ImageMagick Skill
Comprehensive image processing using ImageMagick via the imagemagick subcommand
of agentbox-mcp — a single Rust rmcp binary (services/agentbox-mcp) that
also serves the web-summary and gemini-url-context skills. It replaces the
former Python FastMCP server one-for-one: same tool names, parameters, and JSON
response shapes.
When to Use This Skill
- Convert between image formats (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG, PDF)
- Resize images for web optimisation or thumbnails
- Crop images to specific regions
- Apply filters and effects (blur, sharpen, colorize)
- Batch process multiple images
- Create image montages and composites
- Extract image metadata
- Add watermarks and overlays
When Not To Use
- For AI-generated images from text prompts -- use the comfyui skill instead
- For video or audio processing (transcode, cut, merge) -- use the ffmpeg-processing skill instead
- For 3D modelling and rendering -- use the blender skill instead
- For diagrams, flowcharts, or data visualisations -- use the mermaid-diagrams or report-builder skills instead
- For browser screenshots of web pages -- use the playwright or browser skills instead
