image-optimization

image-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 29 tokens per session (509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of techniques for reducing image file sizes while keeping acceptable visual quality. It covers compression, modern formats, and images that adapt to different screen sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose formats such as JPEG, PNG, WebP, or SVG, compress images, and provide responsive images with fallbacks for older browsers.
Why use it?
Large images make websites load slowly, especially on mobile networks. Smaller files reduce page weight and improve loading speed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

image-optimization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Image Optimization

Table of Contents

Overview

Images typically comprise 50% of page weight. Optimization dramatically improves performance, especially on mobile networks.

When to Use

  • Website optimization
  • Responsive image implementation
  • Performance improvement
  • Mobile experience enhancement
  • Before deployment

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

Format Selection:

JPEG:
  Best for: Photographs, complex images
  Compression: Lossy (quality 70-85)
  Size: ~50-70% reduction
  Tools: ImageMagick, TinyJPEG
  Command: convert image.jpg -quality 75 optimized.jpg

PNG:
  Best for: Icons, screenshots, transparent images
  Compression: Lossless
  Size: 10-30% reduction
  Tools: PNGQuant, OptiPNG
  Command: optipng -o3 image.png

WebP:
  Best for: Modern browsers (90% support)
  Compression: 25-35% better than JPEG/PNG
  Fallback: Use <picture> element
  Tools: cwebp
  Command: cwebp -q 75 image.jpg -o image.webp

SVG:
  Best for: Icons, logos, simple graphics
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Write clean, maintainable code
  • Add appropriate documentation
  • Test thoroughly before deploying

❌ DON'T

  • Skip testing or validation
  • Ignore error handling
  • Hard-code configuration values

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
