Image Compressor

Cross-platform image compression with WebP default output, PNG-to-PNG support, preferring system tools with Sharp fallback.

Script Directory

Important: All scripts are located in the scripts/ subdirectory of this skill.

Agent Execution Instructions:

  1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as SKILL_DIR
  2. Script path = ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/<script-name>.ts
  3. Replace all ${SKILL_DIR} in this document with the actual path

Script Reference:

Script Purpose
scripts/main.ts CLI entry point for image compression

Quick Start

bash
# Compress to WebP (default)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png

# Keep original format (PNG → PNG)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png --format png

# Custom quality
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png -q 75

# Process directory
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r

Commands

Single File Compression

bash
# Basic (converts to WebP, replaces original)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png

# Custom output path
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png -o compressed.webp

# Keep original file
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png --keep

# Custom quality (0-100, default: 80)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png -q 75

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

Directory Processing

bash
# Process all images in directory
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/

# Recursive processing
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r

# With custom quality
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r -q 75

Output Formats

bash
# Plain text (default)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png

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

Options

Option Short Description Default
<input> Input file or directory Required
--output <path> -o Output path Same path, new extension
--format <fmt> -f webp, png, jpeg webp
--quality <n> -q Quality 0-100 80
--keep -k Keep original file false
--recursive -r Process directories recursively false
--json JSON output false
--help -h Show help

Compressor Selection

Priority order (auto-detected):

  1. sips (macOS built-in, WebP support since macOS 11)
  2. cwebp (Google's official WebP tool)
  3. ImageMagick (convert command)
  4. Sharp (npm package, auto-installed by Bun)

The skill automatically selects the best available compressor.

Output Format

Text Mode (default)

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

JSON Mode

json
{
  "input": "image.png",
  "output": "image.webp",
  "inputSize": 250880,
  "outputSize": 91136,
  "ratio": 0.36,
  "compressor": "sips"
}

Directory JSON Mode

json
{
  "files": [...],
  "summary": {
    "totalFiles": 10,
    "totalInputSize": 2508800,
    "totalOutputSize": 911360,
    "ratio": 0.36,
    "compressor": "sips"
  }
}

Examples

Compress single image

bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts photo.png
# photo.png → photo.webp (1.2MB → 340KB, 72% reduction)

Compress with custom quality

bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts photo.png -q 60
# photo.png → photo.webp (1.2MB → 280KB, 77% reduction)

Keep original format

bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts screenshot.png -f png --keep
# screenshot.png → screenshot-compressed.png (500KB → 380KB, 24% reduction)

Process entire directory

bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./screenshots/ -r
# Processed 15 files: 12.5MB → 4.2MB (66% reduction)

Get JSON for scripting

bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png --json | jq '.ratio'

Extension Support

Custom configurations via EXTEND.md.

Check paths (priority order):

  1. .baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md (project)
  2. ~/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md (user)

If found, load before workflow. Extension content overrides defaults.
