It loads for requests about a lower Vercel bill, slow or expensive routes, caching, Core Web Vitals, Fluid compute, Fast Data Transfer, Bot Management, Build Minutes or Function Invocations. Next.js, SvelteKit and Nuxt are supported and Astro is limited; for other frameworks the agent asks before running a limited audit. The Vercel Optimize audit starts from metrics, not from reading code. Bundled Node.js scripts collect 14 days of production metrics, usage and project config through the Vercel CLI, scan the codebase and merge the results. A gate script picks which candidates deserve investigation, six by default, and the agent reads only the files tied to each candidate. With three or more investigations it can give each one to its own sub-agent. A Vercel Optimize verification script checks every recommendation against real files, line numbers and a bundled library of version-matched Vercel and framework docs, and strips citations that do not fit. The report states cost impact in words, never in dollar amounts. The skill needs Vercel CLI v53 or later, a signed-in CLI in a linked project, Node.js 20 or later, and Observability Plus for route-level recommendations. ## When to use it - You saw your Vercel bill go up and want to know which routes or settings drive it. - You have routes in a Next.js, SvelteKit or Nuxt app that are slow or rarely served from cache. - You have poor Core Web Vitals and want fixes tied to real traffic. - You want each recommendation to cite the exact files and docs behind it. ## When to pick something else - Your project is not deployed on Vercel yet: the audit starts from production metrics. - You want React performance rules applied while you code: use React Best Practices. ## Which agents it works in Vercel documents it for any AI coding agent that reads Agent Skills, installed with the skills CLI. The open skills CLI also installs it into 78 agents (listed with the CLI on 2026-10-01). With three or more investigations the SKILL.md gives each to its own sub-agent when the host supports them; hosts without sub-agents run them one after another. ## License MIT, stated only in the repository README (no license file). The SKILL.md has no license key, there is no LICENSE file in the skill folder or the repository, and GitHub reports no license (checked 2026-10-01). The only grant is the line "License: MIT" at the end of the repository README, which covers the whole collection. ## Related ### Related skills for cloud and deployment - [Azure deploy](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/microsoft/azure-deploy): azure-deploy is Microsoft's agent skill for deploying an already prepared and validated app to Azure with azd, Bicep or Terraform, with error recovery, role checks and verified https endpoints at the end. - [Azure diagnostics](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/microsoft/azure-diagnostics): azure-diagnostics is Microsoft's agent skill for debugging Azure production problems with AppLens, Azure Monitor and resource health, with guides for App Service, Functions, Container Apps, AKS, VMs and messaging. - [Workers best practices](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/cloudflare/workers-best-practices): workers-best-practices is Cloudflare's agent skill for writing, reviewing and configuring production Cloudflare Workers, built around a table of anti-patterns to flag and current docs over memorized APIs. - [Wrangler](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/cloudflare/wrangler): wrangler is Cloudflare's agent skill for running and troubleshooting the Wrangler CLI: configuring Worker projects, local development, Previews, secrets, deployments, rollbacks and Cloudflare resources such as KV, R2 and D1. ### More from Vercel - [Deploy to Vercel](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/vercel-labs/deploy-to-vercel): Deploy to Vercel is Vercel's agent skill for getting a project live: the agent checks how your project is set up, picks a deploy method and returns a preview link unless you ask for production. - [React Best Practices](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/vercel-labs/vercel-react-best-practices): React Best Practices is Vercel Engineering's agent skill of 70 performance rules for React and Next.js, ranked by impact, which the agent applies when it writes or reviews code. - [React Composition Patterns](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/vercel-labs/vercel-composition-patterns): React Composition Patterns is Vercel's agent skill for React component APIs: compound components, lifted state and explicit variants instead of a growing list of boolean props. - [React Native](https://cookiesforai.app/skills/vercel-labs/vercel-react-native-skills): React Native is Vercel's agent skill of React Native and Expo rules, ranked by impact: list performance, animations, native navigation and UI patterns for faster mobile apps.
