image-forge SKILL.md skillA

image-forge from tdimino/claude-code-minoan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/image-forge@git:20260509.4a39ffa

Pins git:20260509.4a39ffa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Edit images with precision using ImageMagick 7, sips, transparent-background, and Pillow — with intelligent routing to AI semantic editing (Gemini/nano-banana-pro) for content-aware operations. Covers cropping, resizing, compositing, annotating, format conversion, color adjustment, background removal, batch processing, and montage creation. Triggers on image editing, crop, resize, composite, annotate, remove background, format conversion.

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 Forge

Pixel-precise image editing with three-tier routing: deterministic CLI tools for exact operations, AI models for semantic edits, vision models for analysis.

## Routing Decision

**Use AI when the edit requires understanding what is in the image. Use ImageMagick when the edit requires knowing exactly what to do to the pixels.**

### Tier 1: Deterministic (magick, sips, transparent-background)

Use for operations with exact, numeric parameters:

| Task | Tool | Command |
|------|------|---------|
| Resize to exact dimensions | magick | `magick in.jpg -resize 800x600! out.jpg` |
| Resize fit (preserve aspect) | magick | `magick in.jpg -resize 800x600 out.jpg` |
| Resize fill + crop | magick | `magick in.jpg -resize 800x600^ -gravity center -extent 800x600 out.jpg` |
| Resize shrink only | magick | `magick in.jpg -resize '800x600>' out.jpg` |
| Crop at offset | magick | `magick in.jpg -crop 600x400+100+50 +repage out.jpg` |
| Center crop | magick | `magick in.jpg -gravity center -crop 600x400+0+0 +repage out.jpg` |
| Auto-trim whitespace | magick | `magick in.jpg -fuzz 10% -trim +repage out.jpg` |
| Format convert | magick | `magick in.png -quality 85 out.jpg` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/image-forge@sha256:97d14da2d1c9588c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260509.4a39ffa, 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.
