name: webperf-core-web-vitals\ndescription: Intelligent Core Web Vitals analysis with automated workflows and decision trees. Measures LCP, CLS, INP with guided debugging that automatically determines follow-up analysis based on results. Includes workflows for LCP deep dive (5 phases), CLS investigation (loading vs interaction), INP debugging (latency breakdown + attribution), and cross-skill integration with loading, interaction, and media skills. Use when the user asks about Core Web Vitals, LCP optimization, layout shifts, or interaction responsiveness.

WebPerf: Core Web Vitals

\n

JavaScript snippets for measuring web performance in Chrome DevTools.

\n

Running a script

\n
    \n
  1. Run the script with mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script and read the object it returns. The scripts have no console output, so the returned object is the result: script, status and the metric data (value, rating, details, items, issues), as described in references/schema.md.
    2. \n
  2. When status is \"tracking\", the script keeps observing the page. After the interactions, call the function named in getDataFn with another mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script call, for example getINP(), and read the object it returns.
    3. \n
  3. When status is \"error\" or \"unsupported\", read error: the page may not have loaded yet, or the browser lacks the API.
    4. \n
\n

Without Chrome DevTools MCP, run the same snippet with the webperf-snippets CLI, which loads the page in headless Chromium and prints the same result objects: npx webperf-snippets <url> --snippet <Name> --json, where <Name> is the script name without .js. It needs Playwright and Chromium (npm install --save-dev webperf-snippets playwright, then npx playwright install chromium), and tracking snippets take --interact-script <file> to drive the interactions.

Common Workflows

\n

Complete Core Web Vitals Audit

\n

When the user asks for a comprehensive Core Web Vitals analysis or \"audit CWV\":

\n
    \n
  1. LCP.js - Measure Largest Contentful Paint
    2. \n
  2. CLS.js - Measure Cumulative Layout Shift
    3. \n
  3. INP.js - Measure Interaction to Next Paint
    4. \n
  4. LCP-Subparts.js - Break down LCP timing phases
    5. \n
  5. LCP-Trail.js - Track LCP candidate evolution
    6. \n
\n

LCP Deep Dive

\n

When LCP is slow or the user asks \"debug LCP\" or \"why is LCP slow\":

\n
    \n
  1. LCP.js - Establish baseline LCP value
    2. \n
  2. LCP-Subparts.js - Break down into TTFB, resource load, render delay
    3. \n
  3. LCP-Trail.js - Identify all LCP candidates and changes
    4. \n
  4. LCP-Image-Entropy.js - Check if LCP image has visual complexity issues
    5. \n
  5. LCP-Video-Candidate.js - Detect if LCP is a video (poster or video element)
    6. \n
\n

CLS Investigation

\n

When layout shifts are detected or the user asks \"debug CLS\" or \"layout shift issues\":

\n
    \n
  1. CLS.js - Measure overall CLS score
    2. \n
  2. Layout-Shift-Loading-and-Interaction.js (pending — available in webperf-interaction skill)
    3. \n
  3. Cross-reference with webperf-loading skill:\n\n
    4. \n
\n

INP Debugging

\n

When interactions feel slow or the user asks \"debug INP\" or \"slow interactions\":

\n
    \n
  1. INP.js - Measure overall INP value; call getINP() after interactions, getINPDetails() for the 15 slowest interactions
    2. \n
  2. Interactions.js (pending — available in webperf-interaction skill)
    3. \n
  3. Input-Latency-Breakdown.js (pending — available in webperf-interaction skill)
    4. \n
  4. Long-Animation-Frames.js (pending — available in webperf-interaction skill)
    5. \n
  5. Long-Animation-Frames-Script-Attribution.js (pending — available in webperf-interaction skill)
    6. \n
\n

Video as LCP Investigation

\n

When LCP is a video element (detected by LCP-Video-Candidate.js):

\n
    \n
  1. LCP-Video-Candidate.js - Identify video as LCP candidate
    2. \n
  2. Video-Element-Audit.js (from Media skill) - Audit video loading strategy
    3. \n
  3. LCP-Subparts.js - Analyze video loading phases
    4. \n
  4. Cross-reference with webperf-loading skill:\n\n
    5. \n
\n

Image as LCP Investigation

\n

When LCP is an image (most common case):

\n
    \n
  1. LCP.js - Measure LCP timing
    2. \n
  2. LCP-Subparts.js - Break down timing phases
    3. \n
  3. LCP-Image-Entropy.js - Analyze image complexity
    4. \n
  4. Cross-reference with webperf-media skill:\n\n
    5. \n
  5. Cross-reference with webperf-loading skill:\n\n
    6. \n
\n

Decision Tree

\n

Use this decision tree to automatically run follow-up snippets based on results:

\n

After LCP.js

\n\n

After LCP-Subparts.js

\n\n

After LCP-Trail.js

\n\n

After LCP-Image-Entropy.js

\n\n

After LCP-Video-Candidate.js

\n\n

After CLS.js

\n\n

After INP.js

Error Recovery

Cross-Skill Triggers

\n
\n

Context fork note: This skill runs with context: fork. Cross-skill triggers below are recommendations to report back to the parent agent, not direct calls this subagent can execute. When a cross-skill trigger fires, tell the user which skill and script to run next. Scripts marked (pending) are not yet available — skip them and note the limitation.

\n
\n

These triggers recommend using snippets from other skills:

\n

From LCP to Loading Skill

\n\n

From CLS to Loading Skill

\n\n

From INP to Interaction Skill

\n\n

From LCP/INP to Interaction Skill

\n\n

Multi-Metric Correlation

\n

When multiple CWV metrics are poor, prioritize investigation:
