Use Cases

Real-world ways to use web-quality-skills

Fix a slow LCP on a product landing page

👤 Frontend engineers trying to get a green CWV ⏱ ~40 min intermediate

When to use: CrUX shows LCP at 3.8s and you don't know where to start.

Prerequisites
  • Target URL — Live or staging URL — not just local
Flow
  1. Run the core-web-vitals skill
    Use the core-web-vitals skill on https://site.com. Focus on LCP.✓ Copied
    → Diagnosis of the LCP element (hero image, web font, server response) with specific fix
  2. Apply the fix
    Apply the recommended priority hints and image format change.✓ Copied
    → Concrete HTML changes
  3. Re-measure
    How do I verify the improvement?✓ Copied
    → Guided re-measure via Lighthouse or web-vitals JS

Outcome: LCP under the 2.5s target with a documented fix path.

Pitfalls
  • Fixing lab LCP but not field LCP (CrUX) — Always verify in CrUX, not just local Lighthouse

Run a WCAG 2.2 accessibility audit on a checkout flow

👤 Engineers preparing for an accessibility review ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

When to use: Legal is asking about WCAG compliance for the checkout.

Flow
  1. Run the accessibility skill
    Use the accessibility skill on our checkout flow. What WCAG 2.2 issues exist?✓ Copied
    → Structured findings per WCAG success criterion with severity
  2. Prioritize fixes
    Group by fix-effort vs user impact.✓ Copied
    → Ordered backlog

Outcome: A real accessibility backlog, not a checklist you can't act on.

Pitfalls
  • Automated checks only catch ~30% of issues — Complement with keyboard-only and screen-reader manual testing
Combine with: playwright-skill

Run the full web-quality-audit before a marketing campaign

👤 Teams about to drive paid traffic ⏱ ~30 min intermediate

When to use: Big campaign starts Monday and you want no nasty surprises.

Flow
  1. Run the combined audit
    Use web-quality-audit on our campaign landing page.✓ Copied
    → Report spanning performance, CWV, accessibility, SEO, best-practices
  2. Triage for launch
    What must be fixed before launch vs can wait?✓ Copied
    → Go/no-go triage

Outcome: A launch-ready page and a week-2 backlog.

Pitfalls
  • Treating every finding as blocker — The skill prioritizes — trust the must-fix list

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

Capture a perf trace via chrome-devtools, then have the performance skill analyze it.✓ Copied
