At a glance

A skill your agent uses when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Optimize JavaScript bundle size.

  • Auditing slow page loads
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Rendering delays related to Optimize JavaScript bundle size

What it does

JS File Size is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when auditing slow page loads, heavy assets, or rendering delays related to Optimize JavaScript bundle size. Verify the actual bottleneck in DevTools, Lighthouse, or field data before recommending changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Web performance. It works with JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing slow page loads
  • Rendering delays related to Optimize JavaScript bundle size

Example prompts

  • “/js-file-size”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

JS File Size loads about 408 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~408
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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.

Optimize JavaScript bundle size

Excessive JavaScript increases parse and execution time, especially on low-end devices, leading to sluggish user experiences and high data costs.

Quick Reference

  • Keep individual JS bundles under 200KB (compressed)
  • Large bundles delay Time to Interactive (TTI) and First Input Delay (FID)
  • Use code-splitting and tree-shaking to reduce unused code

Check

Review the JavaScript bundle sizes and identify any files exceeding 200KB (Gzip/Brotli).

Fix

Implement code-splitting, tree-shaking, and dependency audits to reduce the size of the JavaScript bundles.

Explain

Explain how large JavaScript files impact the main thread and delay user interactivity (FID/TTI).

Code Review

Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Optimize JavaScript bundle size. Flag exact files, requests, or rendering steps that add unnecessary network, CPU, or layout cost, and describe the measurement method used to confirm the issue.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
