Commands
Resize Images
python scripts/main.py resize ./images/ --width 1200
python scripts/main.py resize ./images/ --format instagram # 1080x1080
python scripts/main.py resize ./images/ --format linkedin # 1200x627
Compress Images
python scripts/main.py compress ./images/ --quality 80
python scripts/main.py compress ./images/ --max-size 500 # Max 500KB
Remove Background
python scripts/main.py remove-bg photo.jpg
python scripts/main.py remove-bg ./products/ --output ./transparent/
Add Watermark
python scripts/main.py watermark ./images/ --logo logo.png --position bottom-right
python scripts/main.py watermark ./images/ --text "© 2024 Company" --opacity 0.3
Convert Format
python scripts/main.py convert ./images/ --format webp
python scripts/main.py convert ./images/ --format avif --quality 80
Examples
Example 1: Prepare Product Images for E-commerce
# Remove backgrounds
python scripts/main.py remove-bg ./raw-products/ --output ./transparent/
# Resize to standard size
python scripts/main.py resize ./transparent/ --width 1000 --height 1000 --fit contain
# Compress for web
python scripts/main.py compress ./transparent/ --quality 85 --format webp
# Output: ./transparent/*.webp (optimized, transparent background)
Example 2: Social Media Image Kit
# Create multiple sizes from one source
python scripts/main.py resize hero-image.jpg --format instagram --output hero_ig.jpg
python scripts/main.py resize hero-image.jpg --format linkedin --output hero_li.jpg
python scripts/main.py resize hero-image.jpg --format twitter --output hero_tw.jpg
python scripts/main.py resize hero-image.jpg --format facebook --output hero_fb.jpg
# Or batch process entire folder for one platform
python scripts/main.py resize ./campaign-images/ --format instagram --output ./instagram/
Example 3: Website Image Optimization
# Convert all images to WebP
python scripts/main.py convert ./website-images/ --format webp --quality 80
# Ensure no image exceeds 200KB
python scripts/main.py compress ./website-images/ --max-size 200
# Results in 60-80% smaller file sizes

llamaguard
OtherLlamaGuard is Meta's 7-8B parameter model for moderating LLM inputs and outputs across six safety categories like violence and hate speech. It offers 94-95% accuracy and can be deployed using vLLM, Hugging Face, or Amazon SageMaker. Use this skill to easily integrate content filtering and safety guardrails into your AI applications.
cost-optimization
OtherThis Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
quantizing-models-bitsandbytes
OtherThis skill quantizes LLMs to 8-bit or 4-bit precision using bitsandbytes, achieving 50-75% memory reduction with minimal accuracy loss. It's ideal for running larger models on limited GPU memory or accelerating inference, supporting formats like INT8, NF4, and FP4. The skill integrates with HuggingFace Transformers and enables QLoRA training and 8-bit optimizers.
dispatching-parallel-agents
OtherThis Claude Skill dispatches multiple agents to investigate and fix 3+ independent problems concurrently. It is designed for scenarios involving unrelated failures that can be resolved without shared state or dependencies. The core capability is parallel problem-solving, assigning one agent per independent problem domain to maximize efficiency.
