A structured process for reviewing a website's use of photographs, choosing suitable free images, adding them, checking both light and dark themes, and recording credits.

In plain words

Use it when a website needs carefully chosen photography for places such as project cards, about sections, article covers, or subtle backgrounds.
Why use it?
It prevents adding decorative or mismatched photos and keeps the site's imagery consistent and properly credited.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

photo-pass 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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Photo Pass: add photography only where it earns its place

Run an art-direction photo pass on this project's website. Work end to end: audit, select, integrate, verify. Be conservative: the goal is warmth and depth, not decoration. All sourcing runs through the getpix script (see Tooling at the end).

1. Audit first (decide WHERE)

  • Survey every page and section. Shortlist only spots where a photo genuinely adds meaning: portfolio/product cards, story or about sections, blog covers, and at most one ultra-subtle background texture (e.g. closing CTA bands).
  • Target 3-6 placements total. When in doubt, leave it imageless.
  • Write the placement list with a one-line rationale per spot BEFORE touching code.

2. One art direction (decide WHICH)

  • Derive palette, mood, and light/dark behavior from the site's design tokens and styles first.
  • Define a single visual language for ALL picks (e.g. warm natural light, organic subjects, muted tones). Every image must belong to the same family.
  • Judge candidates by viewing the actual images (thumbnails), never metadata alone.
  • Hard NOs: corporate stock clichés (handshakes, suits, whiteboards), "AI brain / circuit" art, oversaturated or palette-fighting shots, anything ethically questionable.

3. Sourcing rules

  • Reputable free libraries only: Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay. License must allow commercial use without required attribution; still record photographer + source link for every image in a CREDITS.md in the repo.
  • Source width >= 2000px. Deliver optimized WebP sized to the slot (cards ~800px, content ~1200-1400px, full-bleed ~1600-1920px). Never upscale. Keep total added weight under ~1MB.
  • If assets ship behind long-lived/immutable caching, every new or changed image gets a NEW filename.

4. Integration rules

  • Photos must sit INSIDE the design, not on top of it: melt them into the background or card surface with gradient overlays/masks built ONLY from the site's existing color tokens, plus slight desaturation, so light and dark themes both stay correct automatically.
  • Zero layout shift: explicit width/height on every img. loading="lazy" below the fold; eager + fetchpriority="high" above it; decoding="async". Meaningful alt text in the site's content language.
  • RTL-safe if applicable: logical properties only (inset-inline-*, margin-inline), never left/right.
  • No new dependencies. Match the codebase's existing conventions and lint rules.

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.
