resize-images

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.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by AlpacaLabsLLC on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Resize Images AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects/tree/main/skills/resize-images
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects.git /tmp/skills-for-architects
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills-for-architects/skills/resize-images .claude/skills/resize-images

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Resize Images in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Resize Images on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Resize Images is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

/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.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Resize Images AI skill do?

Why use Resize Images on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Resize Images is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Resize Images in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects/tree/main/skills/resize-images. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Resize Images?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Resize Images?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Resize Images with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Resize Images AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by AlpacaLabsLLC under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
