## What it is
A one-page questionnaire by Brad Frost that helps development teams establish effective frontend guidelines covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and tooling. It is a reference document meant to spark team conversations and codify consistent coding practices.

## Use cases
- establish frontend coding guidelines for a team
- create a team style guide for HTML and CSS
- spark discussions about frontend best practices
- onboard new developers to team conventions
- standardize tooling and workflow decisions across a frontend team
- document CSS methodology choices like BEM or SMACSS

## When to choose
- your team lacks documented frontend conventions
- you want a ready-made checklist of questions to align on coding standards
- you are starting a new project and need to define team practices early

## When to avoid
- you need executable linting or enforcement tooling rather than a discussion document
- you need guidelines for backend or non-web development
- you want an automatically generated style guide from your codebase

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, tutorials
- platform: -
- tags: frontend-guidelines, questionnaire, team-collaboration, coding-standards, style-guide, html, css, javascript, web-server
