# Performance Budget Validator

This skill provides automated assistance for performance budget validator tasks.

## Overview

This skill allows Claude to automatically validate your application's performance against predefined budgets. It helps identify performance regressions and ensures your application maintains optimal performance characteristics.

## How It Works

1. **Analyze Performance Metrics**: Claude analyzes current performance metrics, such as page load times, bundle sizes, and API response times.
2. **Validate Against Budget**: The plugin validates these metrics against predefined performance budget thresholds.
3. **Report Violations**: If any metrics exceed the defined budget, the skill reports violations and provides details on the exceeded thresholds.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:
- Validate performance against predefined budgets.
- Identify performance regressions in your application.
- Integrate performance budget validation into your CI/CD pipeline.

## Examples

### Example 1: Preventing Performance Regressions

User request: "Validate performance budget for the homepage."

The skill will:
1. Analyze the homepage's performance metrics (load time, bundle size).
2. Compare these metrics against the defined budget.
3. Report any violations, such as exceeding the load time budget.

### Example 2: Integrating with CI/CD

User request: "Run performance budget validation as part of the build process."

The skill will:
1. Execute the performance budget validation command.
2. Check all defined performance metrics against their budgets.
3. Report any violations that would cause the build to fail.

## Best Practices

- **Budget Definition**: Define realistic and achievable performance budgets based on current application performance and user expectations.
- **Metric Selection**: Choose relevant performance metrics that directly impact user experience, such as page load times and API response times.
- **CI/CD Integratio
