Frequently asked questions

Does this skill automatically optimize all images on a website?

No. The skill provides audit reports and optimization commands for specific files or directories. Users must execute the provided commands to perform conversions or metadata injections.

How does the skill handle AI-generated images?

It supports injecting the IPTC DigitalSourceType metadata required by Google Merchant Center, allowing users to label images as trainedAlgorithmicMedia, compositeSynthetic, or digitalCapture.

What happens if required tools like exiftool are missing?

The skill falls back to ImageMagick or FFmpeg for metadata and conversion tasks and recommends installing the missing packages.

Does the skill improve image rankings directly?

Alt text and filenames are ranking factors, but IPTC metadata is for display and brand attribution only. The skill helps optimize these factors to improve visibility.
