startup-and-bundle-size SKILL.md skillA

startup-and-bundle-size from yuiseki/map-from-scratch is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yuiseki/map-from-scratch/startup-and-bundle-size@git:20261026.79a684e

Pins git:20261026.79a684e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

What map engines did to cut the bytes they ship (code, workers, WASM, fonts, decoders) and the work they do before the first frame (context, shaders, workers, parsing), what they reverted, and how that applies to a map-from-scratch renderer. Load it when a request names a page-size, download or start-up limit ("under 150 KB", "opens instantly", "slow network", "embedded widget"), when `total_gzip_bytes`, `code_gzip_bytes` or `first_frame_ms` misses its budget, or before adding a worker, a WASM…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Startup and bundle size: what ships and what runs before the first frame

Two costs come before a user sees a map: the bytes downloaded (page, code,
workers, WASM, fonts, data) and the work done before the first frame
(context creation, shader compile and link, worker start, decoding,
parsing, font loading). General engines have spent years removing both:
WebGL1 paths, runtime renderer switches, eagerly bundled decoders, worker
code duplicated per worker, a shader-binary cache that did not pay. In
this repository the code is already small and the data is not: the
browser examples ship 1-4 KB of gzipped code next to 4 KB to 17.5 MB of
gzipped data, and MapLibre GL JS for the same request as 02 ships 286 KB
of code and reaches its first frame in 826 ms against 02's 3.3 KB and
227 ms [1]. So the job here is mostly to keep out what engines later had
to remove, and to spend the effort on data bytes and start-up work.
Per-engine detail, with more numbers, is in
[references/engines.md](references/engines.md). Neighbouring skills:
Range reads and archive layout are in `data-range-requests`, fetch queues
and caches in `tile-cache-and-loading`, glyphs in `text-rendering`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yuiseki/map-from-scratch/startup-and-bundle-size@sha256:c26812f9aff342ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.79a684e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
