seo-images

seo-images is a skill for Claude Code from kabde/seo-skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (3,026 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of seo-images, MIT.

A website image review and optimization tool that checks accessibility and loading-related image details. It covers alternative text, file size, image formats, responsive behavior, lazy loading, and layout-shift prevention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing image alt text, checking size and format targets, reviewing responsive and lazy-loading setup, preventing layout shifts, and recommending WebP or AVIF conversion.
Why use it?
It helps avoid images that are inaccessible, unnecessarily large, slow to load, or likely to make a page jump while loading. It also identifies opportunities to use more suitable formats and metadata.

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

seo-images scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- `exiftool` -- EXIF/IPTC/XMP read/write (install: `sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl`)

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to seo-images — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Image Optimization Analysis

Checks

Alt Text

  • Present on all <img> elements (except decorative: role="presentation")
  • Descriptive: describes the image content, not "image.jpg" or "photo"
  • Includes relevant keywords where natural, not keyword-stuffed
  • Length: 10-125 characters

Good examples:

  • "Professional plumber repairing kitchen sink faucet"
  • "Red 2024 Toyota Camry sedan front view"
  • "Team meeting in modern office conference room"

Bad examples:

  • "image.jpg" (filename, not description)
  • "plumber plumbing plumber services" (keyword stuffing)
  • "Click here" (not descriptive)

File Size

Tiered thresholds by image category:

Image Category Target Warning Critical
Thumbnails < 50KB > 100KB > 200KB
Content images < 100KB > 200KB > 500KB
Hero/banner images < 200KB > 300KB > 700KB

Recommend compression to target thresholds where possible without quality loss.

Format

Format Browser Support Use Case
WebP 97%+ Default recommendation
AVIF 92%+ Best compression, newer
JPEG 100% Fallback for photos
PNG 100% Graphics with transparency
SVG 100% Icons, logos, illustrations

Recommend WebP/AVIF over JPEG/PNG. Check for <picture> element with format fallbacks.

Recommended <picture> Element Pattern

Use progressive enhancement with the most efficient format first:

<picture>
  <source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
  <source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp">
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="Descriptive alt text" width="800" height="600" loading="lazy" decoding="async">
</picture>

The browser will use the first supported format. Current browser support: AVIF 93.8%, WebP 95.3%.

JPEG XL: Emerging Format

In November 2025, Google's Chromium team reversed its 2022 decision and announced it will restore JPEG XL support in Chrome using a Rust-based decoder. The implementation is feature-complete but not yet in Chrome stable. JPEG XL offers lossless JPEG recompression (~20% savings with zero quality loss) and competitive lossy compression. Not yet practical for web deployment, but worth monitoring for future adoption.

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.
