Run Lighthouse audits locally via CLI or Node API, parse and interpret reports, and set performance budgets.

  • Measuring site performance
  • SKILL.md covers CLI Quick Start, Common Flags, Performance Budgets and Node API, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls lighthouse, npm and node; needs LHCI_GITHUB_APP_TOKEN
  • Understanding Lighthouse scores

What it does

Perf Lighthouse is an agent skill from tech-leads-club/agent-skills. Run Lighthouse audits locally via CLI or Node API, parse and interpret reports, and set performance budgets. Use when measuring site performance, understanding Lighthouse scores, setting up budgets, or integrating audits into CI. Triggers on: lighthouse, run lighthouse, lighthouse score, performance audit, performance budget. Do NOT use for fixing specific performance issues (use perf-web-optimization or core-web-vitals) or Astro-specific optimization (use perf-astro).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web performance. It works with Astro. The repository describes itself as: The secure, validated skill registry for professional AI coding agents. Extend Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and more with absolute confidence.

When your agent uses it

  • Measuring site performance
  • Understanding Lighthouse scores
  • Setting up budgets
  • Integrating audits into CI

Example prompts

  • “/perf-lighthouse”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in LHCI_GITHUB_APP_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6df68d5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • lighthouse
    • npm
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LHCI_GITHUB_APP_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Perf Lighthouse loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 68 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 68 words (~1,599 tokens).
