What problem does it solve? React and Next.js codebases often suffer from slow load times, unnecessary re-renders, and bloated bundles because developers miss subtle performance pitfalls. This Skill provides a structured, prioritized rule set from Vercel Engineering so AI agents and developers consistently apply proven optimization patterns. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 70 Prioritized Rules Across 8 Categories: Covers eliminating async waterfalls, bundle size optimization, server-side performance, client-side data fetching, re-render optimization, rendering performance, JavaScript micro-optimizations, and advanced hook patterns. - Incorrect vs. Correct Code Examples: Every rule includes concrete before/after TypeScript and TSX snippets with impact ratings from CRITICAL to LOW. - Use Case: When refactoring a Next.js page that fetches data sequentially, the Skill guides you to parallelize requests with Promise.all(), add Suspense boundaries, and lazy-load heavy components like Monaco via next/dynamic. ## Quick Start Review my React component for performance issues and apply the relevant Vercel best practice rules to fix any waterfalls or unnecessary re-renders.
