Etool Image

Merge images side by side or vertically, pad to square, cut into a 3x3 grid, batch-convert folders to WebP, generate and decode QR codes, and render command cheat-sheet wallpapers via the etool CLI. Use when the user wants to combine, crop, pad, or batch-rename images, work with QR codes, or generate a cheat-sheet PNG.

File contents

Images, QR codes and cheat sheets with etool

Requires the etool CLI: pip install etool (verify with etool --json version).

Always pass --json: stdout is exactly one envelope, either {"ok": true, "data": {...}} or {"ok": false, "error": {"code", "message", "details"}}. If error.code is "DEPENDENCY_ERROR", run the pip command from error.details.install and retry once.

Image operations

Merge two images (output path returned in data.path; --out optional):

etool --json image merge-lr left.png right.png --out merged.png
etool --json image merge-ud top.png bottom.png --out merged.png

Pad to a square canvas, or cut into nine 3×3 tiles (tile paths in data.paths):

etool --json image fill-square photo.jpg --out square.jpg
etool --json image cut-grid photo.jpg

Batch-convert a folder to WebP with EXIF-date-based names (add --remove-original to delete sources):

etool --json image rename-webp ./photos

QR codes

Generate a QR PNG; decode needs the qr-decode extra (pip install "etool[qr-decode]"):

etool --json qrcode generate --text "https://example.com" --out qr.png
etool --json qrcode decode qr.png

Cheat-sheet wallpaper

Render a command cheat-sheet PNG from a JSON data file with shape {"categories": [{"name": str, "commands": [{"command": str, "description": str}]}]}:

etool --json cheatsheet generate --data git.json --out cheatsheet.png --title "Git Cheat Sheet"

Or let an LLM produce the data for a keyword (needs LLM credentials, see the etool-llm skill):

etool --json cheatsheet generate --keyword docker --out docker.png

Useful options: --width/--height (default 1920×1080), --font PATH (TTF/TTC), --left-margin-ratio 0.25 (space kept clear for desktop icons; 0 disables).
