vercel-optimize

Cross-agent entry point for the Vercel Optimize skill. The full procedure is in SKILL.md.

Use this skill when the user asks to optimize a Vercel project, reduce a Vercel bill, investigate slow or expensive routes, find caching opportunities, reduce function invocations, or produce a Vercel cost/performance report.

Do not use it for projects that are not deployed on Vercel, greenfield projects with no traffic, or general code review.

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• Vercel CLI with vercel metrics, vercel usage, vercel contract, and vercel api support; v53+ is this skill's compatibility floor
• Authenticated Vercel CLI session
• Linked Vercel project directory (vercel link) for route metrics. VERCEL_PROJECT_ID can help resolve project config, but it does not replace directory linkage for vercel metrics. The project must resolve to a CLI-safe team or personal scope so vercel metrics, vercel usage, and vercel contract all run against the same account.
• Observability Plus for per-route metric analysis

Procedure

1. Read SKILL.md.
2. Collect Vercel signals before reading source files.
3. Gate candidates with deterministic scripts.
4. Investigate only files named by launched candidates.
5. Verify recommendations mechanically before rendering the report.

The hard rules are in references/doctrine.md: observability first, deterministic gates, candidate-bound scope, and version-aware citations.

Install

Preferred:

npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill vercel-optimize

Manual project install:

mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -R <agent-skills-repo>/skills/vercel-optimize .agents/skills/

Then add this to the project AGENTS.md:

When optimizing Vercel cost or performance, follow
`.agents/skills/vercel-optimize/SKILL.md` before proposing changes.
Collect Vercel metrics before reading source files.
