primitives minimal and reusable.
  • Use responsive constraints: clamp(), minmax(), aspect-ratio, stable grid tracks.
  • Avoid text overflow by designing for the longest realistic labels.
  • Make buttons feel designed: icon placement, focus state, hover state, disabled state.
  • Use semantic HTML and accessible labels.
  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion.

Motion Defaults

Use CSS transitions for tiny state changes. Use Motion for component/state animation. Use GSAP only when timeline control or scroll choreography is actually needed. Use Three/R3F only when visual concept benefits from spatial or material interaction.

Read references/stack-recipes.md when starting a new project or adding dependencies.

Ownership

Coordinate integration once framework and direction are chosen. The optional architecture specialist is useful only for an unresolved decision; its absence does not block the local procedure above. A localized task goes directly to its implementation owner; this skill does not require a new site blueprint or full tool stack.
