web-quality-audit

web-quality-audit is a skill for Claude Code from addyosmani/web-quality-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evidence-based review of a website’s performance, accessibility, search-engine readiness, security-related practices, and suitability for browser-using agents. It combines live browser checks with inspection of the site’s source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit representative pages and user journeys, identify quality issues, apply fixes, and rerun equivalent checks to verify the results.
Why use it?
It separates measured problems from code-based suspicions and ranks findings by user impact and confidence. This makes it easier to choose concrete fixes instead of relying only on an overall score.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00058 $0.02328
Opus 5 $0.00029 $0.01164
Sonnet 5 $0.00012 $0.00466

Security

Grade A, and why

web-quality-audit scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyze.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web quality audit

Comprehensive quality review that combines live browser evidence with source inspection. Covers Performance, Accessibility, SEO, Best Practices, and Agentic Browsing without treating an aggregate score as proof of quality.

Lighthouse 13+. The Performance category now uses shared Performance Insights across Lighthouse and the DevTools Performance panel (announcement). Follow current insight names and evidence. Do not require removed audit IDs or automatically recreate their recommendations; some were retired because they were noisy, inactionable, or easy to over-recommend.

How it works

  1. Establish the audit target: representative URLs, important states and journeys, public versus authenticated access, and mobile/desktop scope.
  2. If a page can run, read the measurement workflow and collect a minimal live baseline before searching the codebase broadly.
  3. Use runtime failures to localize source inspection. Keep measured findings separate from hypotheses found only in code.
  4. Categorize by user impact and confidence, then make or recommend specific fixes.
  5. Re-run equivalent automated checks and the affected manual flows. Report what is verified and what still needs field or human validation.

Tool routing

Use the best capability already available; do not block the audit on optional setup.

Need Preferred route Fallback
Performance and Core Web Vitals Record a browser performance trace and analyze focused insights; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use performance_start_trace then performance_analyze_insight Lighthouse CLI or PageSpeed Insights lab data
Real-user performance CrUX values included in current DevTools trace summaries PageSpeed Insights/CrUX Vis; direct CrUX API only when a key is already available or automation is requested
Accessibility, SEO, Best Practices, Agentic Browsing Run a live Lighthouse audit; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use lighthouse_audit Category-specific Lighthouse CLI audits plus manual checks
Rendered semantics and interaction Inspect the accessibility tree and exercise the UI; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use take_snapshot and focused evaluate_script Browser/manual testing
Source smoke test scripts/analyze.sh <path> Direct source inspection

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.
