About this skill
Social Media Image Sizes
Check and resize images for 9 platforms / 60+ specs. Scripts mirror the logic at branding5.com/tools/social-media-cheat-sheet.
Setup
Run once after install:
cd <skill-dir>
npm install
Check an image
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg
Outputs a ranked match list — perfect → close → usable → too small — with an inline node scripts/resize.js command for every non-perfect match.
Filter by platform or match level:
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --platform instagram
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --filter perfect
node scripts/check.js photo.jpg --filter usable
Platform slugs: instagram facebook twitter linkedin tiktok youtube pinterest snapchat threads
Resize an image
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "Instagram Portrait Post"
# → photo-instagram-portrait-post.jpg (1080×1350 px)
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "YouTube Custom Thumbnail"
# → photo-youtube-custom-thumbnail.jpg (1280×720 px)
Default fit is cover (center-crop). Use --fit contain to letterbox instead:
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "LinkedIn Background Photo" --fit contain --bg f0f0f0
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg "Instagram Portrait Post" --out ./exports/ig.jpg
List every available spec name:
node scripts/resize.js photo.jpg --list
Workflow
- Run
check.jsto see what a given image already matches - Copy the suggested
resize.jscommand from the output - Run it — the output file is saved alongside the original by default
Gotchas
- Sharp requires a native binary. On first
npm install, it downloads a prebuilt binary for your platform. If install fails behind a proxy, setSHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1and retry. - All slides in an Instagram carousel must share the same aspect ratio. The first image sets the ratio for the whole carousel — check all slides, not just the first.
- Facebook cover photo has two safe zones. Desktop shows 820×312; mobile crops to 640×360. Keep key content in the center 640×312.
- YouTube banner safe area is much smaller than the file. The spec is 2560×1440 but only the center 1546×423 is guaranteed visible on all devices. check.js flags the full size; keep critical content in the safe area.
--fit covercenter-crops. If the subject isn't centered, use--outto save, then manually crop, or use an image editor before running resize.

pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
