HTML, CSS, and JavaScript craft guidelines from bendc/frontend-guidelines — semantics, a11y basics, selector discipline, motion-friendly CSS, and readable JS. Use for markup review, static HTML/CSS, email HTML, or general front-end hygiene; pair with repo frontend rules and TypeScript lint policy.

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

# bendc Frontend Guidelines

## Triggers

Use this skill when the task benefits from **foundational HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS** craft guidance from the vendored [`bendc/frontend-guidelines`](https://github.com/bendc/frontend-guidelines) checklist, including:

- Semantic HTML, document structure, `lang`, charset, and meaningful elements (`main`, `article`, `time`, etc.)
- Accessibility basics called out upstream: `alt` text, real links and buttons, not relying on color alone, labelling controls
- CSS structure: selector weight, avoiding unnecessary `!important`, inheritance, shorthand, flow and layout (flex/grid over absolute positioning when appropriate)
- CSS performance habits: prefer `opacity` / `transform` for animation; avoid animating layout-heavy properties (aligns with repo motion rules)
- Vanilla or legacy JS style: readability, native APIs, avoiding foot-guns called out in the upstream doc

**Also load** `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md` for any **`apps/*` or `packages/ui`** work in this monorepo.

## Do not use when

- The task is strictly backend, migrations, or database-only work.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/bendc-frontend-guidelines@sha256:bd1b2f7351baa05d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
