Compress images without quality loss
SkillMediaimage-compression is a skill for AI agents that reviews image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to compress images without quality loss. It checks encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together, so an agent can evaluate the whole picture rather than one file at a time.

Have an AI agent that supports loading skills.
What your AI can do with it
- Review image assets for compression opportunities without quality loss
- Inspect markup related to image delivery
- Check CDN and build transforms affecting images
- Measure encoded size and rendered size of images
- Evaluate loading strategy for image assets
- Assess above-the-fold impact of image choices
Getting started
- Have an AI agent that supports loading skills.
- Add the image-compression skill to the agent's available skills.
- Ask the agent to review your image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms.
- Review the agent's findings on encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/image-compression/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Uncompressed images are often 5-10x larger than needed—proper compression dramatically reduces page weight and load times with minimal visual impact.
Quick Reference
- Compress JPEG to 70-85% quality (often visually identical)
- Use lossy compression for photos, lossless for graphics
- Automate compression in build process
- Can reduce file sizes by 60-80% without visible quality loss
Check
Analyze if images are properly compressed without significant quality loss.
Fix
Compress images using tools like ImageOptim, TinyPNG, or automated build processes.
Explain
Explain how proper compression can reduce image sizes by 60-80% with minimal quality impact.
Code Review
Review image assets, markup, and delivery configuration related to Compress images without quality loss. Flag exact files or components where format choice, sizing, or loading behavior violates the rule, and describe how to confirm the fix in DevTools.
