What it does

Resize Images is an agent skill from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. Batch-resize or convert a folder of images for web, social media, slides, or ARCH-size print output while preserving originals. Use for image resizing, format presets, or photo batches; not for product-image background removal.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `host-contract.json` and `scripts/resize_images.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image editing and Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for architecture, real estate, and workplace strategy. Type /skill-name and go. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Not for product-image background removal
  • Tasks that involve Image editing
  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/resize-images”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, AskUserQuestion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 657bfd5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resize Images loads about 993 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 439 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~993

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

/as:resize-images — Image Resizer for Web, Social, and Print

Before acting, read the host contract and this component's declaration (skill:resize-images). Compose only applicable modes from the shared catalog; declarations do not prove access or permission. Use the actual host’s delivery route.

Select the requested batch

Resize photos and renders into requested copies while preserving originals. Reuse the supplied source folder and selected web, social, slides or print modes. Ask only for materially missing inputs, not information or authorization already supplied. This one-off operation requires no studio/project setup.

Read the complete native resize owner for resize_images.resize: exact input and output membership, all twelve preset labels/dimensions/encoding settings, width-only web behavior, center crop, print rounding/DPI, first-frame/color scope, literal collision checks, failure and retry semantics. Use the actual host's available tools; no installed Arch Studio runner, executable handoff or universal dependency installation is required. The presets are Arch Studio-authored sizes, not current external platform requirements. A different requested dimension/crop needs an actually supported separately selected route.

Inspect, prepare and publish

Scan the authorized folder non-recursively for supported .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .webp files; report the count and stop explicitly on no supported inputs. Inspect actual access, source membership and collision boundaries before processing. Preserve originals, names, unrelated files and source access metadata. Duplicate stems or existing reserved outputs block except a proven exact retry.

Follow the owner's complete-batch preparation and the native mutation sequence. Prepare every successful source's whole derivative group and any requested public report before the first publisher; failed sources contribute no partial derivative group and do not prevent preparing other sources. Durably finish, separately reopen and verify the entire retained original/prepared byte and access set. Publish complete files with no clobber; a direct public file creation followed by writing is insufficient. Reopen and inspect every actual image/report destination and access metadata, then the full protected/source set before completion. Reconcile interrupted or exact repeated work before making new copies.

Inspect and report results

Verify decoded dimensions, format, print 300×300 DPI and actual crop/orientation/color behavior. Inspect the images for material subject clipping; center crop has no subject detection. Web limits width, print fits an unrotated box, and both avoid enlargement. Small inputs still receive every selected labelled output; social/slides enlarge to fill. Non-RGB/L sources convert to RGB with alpha discarded, and animated/multipage sources contribute only their initial frame. Do not promise ICC/EXIF preservation, metadata stripping or automatic orientation correction.

List actual output directories, filenames, dimensions and integer KiB, successful/failed source counts and concrete errors/omissions. Keep the compatible mechanical summary separate from actual completion evidence; partial batch success is not full completion. No record adoption, registration, upload or external delivery is implicit.
