About the project

Web Quality Skills is a collection of agent skills for measuring and improving website performance, accessibility, search optimization, and browser usability. Developers use it with any web framework to run Lighthouse and Chrome DevTools checks, analyze Core Web Vitals and CrUX data, and apply WCAG and SEO guidance. The catalogue entries are the project's own skills, instructions, and plugin for agent-assisted web-quality work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

best-practices scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 481 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Best practices

Modern web development standards based on Lighthouse best practices audits. Covers security, browser compatibility, and code quality patterns.

Evidence-led audit workflow

When a rendered page is available:

  1. Run a live Lighthouse Best Practices audit when that capability is available; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use lighthouse_audit. Use navigation mode for a normal page load or snapshot mode when the current state must be preserved.
  2. Inspect the listed console and network failures and fetch individual details only when they support a finding.
  3. Supplement runtime evidence with dependency, header, configuration, and source inspection; Lighthouse is not a complete security assessment.
  4. Fix the implicated code, re-run the same audit, and keep security findings separate from style preferences.

If live tools are unavailable, use the Lighthouse CLI plus focused dependency and header checks. Never report a high Lighthouse score as proof that the application is secure.

Security

Read the security reference when security is in scope or a live audit surfaces a related failure. It covers HTTPS/HSTS, CSP and Trusted Types, Subresource Integrity, headers, dependencies, sanitization, and cookies.

At minimum:

  • Use HTTPS without mixed content. Add HSTS only after confirming every relevant subdomain supports HTTPS.
  • Treat a strict CSP as defense in depth. Prefer nonces or hashes and test with report-only before enforcement.
  • Sanitize untrusted HTML and protect DOM XSS sinks. Prefer text APIs when markup is not required.
  • Pin and review third-party code. Use SRI where the delivery model supports it and keep dependencies patched.
  • Verify response headers at runtime. Source configuration alone does not prove what the deployed page sends.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
