Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
# Check project-level first
test -f .tuzi-skills/tuzi-compress-image/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.tuzi-skills/tuzi-compress-image/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

--quality | -q | Quality 0-100 | 80 |
--keep | -k | Keep original | false |
--recursive | -r | Process subdirs | false |
--json | JSON output | false |
Examples
# Single file → WebP (replaces original)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png
# Keep PNG format
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png -f png --keep
# Directory recursive
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts ./images/ -r -q 75
# JSON output
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts image.png --json
