What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/css-minification/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Unminified CSS wastes bandwidth with whitespace, comments, and verbose syntax—minification delivers the same styles in significantly fewer bytes.

Quick Reference

  • Enable minification in build tool (Vite, webpack, etc.)
  • Use cssnano or lightningcss for PostCSS pipelines
  • Typical reduction: 20-40% file size savings
  • Combine with Gzip/Brotli for maximum compression

Check

Verify that all CSS files are minified in production to reduce file size, eliminate whitespace, and improve page load performance.

Fix

Set up CSS minification in your build process using tools like cssnano, CleanCSS, or built-in framework minification to compress CSS files.

Explain

Explain how CSS minification improves website performance by reducing file sizes, decreasing bandwidth usage, and speeding up page load times.
