Show HN: Get your coding agent off ~2019 JavaScript, onto modern web primitives
Modern Web Guidance is a new tool designed to help coding agents generate modern, high-performance web code rather than relying on outdated JavaScript patterns. It is supported by major browser vendors to ensure AI-generated code follows current best practices.
Why it matters
As AI becomes a primary tool for software development, ensuring that AI models produce modern, efficient code is critical for the health of the web ecosystem.
Modern Web Guidance is a set of skills that embed web platform expertise, best practices, and browser compatibility data directly into your coding agents. It helps to steer your coding agents away from legacy patterns, and instead toward solutions that harness the power and capabilities of the modern web platform.
Stewarded by the Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and MDN teams, alongside the web development community.
