Vercel Optimize
Use for Vercel cost and performance optimization on deployed projects, especially Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and limited Astro apps. Collect Vercel metrics, usage, project config, and code scan results first; investigate only metric-backed candidates; produce ranked recommendations grounded in verified files and version-aware Vercel/framework docs. Trigger for Vercel bill reduction, slow or expensive routes, caching opportunities, Function Invocations, Build Minutes, Fast Data Transfer, Core Web Vitals, Bot Management, Fluid compute, or cost breakdown requests.

From the SKILL.md
# Vercel Optimize Run an observability-first Vercel optimization audit. Do not inspect source files until `signals.json` exists and a deterministic gate points to a route, file, or project setting. Core doctrine: read [references/doctrine.md](references/doctrine.md) if any rule is unclear. - Metrics first. Recommendations start from Vercel production signals, not repo-wide grep. - Deterministic gates. `scripts/gate-investigations.mjs` decides what deserves investigation. - Candidate-bound scope. Read only files named by a candidate or a route-local import chain. - Version-aware citations. Use only `references/docs-library.json`; invalid or version-mismatched citations are stripped. - Customer copy. Read [references/voice.md](references/voice.md) before writing report text or chat output. ## Prerequisites - Vercel CLI v53+ with `vercel metrics`, `vercel usage`, `vercel contract`, and `vercel api`. - Authenticated CLI session: `vercel login`. - Linked app directory: `vercel link`. `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` can help resolve project config, but `vercel metrics` still requires directory linkage. The link or environment must include the intended project org/team/user scope so the collector can resolve a CLI-safe `--scope` and keep `vercel metrics`, `vercel usage`, and `vercel contract` on the same account. - Node.js 20+. - Observability Plus for route-level metric-backed recommendations.
