When your agent uses it

  • Auditing slow page loads
  • Rendering delays related to Optimize largest contentful paint

Example prompts

  • “/largest-contentful-paint”

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

Largest Contentful Paint loads about 441 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~441
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

LCP is the most important Core Web Vital for perceived load speed—it measures when the main content becomes visible, directly impacting user perception and SEO rankings.

Quick Reference

  • LCP measures when the largest element renders—target under 2.5s
  • Use preload for hero images and critical resources
  • Optimize image formats and use responsive sizes
  • Reduce server response time (TTFB)

Check

Measure LCP using Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights. Verify the largest visible element renders within 2.5 seconds.

Fix

Optimize LCP by preloading critical resources, optimizing images, using CDN, and reducing server response time.

Explain

Explain how LCP measures perceived load speed by tracking when the largest visible content element becomes visible.

Code Review

Review the routes, assets, and loading behavior that affect Optimize largest contentful paint. 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.
