Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Documentation and UI proof assets are created continuously during Build; this skill is shelved there as the default screenshot polish step. Docs subphase is where blurry captures and compressed PNGs hurt READMEs and help centers first.
Where it fits
Run enhancement on feature screenshots before merging a docs PR or publishing API guides.
Upscale hero images and thread attachments the day you announce on X or Product Hunt.
Refresh compressed images in older blog posts before an SEO or newsletter push.
How it compares
Local image-quality pass for screenshots—not an AI image generator or Figma layout skill.
