image-processing
Image processing and optimization. Sharp (Node.js), Pillow (Python), Cloudinary, responsive images, WebP/AVIF conversion, thumbnails, and CDN-based image transformation. USE WHEN: user mentions "image resize", "thumbnail", "image optimization", "Sharp", "Pillow", "Cloudinary", "WebP", "AVIF", "image upload processing" DO NOT USE FOR: file upload handling - use `file-upload`; cloud storage - use `cloud-storage`; PDF generation - use `pdf-generation`
What this skill does
# Image Processing
## Sharp (Node.js — recommended)
```typescript
import sharp from 'sharp';
// Resize and convert
async function processUpload(input: Buffer, filename: string) {
const variants = await Promise.all([
sharp(input).resize(1200, 1200, { fit: 'inside', withoutEnlargement: true })
.webp({ quality: 80 }).toBuffer(),
sharp(input).resize(400, 400, { fit: 'cover' })
.webp({ quality: 75 }).toBuffer(),
sharp(input).resize(100, 100, { fit: 'cover' })
.webp({ quality: 70 }).toBuffer(),
]);
return {
original: { buffer: variants[0], key: `images/${filename}.webp` },
medium: { buffer: variants[1], key: `images/${filename}-400.webp` },
thumb: { buffer: variants[2], key: `images/${filename}-100.webp` },
};
}
```
### Express Upload Pipeline
```typescript
import multer from 'multer';
const upload = multer({ limits: { fileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024 } }); // 10MB
app.post('/api/images', upload.single('image'), async (req, res) => {
// Validate image type
const metadata = await sharp(req.file!.buffer).metadata();
if (!['jpeg', 'png', 'webp'].includes(metadata.format!)) {
return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid image format' });
}
const variants = await processUpload(req.file!.buffer, uuid());
// Upload to S3
await Promise.all(Object.values(variants).map((v) =>
s3.putObject({ Bucket: BUCKET, Key: v.key, Body: v.buffer, ContentType: 'image/webp' })
));
res.json({ url: `${CDN_URL}/${variants.original.key}` });
});
```
## Cloudinary (managed service)
```typescript
import { v2 as cloudinary } from 'cloudinary';
cloudinary.config({
cloud_name: process.env.CLOUDINARY_CLOUD,
api_key: process.env.CLOUDINARY_KEY,
api_secret: process.env.CLOUDINARY_SECRET,
});
// Upload with auto-optimization
const result = await cloudinary.uploader.upload(filePath, {
folder: 'products',
transformation: [
{ width: 1200, height: 1200, crop: 'limit' },
{ quality: 'auto', fetch_format: 'auto' },
],
});
// URL-based transformations
const thumbUrl = cloudinary.url(result.public_id, {
width: 200, height: 200, crop: 'fill', gravity: 'face',
quality: 'auto', format: 'webp',
});
```
## Python (Pillow)
```python
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
def process_image(data: bytes, max_size: int = 1200) -> bytes:
img = Image.open(BytesIO(data))
img.thumbnail((max_size, max_size), Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
if img.mode in ('RGBA', 'P'):
img = img.convert('RGB')
output = BytesIO()
img.save(output, format='WEBP', quality=80)
return output.getvalue()
```
## Responsive Images (HTML)
```html
<picture>
<source srcset="/images/hero-400.webp 400w, /images/hero-800.webp 800w, /images/hero-1200.webp 1200w"
sizes="(max-width: 600px) 400px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px"
type="image/webp" />
<img src="/images/hero-800.jpg" alt="Hero image" loading="lazy" decoding="async" />
</picture>
```
## Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Fix |
|--------------|-----|
| Processing in request handler | Process in background job queue |
| Storing only original size | Generate multiple sizes on upload |
| No format conversion | Convert to WebP/AVIF for smaller size |
| No file size validation | Validate before processing |
| Serving images from app server | Use CDN or cloud storage |
## Production Checklist
- [ ] Image processing in background queue
- [ ] Multiple sizes generated (thumb, medium, full)
- [ ] WebP/AVIF conversion for modern browsers
- [ ] CDN for serving images
- [ ] File type and size validation
- [ ] Metadata stripping for privacy

IncludedMulti-platform paid advertising audit and optimization skill. Analyzes Google, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, and Apple Ads. 250+ checks with scoring, parallel agents, industry templates, and AI creative generation.
banana
IncludedAI image generation Creative Director powered by Google Gemini Nano Banana models. Use this skill for ANY request involving image creation, editing, visual asset production, or creative direction. Triggers on: generate an image, create a photo, edit this picture, design a logo, make a banner, visual for my anything, and all /banana commands. Handles text-to-image, image editing, multi-turn creative sessions, batch workflows, and brand presets.
rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
