core-web-vitals

core-web-vitals is a skill for Claude Code from jgamaraalv/ts-dev-kit. It costs 126 tokens per session (1,375 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for Google's three Core Web Vitals: loading speed (LCP), interaction response (INP), and visual stability (CLS). It explains the thresholds and tools used to measure real-user and laboratory results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit page performance, monitor visitors with the web-vitals JavaScript library, and investigate problems with LCP, INP, or CLS.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose why a page loads slowly, responds late, or shifts while loading, using consistent measurements instead of guesswork.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00126 $0.01375
Opus 5 $0.00063 $0.00687

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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/visualize.py), 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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core Web Vitals

The three stable Core Web Vitals, each measured at the 75th percentile of real page loads (segmented by mobile and desktop):

<quick_reference>

Metric Measures Good Needs Improvement Poor
LCP — Largest Contentful Paint Loading ≤ 2.5 s 2.5–4.0 s > 4.0 s
INP — Interaction to Next Paint Interactivity ≤ 200 ms 200–500 ms > 500 ms
CLS — Cumulative Layout Shift Visual stability ≤ 0.1 0.1–0.25 > 0.25

A page passes Core Web Vitals only if all three metrics meet "Good" at the 75th percentile.

Supporting metrics (non-Core but diagnostic)

  • FCP (First Contentful Paint) — diagnoses render-blocking resources upstream of LCP
  • TTFB (Time to First Byte) — server response time; directly affects LCP
  • TBT (Total Blocking Time) — lab proxy for INP; identifies long tasks

Tools matrix

Tool Type LCP INP CLS Notes
Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) Field 28-day rolling window of real users
PageSpeed Insights Field + Lab Field = CrUX data; Lab = Lighthouse
Search Console CWV report Field Groups URLs by template
Chrome DevTools Performance panel Field + Lab Local profiling, interaction tracing
Lighthouse Lab TBT* CI integration; INP → use TBT as proxy

*Lighthouse uses Total Blocking Time (TBT) as a lab proxy for INP. TBT correlates with INP but does not replace field measurement.

Metric lifecycle

Metrics progress through: Experimental → Pending → Stable. All three current Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) are Stable. INP replaced FID (First Input Delay) in March 2024. Changes to stable metrics follow an annual cadence with advance notice.

</quick_reference>

Quick setup: measure all three in the field

npm install web-vitals
import { onCLS, onINP, onLCP } from 'web-vitals';

function sendToAnalytics(metric) {
  const body = JSON.stringify(metric);
  (navigator.sendBeacon && navigator.sendBeacon('/analytics', body)) ||
    fetch('/analytics', { body, method: 'POST', keepalive: true });
}

onCLS(sendToAnalytics);
onINP(sendToAnalytics);
onLCP(sendToAnalytics);

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

core-web-vitals is a skill published in the GitHub repository jgamaraalv/ts-dev-kit (15 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 1,375 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
