image-optimization

image-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vladolaru/claude-code-plugins. It costs 72 tokens per session (4,050 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An image optimisation workflow for files such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, WebP, and AVIF. It measures compression and quality, creates possible variants, and requires a person to view and approve pixel changes before they are written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recompress, resize, convert, audit, and review images for a repository or web page before applying changes.
Why use it?
It helps reduce image file size while checking measured quality and visible defects such as banding. It also makes clear which results were viewed, measured, or blocked by missing tools.

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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Optimization

Scripts do the mechanics (encoding, measuring, gating, crops, writing); you do the judgment (where an image is used, how big it is shown, which profile); the human gives the verdict on anything that changes pixels.

Rules

These hold over every step below.

  1. The human decides every pixel change. A variant that changes pixels is written only after the human kept that exact variant on the page (apply enforces this; a copy you make does not), and a gate-failing variant becomes a choice only on their word.
  2. View before you vouch. Open every tile sheet marks REQUIRED at its natural size before calling a choice good, and list the tiles you viewed. Viewing is not measuring: a reported-only metric (JPEG, WebP, AVIF banding) is never "passed".
  3. The human installs tools. Quote what doctor lists, with what each tool adds and its install line, and wait.
  4. Every problem line reaches the human. Pass on each per-file line a command prints.

The tool

Every command is python3 "$SKILL_DIR/../../scripts/imgopt.py" <command>, written IMGOPT <command> below. Spell it out in each shell command, or define a function in that same command: imgopt() { python3 "$SKILL_DIR/../../scripts/imgopt.py" "$@"; }. Never run it from a shell variable ($IMGOPT): zsh does not word-split an unquoted variable, so the command is not found. Use plain python3, never python3 -I (Pillow may live in user site-packages). IMGOPT <command> --help lists every flag.

Command Use it to
doctor --job <audit|recompress|prepare|convert|compare> --profile <p> [--format f] [paths] Check tools before any work (prepare = resizing, convert = a new format)
inspect <paths> [--json] Report facts and lossless headroom; changes nothing (the audit job)
workdir <task> A stable working folder for --out
candidates <paths> [--files <list>] --out <dir> --profile <p> [--resize W] [--format f] [--ref file | --ref-rev REV] [--min-saving <bytes>] [--assume-srgb] [--jobs N] Try encoder settings per file, measure, gate, and set each file's default choice
sheet <dir>... 1:1 tiles for you, one review page for the human over every folder named
variants <dir>... --file <f> Every measured variant of one file
choose <dir>... --file <f> (--label L | --milder | --stronger | --default) Set one file's variant
record [<dir>...] --verdicts - Store the verdict block the human pasted (in the folders the block names)
apply <dir>... [--only a,b | --files list] [--dest dir] Write the accepted choices and re-measure them
manifest <dir>... [--accepted] [--json] Each file's chosen variant path, its target and the metadata it removes
compare <ref> <new> Measure any pair (path, git:<rev>:<path>, URL) and get the reviewer check
clean <dir> [--keep-picks] Delete the working folder, or with --keep-picks only its unchosen variants
clean --store [--older-than DAYS] Prune the shared variant store

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-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository vladolaru/claude-code-plugins (8 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 4,050 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-10-13.
