Compresses and converts images across platforms using the best available system tools or automated fallbacks.
This skill provides a high-performance solution for image optimization directly within Claude Code. It intelligently detects and leverages available system utilities such as sips, cwebp, or ImageMagick, falling back to the Sharp library when necessary to ensure consistent results across macOS, Linux, and Windows. By default, it converts images to WebP for superior web performance, but it also supports maintaining original formats and provides granular control over quality and recursive directory processing. It is an essential tool for developers and designers who need to automate asset optimization without leaving their terminal environment.
