Front-End Checklist

Front-End Checklist is an open-source collection of front-end quality rules and curated workflows for modern web development. It focuses on helping developers review websites against a shared set of standards for launch, accessibility, performance, security, privacy, SEO, and related front-end work.

The site describes 350+ rules across 11 categories, including Accessibility, CSS, HTML, I18n, Images, JavaScript, Performance, Privacy, Security, SEO, and Testing. It also offers curated checklists for guided use cases such as a Launch Checklist, an SEO Audit, Performance Quick Wins, and Accessibility Essentials. Those checklists are described for different stages and roles, including junior developers, senior reviewers, launch teams, and AI-assisted audits, and some entries include rule counts and estimated completion times.

Front-End Checklist also includes an AI Integration section that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect the same standards to AI tools such as Claude and Cursor. The page says this can be used to review code, fetch rules, run focused workflows, generate quick references for CI/CD pipelines, and keep assistants grounded in the same standards used on the site. It also mentions smart search for finding rules by category or keyword.

The project is free for individuals, and the checklist is described as free forever. It is open source and MIT licensed. The page also notes that the project was originally created by David Dias and that it is currently in beta.
