Set and enforce explicit performance budgets before writing frontend code, not measure after the fact — outcome metrics (LCP/INP/CLS) and the causal resource budgets that actually produce them (JS shipped, image weight, font loading, third-party scripts, critical request count, hydration cost). Use whenever adding a dependency, image, route, or client component, or when a page "feels slow" and the cause isn't obvious. Trigger on "bundle size", "Core Web Vitals", "hydration…

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

# Frontend Performance Budgets

An outcome metric (LCP, INP, CLS) tells you the page is slow. It does not tell
you what to change — that requires tracing the outcome to the causal resource
that produced it. This skill keeps the two separate on purpose: **outcome
metrics** are what the user experiences and what you measure in the field;
**causal budgets** are what you constrain at build/review time because they
are the actual levers.

Composes with the library:

- **resource-exhaustion-review** — covers cost blow-up from *untrusted input*
  size (server-side); this skill covers cost from *your own* shipped
  resources (client-side), a different axis of the same discipline
- **frontend-component-boundaries** — client/server component boundary
  decisions in RSC frameworks directly gate hydration cost, one of the causal
  budgets below
- **non-overwhelming-ux** — perceived speed and jank contribute to cognitive
  load; this skill supplies the mechanism, that skill the user-facing
  rationale

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add annatchijova/skills/frontend-performance-budgets@sha256:bf30dcc0a2c5f3fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.d250213, 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.
