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 today.

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.

SEO On-Page: Image Optimization

Guides image optimization for Google Search (text results, Image Pack, Google Images, Discover), Core Web Vitals (LCP), and accessibility. Consolidates image-related best practices from components (hero, trust-badges) and pages (landing-page). References: Google Image SEO, Semrush Image SEO.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • Discovery & indexing: HTML img elements, image sitemap
  • Format & performance: WebP, responsive images, lazy loading, LCP; full CWV optimization in core-web-vitals
  • Metadata: Alt text, file names, captions
  • Preferred image: primaryImageOfPage, og:image; thumbnail next to title/description in search results
  • Structured data: ImageObject, image in Article/Product/etc.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for brand and page context.

Identify:

  1. Context: Hero, content page, product, trust badge, social preview
  2. Above vs below fold: LCP candidate (hero) vs lazy-loadable
  3. Image count: Single hero vs gallery, programmatic pages

1. Discovery & Indexing

Use HTML Image Elements

Google finds images in the src attribute of <img> (including inside <picture>). CSS background images are not indexed.

Do Don't
<img src="puppy.jpg" alt="Golden retriever puppy" /> <div style="background-image:url(puppy.jpg)">

Image Sitemap

Submit an image sitemap to help Google discover images it might otherwise miss. Image sitemaps can include URLs from CDNs (other domains); verify CDN domain in Search Console for crawl error reporting.

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.
