Image Crop Responsive QA

Use this skill to catch the crop, focal point, and layout bugs that make premium pages feel careless.

Workflow

1. Inspect the project, media assets, framework image/video APIs, responsive breakpoints, accessibility requirements, and verification commands.
2. Read Image Crop Responsive QA Guide for detailed direction before changing visuals or code.
3. Define the media's job: proof, desire, navigation, instruction, atmosphere, conversion, or accessibility.
4. Implement with stable dimensions, responsive crops, useful fallbacks, and real content hierarchy.
5. Inspect rendered desktop and mobile states, then refine crop, contrast, loading, labels, captions, and polish.

Always Protect

• Inspect before coding: framework, image/video components, asset folders, CMS or source content, styling system, responsive breakpoints, performance checks, accessibility checks, and available browser QA commands.
• Treat images and video as content strategy, not decoration: every asset should reveal the real product, person, venue, object, interface, proof, or mood needed by the page.
• Avoid generic stock-like visuals, dark blurred filler, random gradients, and media that crops away the subject users need to inspect.
• Plan desktop, mobile, high-density, slow-network, reduced-motion, no-autoplay, failed-asset, and screen-reader states.
• Reserve layout space with dimensions, aspect-ratio, CSS constraints, or framework image components to avoid layout shift.
• Use meaningful alt text for informative images, empty alt for decorative images, captions/transcripts/tracks for media that needs them, and visible text for critical information.
• Before delivery, inspect rendered desktop and mobile media crops, verify assets load without 404s, and run available lint/build/test/browser checks.
