Image processing toolkit awareness. Use when: user uploads images for manipulation, requests format conversion, batch processing, compositing, resizing, optimization, analysis, effects, metadata inspection, montages, animated GIFs, color correction, or any image-related task. Also use when working with screenshots, photos, diagrams, icons, or visual assets. Triggers on 'resize', 'crop', 'convert', 'compress', 'optimize', 'thumbnail', 'watermark', 'montage', 'collage', 'gif', 'sprite sheet'…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Image Processing Tools

This container has a rich image processing toolkit. Before writing any image code, scan this inventory to pick the best tool for the job — don't default to Pillow for everything.

## Tool Selection by Task

### Format Conversion & Batch Operations
**ImageMagick `convert`** is the default choice. Handles 260+ formats, single command, no code needed.
```
convert input.png output.webp
convert input.png -quality 85 output.jpg
mogrify -format webp *.png          # batch in-place
```
For animated formats (GIF↔WebP↔APNG, video↔frames), prefer **ffmpeg**.

### Resize, Crop, Thumbnails
**ImageMagick** for CLI one-liners. **Pillow** when already in Python pipeline.
```
convert input.jpg -resize 800x600 output.jpg          # fit within box
convert input.jpg -resize 800x600^ -gravity center -extent 800x600 output.jpg  # fill+crop
convert input.jpg -thumbnail 200x200^ -gravity center -extent 200x200 thumb.jpg
```
IM supports 30+ resize filters: `-filter Lanczos` (sharp downscale), `-filter Mitchell` (balanced), `-filter Point` (nearest-neighbor/pixel art).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/processing-images@sha256:8d87b2d9013e738a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
