performance

Optimize UI performance against Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS — with loading/code-split strategy, layout-shift prevention, and animation performance rules.

How to use

  1. Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
  2. Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
  3. Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

Before you start

  • Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
  • Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

Skill: Performance

Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once: ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING On KIT_MISSING only the skill folders were installed, which is what npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the contents of a file you could not open.

Make the UI fast and stable. Treat performance as an accessibility concern — slow/janky UIs fail low-end devices first.

Steps

  1. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/performance.md (Core Web Vitals targets, loading strategy, layout-shift, animation perf, design-system runtime cost).
  2. Diagnose against budgets: LCP ≤ 2.5s, INP ≤ 200ms, CLS ≤ 0.1. Measure on a mid-tier mobile profile (throttle slow 4G + 4× CPU).
  3. Loading: render above-fold first (SSR/Server Components), code-split by route + heavy widget, lazy-load below-fold/behind-interaction (Astro islands / Qwik), preload one critical font weight, modern responsive images.
  4. Kill layout shift: size skeletons to final dimensions, reserve media space via aspect-ratio (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/sizing.json), never inject content above existing.
  5. Animation: only transform/opacity, will-change sparingly, 100–300ms (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/motion.json), honor prefers-reduced-motion. Prefer CSS state styling over JS for low INP; tree-shake/per-component imports.

Verification (definition of done)

  • Lighthouse / field data meets LCP ≤ 2.5s, INP ≤ 200ms, CLS ≤ 0.1 on mid-tier mobile.
  • First interaction stays responsive under slow-4G + 4× CPU throttle.
  • Skeletons + media reserve space (zero CLS on load); no non-compositor animation in loops.

a11y-audit

Audit a UI or design against WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA and ARIA patterns, returning criterion-referenced findings with severity and specific fixes. Use when the user wants an accessibility check, contrast verification, keyboard/screen-reader review, or wants to confirm a component meets POUR.

apply-aesthetic

Apply a visual direction — an archetype (high-end agency, editorial minimal, brutalist, soft-SaaS, dark-tech) or one of 138 named design systems (apple, linear-app, stripe, vercel, notion, material, shadcn, spotify, tesla…) — by resolving it into the token system. Use when the user wants a specific look/vibe/brand feel, or asks to make a design feel premium/expensive/non-generic.

brandkit

Generate a complete, accessible brand design system from a brief — primitive → semantic → component DTCG tokens (color, type, spacing, radius, shadow, motion), light + dark, plus a single theme.css — verified for WCAG. Use when the user wants a from-scratch brand/design foundation, a new palette + type system, or a themeable token kit for a product.

critique

Adversarial design critique of the current work — render it, look at it, and argue for rejection. Run after the gates are green, never instead of them.
