Vercel optimize

Finding and fixing what is slow or expensive in a Vercel-hosted app.

Installation

$ npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills

The CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in vercel-labs/agent-skills, not vercel-optimize alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.

Summary

Finding and fixing what is slow or expensive in a Vercel-hosted app.

  • Reach for it when a bill or a p95 that moved and nobody knows which deploy did it.
  • Sits in Operate & maintain — production reality: debugging, performance, instrumentation, and writing down why the system is the way it is.
  • Assumes web.
  • Published by Vercel Labs, who ship the thing it is about — a stronger claim than a well-regarded engineer having written something good.
  • Installing pulls the whole vercel-labs/agent-skills repository: this catalogue lists 4 other entries from it, and the repo may hold more.

The full text lives with its publisher and changes when they change it. Read it there rather than here — a mirrored copy of somebody else's procedure goes stale silently, and this page would have no way of telling you.
