Full skill instructions

Interaction Latency

Time from user tap to action successfully completed.

When to Use

  • "Add to cart" button tapped → cart updated
  • "Submit" button tapped → form processed
  • "Like" button tapped → state changed
  • Any tap that triggers async work

Measurement Pattern

TAP → START_SPAN → [async work] → END_SPAN
  1. Capture tap timestamp
  2. Start span with operation name
  3. End span when action confirms success
  4. Include success/​failure outcome

Key Thresholds

RatingDuration
Good<300ms
Acceptable<1s
Poor>1s

Implementation

See references/​ui-performance.md (Entry Point Latency section) for platform-specific code.

Common Mistakes

  • Ending span on API call start (not completion)
  • Not tracking failure cases
  • Missing the tap timestamp (starting late)

Related Skills

  • See skills/​navigation-latency for screen-to-screen transitions (vs single-tap actions)
  • Combine with skills/​user-journey-tracking for friction detection on key interactions
