Use when reviewing stylesheets, component styles, and responsive behavior related to Apply Flexbox best practices. Check the rendered layout across breakpoints and interaction states before proposing a fix.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Apply Flexbox best practices Flexbox is one of the most used CSS features, but its unintuitive default values (flex-shrink:1, min-width:auto) cause layout bugs that are hard to diagnose. Understanding the flex shorthand and the min-width:0 fix prevents the most common Flexbox breakage scenarios. ## Quick Reference - Flexbox is for one-dimensional layouts (a row OR a column) - Use flex: 1 1 0 (shorthand: flex:1) for equal-width items that fill space - Add min-width: 0 to flex children when text overflow truncation doesn't work - Use gap instead of margin for spacing between flex items ## Check Review this CSS for common Flexbox mistakes: missing min-width:0 on text-containing flex children, using margin instead of gap for spacing, and improper flex shorthand usage. ## Fix Fix the Flexbox layout issues: add min-width:0 where needed, replace inter-item margins with gap, and correct flex shorthand values. ## Explain Explain how flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis work, what the flex shorthand means, and why min-width:0 fixes text overflow in flex layouts. ## Code Review …

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/flexbox-patterns@sha256:91aee6fd1188f57eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
