AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a structured way to access up-to-date web development patterns, ensuring that implementations follow modern standards rather than relying on potentially outdated training data. It covers a wide range of frontend topics including UI components, performance optimization, browser APIs, and form handling. By integrating this tool, developers can search for specific use cases and retrieve detailed, framework-agnostic guides that include browser support and fallback recommendations.
What it does
- Searches for standardized web development patterns and best practices.
- Retrieves detailed implementation guides for specific frontend use cases.
- Provides guidance on browser compatibility and necessary fallbacks.
- Helps avoid ad-hoc solutions and unnecessary dependency bloat.
- Supports modern web features like container queries, view transitions, and performance APIs.
When to use it
- At the beginning of any frontend feature implementation.
- Before creating new components to check for existing standardized patterns.
- When evaluating the browser support requirements for modern web features.
- When needing to implement performance optimizations like LCP or content-visibility.
Advantages
- Ensures use of current, recommended web development practices.
- Reduces technical debt by discouraging ad-hoc implementations.
- Provides clear guidance on handling browser compatibility and fallbacks.
- Promotes the use of native browser capabilities over heavy external dependencies.
Usage examples
- “I need to implement a modal using modern web standards. What is the best approach?”
- The agent searches for modal-related guides and retrieves the recommended implementation pattern, including any necessary browser fallbacks.
- “How can I optimize the loading priority of my LCP images?”
- The agent searches for image optimization guides and retrieves the specific instructions for using fetch priority to improve performance.

Modern Web Guidance
A skill to search for specific web development use cases and retrieve their corresponding best practice guides.
When to use
Must use this skill:
At the start of implementing any web feature.
Before creating a new component, to check if a standardized pattern already exists.
To avoid implementing ad-hoc solutions or loading large dependencies unnecessarily.
Usage Instructions
Step 1. Search Use Cases
Search with an action-oriented query summarizing what you want to achieve using the search command. Run modern-web-guidance directly with npx.
npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest search "<query>" --skill-version 2026_05_16-c5e7870Example Output:
[
{
"id": "optimize-image-priority",
"description": "Optimize the loading priority of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) candidate images.",
"category": "performance",
"featuresUsed": [ "Fetch priority" ],
"tokenCount": 985,
"similarity": 0.7289
},
{
"id": "defer-rendering-heavy-content",
"description": "Reduce rendering times in content-heavy web pages by deferring rendering for offscreen content.",
"category": "performance",
"featuresUsed": [ "content-visibility", "hidden=\"until-found\"" ],
"tokenCount": 1250,
"similarity": 0.6961
}
]Note: If search results are vague, return no matches, or show low similarity scores, run the
listcommand to browse all guides:npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest list
Step 2. Retrieve Best Practices
Once you have a relevant id from the search results, call this script using the retrieve command to get the full guide. You can pass multiple IDs separated by commas.
npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest retrieve "<id>"Example Output:
The markdown content of the guide describing implementation steps...
Using npx
IMPORTANT: on Windows, using
npxmay fail. Usenpx.cmd ...instead.Network access is required for fetching npm packages needed by the task.
If the
npx -y modern-web-guidance…command hangs, you may be offline. Try running again in offline mode:npx --offline ….The
--skill-versionflag is used to determine if this SKILL.md is out of date. If it is, a warning message is logged to stderr.
Guidelines
Always search first to find the most relevant guides.
These guides are usually framework-agnostic; adapt them correctly to your setup.
Do not hallucinate guides or ignore them; they represent the preferred local standard for the user's project.
Interpreting Browser Support & Fallbacks
Default Behavior: All guides assume Baseline Widely available features are safe to use without fallbacks. For features that are not Baseline widely available, you MUST follow the fallback recommendations in the guide, unless the user has specified a custom browser support policy.
Custom Policies: If the user has already defined explicit browser support requirements, use the browser compatibility data in the guide to determine if a fallback can be safely ignored.
For Baseline YYYY targets, a feature satisfies this target if its "Baseline since" date is <= YYYY.
Policy Examples:
"Do not implement feature fallbacks." (for exploratory prototypes of the cutting-edge web)
"Safari 17.4+" (for internal tools targeting macOS or Tauri-based desktop apps)
"Never recommend or implement polyfills; if a Baseline Newly Available feature is required for core functionality, provide a lightweight custom fallback or redesign the approach." (to minimize bundle size and avoid technical debt)
"Assume a modern execution environment where Baseline Newly Available features can be used natively, provided they are strictly feature-detected and degrade gracefully." (for progressive enhancement strategies)
Reactive Policy Discovery: Watch for environmental cues to suggest documenting a policy in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Suggest this if the developer:
Mentions building for a restricted runtime (e.g., Electron or Tauri).
Explicitly excludes specific targets (e.g., "we don't support Desktop Chrome").
Expresses hesitation about polyfill complexity, bundle size, or performance cost.
Questions if a feature is safe to use without fallbacks.
No defined policy format. This is an example:
**Browser Support:** Allow Newly Available features, but only adopt custom fallback code that adds <= 20 lines and does not require external dependencies.
