web-quality-skills
💡 Summary
A collection of AI agent skills for auditing and optimizing web projects based on Google Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals best practices.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “It's like giving a detailed car manual to someone who can only shout advice from the passenger seat.”
The skill set provides advisory analysis only and does not execute code, presenting minimal direct risk. However, if integrated into an agent with shell/filesystem access, its optimization advice (e.g., 'install this package', 'modify this config') could be weaponized via prompt injection to suggest malicious changes. Mitigation: Strictly sandbox the agent's execution environment and treat all skill-suggested commands as untrusted.
Web Quality Skills
An (unofficial) comprehensive collection of Agent Skills for optimizing web projects based on Google Lighthouse guidelines and Core Web Vitals best practices.
Stack-agnostic. Works with any framework: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, plain HTML, and more.
Why web quality skills?
While interface guidelines tell you what to build, Web Quality Skills tell you how to build it performantly, accessibly, and optimally for search engines. These skills encode the collective wisdom from:
- 150+ Lighthouse audits across Performance, Accessibility, SEO, and Best Practices
- Core Web Vitals optimization patterns (LCP, INP, CLS)
- Real-world performance engineering experience
- WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards
- Modern SEO requirements

Lighthouse score targets
| Category | Target score | |----------|--------------| | Performance | ≥ 90 | | Accessibility | 100 | | Best Practices | ≥ 95 | | SEO | ≥ 95 |
Framework-specific notes
These skills are framework-agnostic, but some common patterns:
React/Next.js: Use next/image, React.lazy(), Suspense, useCallback/useMemo for INP
Vue/Nuxt: Use nuxt/image, async components, v-once, computed properties
Svelte/SvelteKit: Use {#await}, svelte:image, reactive statements
Astro: Use <Image>, partial hydration, view transitions
Static HTML: Use native lazy loading, <picture>, preconnect hints

Pros
- Comprehensive coverage of web quality metrics (Performance, A11y, SEO).
- Framework-agnostic design ensures wide applicability.
- Clear trigger phrases and usage examples for easy activation.
- Based on established industry standards (Lighthouse, WCAG).
Cons
- Relies on the agent's ability to analyze code and suggest fixes, not execute them.
- May generate generic advice without deep project context.
- Requires the hosting agent to have relevant knowledge (e.g., specific frameworks).
- Potential for conflicting suggestions if multiple skills activate.
