image-edit

image-edit is a skill for Claude Code from peterkrueck/Claude-Code-Development-Kit. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An image-editing workflow for changing a picture's size, shape, orientation, or framing. It uses pixel measurements to locate the real visible content before editing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to crop, resize, trim, mirror, rotate, reframe, or create square, portrait, headshot, and icon versions of images.
Why use it?
It avoids inaccurate crops caused by transparent padding, borders, or empty space around an image.

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-edit 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/analyze_bounds.py, scripts/crop_image.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Edit — Crop, Resize & Transform

Precision image manipulation using Python/Pillow. This skill exists because macOS sips has unreliable crop offset behavior and visual inspection alone leads to bad coordinates — images often have hundreds of pixels of invisible padding that throws off naive crops.

Setup

The scripts need Pillow and numpy. Create a temp venv on first use:

python3 -m venv /tmp/imgcrop && /tmp/imgcrop/bin/pip install Pillow numpy -q

This only needs to happen once per session. The venv at /tmp/imgcrop persists until reboot.

The Golden Rule: Measure Before You Cut

Never guess crop coordinates from visual inspection. Images routinely have large invisible regions — transparent padding, solid-color borders, or dead space — that make visual estimates wildly wrong.

Always run the analysis script first to get exact pixel coordinates of where the actual content lives.

Workflow

Step 1 — Visual inspection

Use the Read tool to look at the image. Understand what's in it and what the user wants to focus on.

Step 2 — Analyze content bounds

Run the bundled analysis script to find where content actually lives:

/tmp/imgcrop/bin/python3 .claude/skills/image-edit/scripts/analyze_bounds.py <image_path>

This outputs JSON with:

  • content_bounds — exact pixel coordinates of non-background content
  • padding — how much dead space exists on each side
  • suggested_square_crops — pre-calculated crop regions at different zoom levels:
    • tight_head (35%) — face/head closeup
    • upper_body (55%) — head through chest/arms
    • three_quarter (75%) — head through waist
    • full (100%) — entire subject

Use --threshold to adjust sensitivity (default 30).

Step 3 — Calculate crop coordinates

Use the analysis output to compute exact crop coordinates:

  • Headroom: Add 40-70px above the content top
  • Centering: Center horizontally on the content's center-x, not the image's center
  • Aspect ratio: For square crops, use max(width, height) as the side length
  • Clamping: Ensure the crop region doesn't extend beyond image dimensions

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.

image-edit is a skill published in the GitHub repository peterkrueck/Claude-Code-Development-Kit (1,388 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 1,140 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
