Webflow Mcp:asset Audit Agent Skill

Asset Audit

Analyze assets on a Webflow site for SEO optimization.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Webflow MCP tools for all operations:

• Use Webflow MCP's data_assets_tool for fetching and updating assets
• Use Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview (with the asset's asset_id) for analyzing image content
• Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action list_sites for listing available sites
• Use Webflow MCP's webflow_guide_tool to get best practices before starting
• DO NOT use any other tools or methods for Webflow operations
• All tool calls must include the required context parameter (15-25 words, third-person perspective)

Instructions

Phase 1: Site Selection & Asset Discovery

• Get site: Identify the target site. If user does not provide site ID, ask for it.
• Fetch all assets: Use Webflow MCP's data_assets_tool to get all assets from the site (each asset record includes its asset_id, needed for previews)
• For sites with 50+ assets, process in batches of 20
• Show progress: "Processing assets 1-20 of 150..."
• Detect patterns: Analyze asset naming for common patterns:
• Camera uploads (IMG_, DSC_, etc.)
• Screenshots (screenshot, Screen Shot, etc.)
• Generic names (untitled, image-1, etc.)
• Date-based names (2024-01-10, etc.)

Phase 2: Issue Analysis & Pattern Recognition

• Identify issues: List all assets which:
• Do not have alt text set (null or empty string)
• Have existing alt text but it's poor quality (too short, redundant phrases, etc.)
• Do not have SEO-friendly asset names
• Are duplicates or very similar
• Pattern detection report: Show detected patterns:

   🔍 Detected patterns:
   - 15 assets start with "IMG_" (camera uploads)
   - 8 assets contain "screenshot"
   - Suggest: Bulk rename these patterns

• Ask user preference: Ask if they want to generate:
• Alt text only
• SEO-friendly names only
• Both
• Apply naming pattern/template

Phase 3: Analysis & Suggestion Generation

• Analyze assets: Use Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview tool, passing each asset's asset_id (from Phase 1), to analyze the assets that need updates
• Error handling: If Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview fails, use fallback:
• Extract description from existing filename
• Use generic placeholder with warning
• Continue with other assets
• Process in batches to avoid timeout
• Generate suggestions with validation:
• Alt text validation:
• Max 125 characters (warn if longer)
• No redundant phrases ("image of", "picture of", "photo of")
• Must end with punctuation
• Flag generic descriptions (confidence < 50%)
• SEO name validation:
• Only lowercase a-z, 0-9, hyphens
• No double extensions (.webp.webp) - strip existing extension first
• Max 100 characters
• Replace spaces/underscores with hyphens
• No special characters
• Folder organization suggestions: If patterns detected, suggest folder structure:

   💡 Organization suggestions:
   - Create "team-photos" folder for 8 team images
   - Create "product-images" folder for 15 product shots

Phase 4: Granular Approval & Application

10. Present suggestions with granular approval:

• Show numbered list with checkboxes
• Allow individual toggle: "Enter numbers to skip (e.g., '2,4')"
• Options: "all", "none", or specific numbers
• Show validation warnings for each suggestion

11. Offer naming template (if many similar assets):

    🎨 Apply naming pattern?
    1. [category]-[description] (e.g., team-john-headshot)
    2. [description]-[location] (e.g., office-workspace-desk)
    3. Custom pattern...
    4. Skip patterns, use individual names

12. Store rollback data: Before applying changes, store:

• Original asset names
• Original alt text
• Timestamp
• Assets modified

13. Apply updates: Use Webflow MCP's data_assets_tool to update approved assets only

• Show progress for batch updates
• Handle partial failures gracefully
• Report successes and failures separately

14. Offer rollback option: After changes applied:

    📋 Rollback Available:
    Last update: 4 assets modified 2 minutes ago
    Type "undo" to revert these changes

Guidelines

Phase 1: Critical Validations (Must Follow)

File Extension Handling:

• ALWAYS strip existing extension before adding new one
• Bad: image.webp → new-name.webp.webp
• Good: image.webp → new-name.webp
• Implementation: Use filename without extension + new extension

Alt Text Quality Rules:

• Max length: 125 characters (accessibility best practice)
• Must end with punctuation (period, exclamation, question mark)
• Remove redundant phrases:
• ❌ "Image of a person" → ✅ "Person working at desk"
• ❌ "Picture of logo" → ✅ "Company logo on blue background"
• ❌ "Photo showing" → ✅ Direct description
• Flag if too short (< 10 chars): ⚠️ "Too generic - needs more detail"
• Flag if too long (> 125 chars): ⚠️ "Consider shortening for screen readers"

SEO Filename Rules:

• Only allow: lowercase a-z, numbers 0-9, hyphens
• Max length: 100 characters (before extension)
• Convert spaces to hyphens: team photo → team-photo
• Convert underscores to hyphens: team_photo → team-photo
• Remove special characters: photo!@#$ → photo
• Convert to lowercase: TeamPhoto → team-photo
• Remove consecutive hyphens: team--photo → team-photo
• Trim leading/trailing hyphens: -photo- → photo

Phase 2: Batch Processing & Performance

Large Site Handling:

• Sites with 50+ assets: Process in batches of 20
• Show progress: "Processing batch 1 of 5 (assets 1-20)..."
• Allow user to process specific batches
• Timeout protection: If Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview takes > 30s, skip to next batch

Pattern Detection:

Detect and report these patterns:

• Camera uploads: IMG_, DSC_, DCIM_, P_
• Screenshots: screenshot, Screen Shot, Capture
• Generic names: untitled, image-1, photo, asset
• Date formats: 2024-01-10, 20240110, 01-10-2024
• Suggest bulk rename when 3+ assets match a pattern

Error Handling:

• If Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview fails:
• Log the error (don't show to user)
• Use fallback: Extract description from filename
• Mark with ⚠️ warning: "Generated from filename (image preview failed)"
• Continue with other assets
• Partial success handling:
• Report successes separately from failures
• Show: "✅ 15 updated, ❌ 2 failed, ⏭️ 3 skipped"
• Offer to retry failed assets

Phase 3: Advanced Features

Granular Approval System:

• Number each suggestion: [1], [2], [3], etc.
• Show checkmark status: ✓ or ✗
• Accept multiple formats:
• "all" - approve all
• "none" - cancel operation
• "1,3,5" - skip items 1, 3, and 5
• "2-5" - skip items 2 through 5
• Always show validation status per item

Naming Templates:

Offer templates when 5+ similar assets detected:

• [category]-[description]-[modifier]
• Example: product-laptop-front-view.jpg
• [description]-[location]-[year]
• Example: team-photo-office-2024.jpg
• [type]-[name]-[variant]
• Example: icon-arrow-blue.svg

Folder Organization:

Suggest folders when detecting:

• 5+ images with "team", "staff", "employee" → team-photos folder
• 5+ images with "product", "item" → product-images folder
• 5+ images with "logo", "brand" → branding folder
• 5+ images with "screenshot", "capture" → screenshots folder

Rollback System:

Before any update, store in memory:

{
  "timestamp": "2026-01-10T00:45:00Z",
  "assets": [
    {
      "id": "asset-id",
      "originalName": "1.webp",
      "originalAltText": "",
      "newName": "podcast-host.webp",
      "newAltText": "Podcast host recording..."
    }
  ]
}

• Offer undo for 5 minutes after changes
• Clear rollback data after next audit starts
• Show rollback option in final summary

Duplicate Detection:

• Compare asset sizes (exact match = likely duplicate)
• Compare filenames (similar names = potential duplicate)
• Report: "⚠️ Potential duplicates: asset1.jpg (2.4MB) and asset1-copy.jpg (2.4MB)"
• Don't auto-delete - let user decide

General Best Practices

• Always use Webflow MCP's get_asset_preview (with asset_id, not a URL) to understand image content
• Generate specific, descriptive suggestions (not generic)
• Validate all suggestions before presenting to user
• Handle partial operations gracefully
• Provide clear progress indicators for long operations
• Group similar issues together in reports
• Use visual indicators: ✅ ⚠️ ❌ 🔍 💡 📋 🎉
• Be conversational but concise
• Always offer rollback after changes
