## About this skill

AI-powered image optimization that downloads images from WordPress, processes locally (compress, WebP conversion, resize, rename), uploads optimized versions, and updates all content references.

**Read-only by default.** Any write operation creates a duplicate first, so the original page stays intact and you have an undo handle. All execution runs through Respira's MCP server with your existing credentials. 

## What it does

4 capabilities run in one pass — each one focused on a single failure mode.

#### Comprehensive Image Audit

Scans media library, posts, pages, featured images, builders, and WooCommerce product images for optimization opportunities.

#### AI-Powered Local Processing

Downloads and processes images locally with ImageMagick, Sharp, or Pillow for compression, conversion, resizing, and renaming.

#### Automated Upload & URL Updates

Uploads optimized files as new media entries and updates references across duplicates of affected pages/posts/builders.

#### Safe & Reversible

Original files remain intact and flagged as deprecated, enabling low-risk rollout and rollback support.

## What you'll likely find

Real issues this skill has surfaced on real WordPress sites.

- Oversized images (5000px originals where 2000px max is enough)
- Inefficient formats (PNG photos, oversized JPGs)
- Missing or weak alt text
- Non-SEO filenames (IMG\_1234.jpg, screenshot.png)
- Missing responsive sizes and srcset gaps
- Suboptimal compression quality settings
- Missing lazy loading or width/height attributes
- Orphaned media not referenced by content

## What you'll need

**Respira for WordPress plugin** installed on the target site, with a valid API key.

**An AI agent** that supports Skills + MCP — Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, or Cursor.

**SKILL.md saved** where your agent looks for skills (see install panel above).
