Today, with AI programming tools evolving rapidly, how to make AI better understand complex framework specifications has become a new challenge for developers. AIbase learned that the renowned cloud development platform Vercel has officially launched an open-source project called Agent Skills. This is not just a simple set of instructions, but more like a "skill manager" specifically designed for AI agents, aiming to transform industry best practices into standardized skills that AI can directly call.

The initial core skills of this project focus on performance optimization for React and Next.js, as well as web design reviews and Vercel automated deployment. AIbase learned that the operation logic of Agent Skills is very close to developers' habits, and the installation process is similar to the familiar npm command. Once installed, these skills can be recognized by mainstream AI programming assistants such as Claude Code and Cursor, providing precise guidance during code writing and review processes.

Notably, Vercel has condensed its experience accumulated over the past 10 years in the front-end field into more than 140 solid rules. For example, the react-best-practices skill helps AI identify and fix performance bottlenecks such as network waterfall and large package size. In this way, developers no longer need to write tedious prompts (Prompt) for each project, but can instead let AI instantly become a senior engineer with ten years of experience through standardized skill packages.

Key points:

  • 🛠️ Standardized Skill Management:Agent Skills provides an open format that allows different AI programming agents to share and load unified optimization rules and scripts.

  • 🧠 Integrated Ten Years of Experience: It includes more than 40 React performance rules and over 100 UI/UX design guidelines, covering multiple dimensions such as accessibility, animations, and responsive layout.

  • ⚡ Seamless Integration into Workflows: It supports injecting skills into Claude Code or Cursor through simple command-line tools, enabling full-chain acceleration from code review to Vercel automated deployment.
