How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerVercel preview deployment succeededVercelVercel
  • LogicFilter to preview builds on an open PR
  • ActionMeasure perf and a11y metrics in headless browserBrowserbase
  • LogicCompare metrics against budgets, flag breaches
  • OutputPost scorecard and set perf-budget commit statusGitHubGitHub

What it does

Guards performance and accessibility on every preview. After a preview deploys, a headless browser measures load metrics (first contentful paint, total blocking time, accessibility score) on the preview URL and compares them to your budgets. If anything blows the budget, the PR is blocked with a scorecard showing exactly which metric regressed and by how much.

When to use it

Use it when speed and a11y are product requirements and you want a hard gate that stops a slow or inaccessible page from merging, rather than discovering the regression in production.

How it works

  1. 1Vercel emits a deployment-succeeded webhook with the preview URL and commit SHA.
  2. 2A filter limits the run to preview builds on an open PR.
  3. 3Browserbase loads the key pages and captures performance and accessibility metrics.
  4. 4Logic compares each metric to its budget and flags any breach.
  5. 5GitHub receives a `perf-budget` commit status and a scorecard comment listing measured values versus budgets, blocking merge on any failure.

Set it up

  3. 3
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
