Modern Web Guidance
Searches and applies up-to-date web platform best-practice guides before any HTML/CSS/client-side JS work.
What it does
Before writing frontend code, Claude calls the modern-web-guidance npm package to look up the current best-practice guide for the task at hand.
search "<query>"returns ranked guide candidates with similarity scores and token countsretrieve "<id>"pulls the full guide: implementation steps, browser-support data, fallback strategies- A verification step cross-checks generated code against the guide for correct modern patterns and fallbacks
- Baseline-aware fallback logic, plus prompts to document a project browser-support policy in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md
Coverage includes modals/popovers, anchor positioning, container queries, :has(), View Transitions, scroll-driven animations, LCP/INP tuning, content-visibility, File System Access, WebUSB, and framework adaptation. It explicitly does not trigger for backend, SQL, Docker, or CI/CD work.
Who it's for
- Frontend developers tired of LLMs suggesting obsolete CSS/JS patterns
- Anyone who wants to check native platform capabilities before adding a dependency
- React/Vue/Angular teams standardizing layout and styling approaches
- Projects that need consistent browser-support and fallback policies
Example uses
- "The hero image loads slowly" → retrieves the LCP image priority guide and applies Fetch Priority
- "Build a dropdown anchored to this button" → suggests the Popover API plus CSS anchor positioning instead of a JS positioning library
- "Add a page transition animation" → pulls the View Transitions guide and implements it as progressive enhancement
- "This long content page janks while scrolling" → applies content-visibility and
hidden="until-found"deferred rendering

- Make sure Node.js is installed (
node -v); the skill relies onnpx. - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git /tmp/marketplace - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r /tmp/marketplace/pending/googlechrome/modern-web-guidance ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code and confirm
modern-web-guidanceappears in your skills list. - When prompted for command permissions, allowlist only
npx -y modern-web-guidance@latest *— never barenpx *. - In sandboxed setups, approve outbound network access up front and set
NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=/tmp/npm-cacheif~/.npmis read-only. On Windows usenpx.cmd. - Test with a frontend prompt such as "build an accessible modal dialog" and verify the skill triggers.
