performance

Optimize UI performance against Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS — with loading/code-split strategy, layout-shift prevention, and animation performance rules. Use when the user wants to improve speed, fix jank or layout shift, hit Web Vitals budgets, or make a UI feel fast on low-end devices.

# Skill: Performance

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

## Steps
1. Read `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` (`tokens/sizing.json`), never inject content above existing.
5. Animation: only `transform`/`opacity`, `will-change` sparingly, 100–300ms (`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.

More from this repository

a11y-auditSkill

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-aestheticSkill

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.

brandkitSkill

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.

design-codeSkill

Generate production-ready, accessible, token-driven component code for ANY framework — React+Tailwind, Next.js, SwiftUI, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, Web Components/Lit, React Native, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, vanilla CSS, or CSS-in-JS. Use when the user wants working UI code for a component or screen in a specific stack.

design-componentSkill

Design a UI component spec to the house quality bar — anatomy, variants, sizes, the 8 states, token mapping, and accessibility. Use when the user wants to design or document a component (button, input, tabs, toast, combobox, date picker, modal, etc.) at the spec level before or alongside code. For generating framework code, use design-code.

design-qaSkill

Set up or run design QA gates — token + hardcoded-value lint, automated a11y (axe), contrast, visual regression across variants/states/themes/RTL, and the manual a11y checklist. Use when the user wants CI quality gates, to prevent design regressions, or to QA a component/screen before shipping.

design-reviewSkill

Review or audit a design/UI across 6 weighted dimensions with Nielsen's 10 heuristics and a prioritized findings table. Use when the user wants a design critique, quality score, heuristic evaluation, or audit of an existing screen, page, or product before/after build.

design-tokensSkill

Generate, extend, or audit design tokens in DTCG format with the 3-tier architecture (primitive → semantic → component). Use when the user wants a color palette, type scale, spacing/shadow/radius/motion tokens, multi-brand theming, or wants to validate token files. Covers colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, breakpoints, motion, gradients, opacity, blur, sizing, states, theming.
