About frontend-math-foundations
A reference skill for applying mathematics to front-end development. It helps front-end developers translate visual or interaction problems into suitable math concepts and decide whether CSS or JavaScript should handle the calculation.
Key features
- 01Route tasks to relevant references
- 02Apply arithmetic and algebra
- 03Use ratios, geometry, and trigonometry
- 04Choose CSS or JavaScript ownership
- 05Follow derivation and debugging workflow
Use cases
- 01Calculate layout dimensions
- 02Implement visual interactions
- 03Debug front-end formulas
- 04Review math implementation choices

From the project READMEFrontend Math Foundations
Use this skill as the foundation layer for front-end math. It helps translate a visual or interaction problem into arithmetic, algebra, ratios, geometry, trigonometry, coordinates, or a CSS-vs-JavaScript ownership decision.
Quick Start
- Read
guidelines.mdto select the smallest relevant file set. - Load
references/math-foundations/rules.mdfor implementation decisions. - Load
references/math-foundations/examples.mdwhen editing code. - Use
workflows/choose-math-approach.mdfor multi-step derivation or debugging.
