webperf-interaction

A set of browser scripts for investigating delays in web interactions and animations. It measures input latency, long tasks, long animation frames, scroll performance, layout shifts, and forced synchronous layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in Chrome DevTools to audit responsiveness, debug slow interactions, investigate scroll jank, and find work blocking the browser's main thread.
Why use it?
It helps show why a page feels slow or jerky when users click, type, scroll, or trigger animations, and can connect delays to the scripts causing them.

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

webperf-interaction 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/Forced-Synchronous-Layout.js, scripts/Input-Latency-Breakdown.js, scripts/Interactions.js, …), 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.

WebPerf: Interaction & Animation

JavaScript snippets for measuring web performance in Chrome DevTools. Execute with mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script, capture output with mcp__chrome-devtools__get_console_message.

Scripts

  • scripts/Forced-Synchronous-Layout.js — Forced Synchronous Layout Detector
  • scripts/Input-Latency-Breakdown.js — Input Latency Breakdown
  • scripts/Interactions.js — Interactions
  • scripts/Layout-Shift-Loading-and-Interaction.js — Layout Shift Tracking
  • scripts/Long-Animation-Frames-Helpers.js — LoAF Helpers
  • scripts/Long-Animation-Frames-Script-Attribution.js — Long Animation Frames Script Attribution
  • scripts/Long-Animation-Frames.js — Long Animation Frames (LoAF)
  • scripts/LongTask.js — Long Tasks
  • scripts/Scroll-Performance.js — Scroll Performance Analysis

Common Workflows

Complete Interaction Performance Audit

When the user asks for interaction analysis or "audit responsiveness":

  1. Interactions.js - List all user interactions with timing
  2. Input-Latency-Breakdown.js - Break down interaction phases
  3. Long-Animation-Frames.js - Detect blocking animation frames
  4. LongTask.js - Identify long tasks blocking the main thread
  5. Scroll-Performance.js - Measure scroll smoothness

INP Deep Dive

When INP is slow (>200ms) or the user asks "debug INP" or "slow interactions":

  1. Interactions.js - Identify which interactions are slow
  2. Input-Latency-Breakdown.js - Break down into input delay, processing time, presentation delay
  3. Long-Animation-Frames.js - Find animation frames >50ms that block interactions
  4. Long-Animation-Frames-Script-Attribution.js - Identify scripts causing the blocking
  5. Long-Animation-Frames-Helpers.js - Get detailed timing and attribution helpers

Scroll Jank Investigation

When the user reports "scroll jank", "choppy scrolling", or "scroll performance issues":

  1. Scroll-Performance.js - Measure scroll smoothness and frame drops
  2. Long-Animation-Frames.js - Detect frames causing jank (>50ms)
  3. Layout-Shift-Loading-and-Interaction.js - Check for layout shifts during scroll
  4. Long-Animation-Frames-Script-Attribution.js - Find scripts running during scroll

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.

webperf-interaction is a skill published in the GitHub repository nucliweb/webperf-snippets (1,445 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 2,797 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.
