baoyu-compress-image

name	baoyu-compress-image
description	Compresses images to WebP (default) or PNG with automatic tool selection. Use when user asks to "compress image", "optimize image", "convert to webp", or reduce image file size.

Image Compressor

Compresses images using best available tool (sips → cwebp → ImageMagick → Sharp).

Script Directory

Scripts in scripts/ subdirectory. Replace ${SKILL_DIR} with this SKILL.md's directory path.

Script	Purpose
scripts/main.ts	Image compression CLI

Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

EXTEND.md Supports: Default format | Default quality | Keep original preference

Usage

npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts <input> [options]

Options

Option	Short	Description	Default
<input>		File or directory	Required
--output	-o	Output path	Same path, new ext
--format	-f	webp, png, jpeg	webp
--quality	-q	Quality 0-100	80
--keep	-k	Keep original	false
--recursive	-r	Process subdirs	false
--keep-metadata		Preserve EXIF/metadata	false (stripped by default)
--clean		Weaken invisible AI watermarks (e.g., SynthID). Lossy, best-effort.	false
--json		JSON output	false

EXIF & Watermark Notes

• Metadata is stripped by default (EXIF, ICC profile, AI-generation tags). Pass --keep-metadata to preserve.
  • cwebp uses -metadata none, ImageMagick uses -strip, Sharp omits withMetadata(), sips falls back to exiftool -all= if installed.
• --clean does an extra pass to perturb invisible watermarks like SynthID: 97% downsample → upsample (lanczos3) + 1° hue rotate + 0.3px blur + re-encode. Best-effort, not guaranteed. Slightly degrades image quality. Visible/overlay watermarks are not affected — use a separate inpainting tool for those.

Examples

# Single file → WebP (replaces original)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png

# Keep PNG format
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png -f png --keep

# Directory recursive
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r -q 75

# JSON output
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png --json

Output:

image.png → image.webp (245KB → 89KB, 64% reduction)
