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

core-web-vitals 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 7d 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.

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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SEO Technical: Core Web Vitals

Guides optimization of Core Web Vitals (CWV)—Google's user experience metrics that affect search ranking. CWV are confirmed ranking factors for mobile and desktop.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope (Technical SEO)

  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Loading performance; time to render largest content element
  • INP (Interaction to Next Paint): Responsiveness; replaced FID in March 2024
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Visual stability; unexpected layout shifts

Target Thresholds (75th percentile, field data)

Metric Target Good Needs Improvement Poor
LCP ≤2.5s ≤2.5s 2.5–4.0s >4.0s
INP ≤200ms ≤200ms 200–500ms >500ms
CLS <0.1 ≤0.1 0.1–0.25 >0.25

Source: Google Page Experience

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for site URL.

Identify:

  1. Tools: GSC Core Web Vitals report, PageSpeed Insights, Chrome DevTools
  2. Metrics: Which metric is failing (LCP, INP, CLS)
  3. Page type: Hero, article, product, list—LCP candidate differs

LCP Optimization

LCP measures the time until the largest content element (image, video, or text block) is visible.

Cause Fix
Slow server response Reduce TTFB; use CDN; optimize server
Render-blocking resources Defer non-critical CSS/JS; inline critical CSS
Large images WebP/AVIF; compress; width/height to prevent CLS; see image-optimization
Client-side rendering SSR/SSG for above-fold content; see rendering-strategies
Third-party scripts Load async; defer non-critical
