Choose flock if…
- flock is primarily Rust; Front-End-Checklist is MDX.
- Tags unique to flock: deekseek, ai, langgraph-rust, harness.

When NOT to use flock
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

When NOT to use Front-End-Checklist
- - For projects strictly limited to backend development as it focuses on frontend practices and is designed for frontend workflows.
- - In small-scale hobby projects where comprehensive quality reviews might be overkill given the scope of application. Smaller projects may not require such an extensive set of rules and guidelines.
- - If your project already has a well-established, customized checklist that meets all your needs and does not require integration with MCP-capable agents for automated frontend code review.
