File contents

Dinky — local image CLI (agents)

Use this when automating image compression for users who build from the open-source Dinky repo on macOS.

Facts

Not a hosted API. There is no HTTP endpoint on dinkyfiles.com for compression.
After building, users run the dinky binary from DinkyCoreImage/ (SwiftPM) or use dinky serve on localhost.
JSON schema for both dinky compress --json and POST /v1/compress: dinky.image.compress/1.0.0 (field schema in the root object). Health: dinky.image.serve/1.0.0 on GET /v1/health.
Encoders must exist locally: DINKY_BIN, ./bin next to dinky, or Homebrew cwebp+avifenc+oxipng in PATH locations the tool checks.
Full flag list, exit codes, and security model: in-repo docs/local-cli.md.

When unsure
