Compresses images using best available tool (sips → cwebp → ImageMagick → Sharp).
Scripts in scripts/ subdirectory. {baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory path. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun. Replace {baseDir} and ${BUN_X} with actual values.
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| scripts/main.ts | Image compression CLI |
Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins:
| Priority | Path | Scope |
|----------|------|-------|
| 1 | .baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md | Project |
| 2 | ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md | XDG |
| 3 | $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-compress-image/EXTEND.md | User home |
If none found, use defaults.
EXTEND.md supports: Default format, default quality, keep-original preference.

# Single file → WebP (replaces original)
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts image.png
# Keep PNG format
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts image.png -f png --keep
# Directory recursive
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r -q 75
# JSON output
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts image.png --json
Output:
image.png → image.webp (245KB → 89KB, 64% reduction)

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
