Image

**Judgement:** This is a strong, general-purpose image-processing guidance skill that excels at format selection, destination-specific workflows, and avoiding common quality/performance pitfalls. It is well-suited as the default image advisor for agents that must handle diverse visual assets. **Where it works best:** - Web and app images where LCP/CLS, responsive delivery, and format choice matter. - Social, ecommerce, and branding assets that must meet strict platform specs. - Photography/print exports that require careful color management and master preservation. - Screenshot and UI image workflows where legibility and privacy (redaction, metadata) are important. **Key strengths & advantages:** - Enforces a **destination-first** mindset (web/social/ecommerce/print/accessibility) instead of one-size-fits-all outputs. - Provides **clear format guidance** (AVIF/WebP/JPEG/PNG/SVG/TIFF) based on asset type, transparency, and platform behavior. - Emphasizes **color profiles, metadata, and EXIF orientation**, reducing subtle but common delivery bugs. - Includes **practical file-size budgets** and LCP/CLS-aware recommendations for web delivery. - Highlights **accessibility** (alt text, text-in-images, charts) and **privacy** (GPS, secrets in screenshots). **Risks / limitations:** - Quality depends on the agent actually loading the appropriate sub-guides (`web.md`, `social.md`, etc.); misuse may lead to generic rather than optimal decisions. - Does not itself perform image transformation; it advises *how* to transform using external tools or commands, so integration with actual processing tools must be handled elsewhere. - Some platform-specific behaviors (e.g., newly changed social or marketplace specs) may evolve faster than the guidance, so periodic validation against current documentation is needed. **Recommended scenarios:** - Use as the **primary decision layer** whenever an agent must choose image formats, dimensions, crops, or compression settings. - Combine with an execution skill (e.g., ImageMagick/Pillow/CLI tooling) when users need **concrete commands and automated batch processing**. - Apply in any workflow where maintaining **visual quality, performance, and compliance (accessibility, privacy, licensing)** is more important than quick, ad-hoc exports.
