Image Review & Analysis

Visual analysis and quality review of images. No external provider or CLI tool required — just read the image file directly.

When To Use This Skill

• Analyzing what an image contains (subjects, scene, context)
• Extracting technical design details from mockups or diagrams
• Evaluating style, color palette, mood, and lighting
• Reviewing layout composition and visual hierarchy
• Running quality gates before delivery (brand, a11y, production, sensitivity)

Multi-Dimensional Analysis Framework

Four analysis lenses, each with a dedicated reference:

Lens	Purpose	Reference
General	Subject, scene, context summary	refs/analysis-lenses.md
Technical	Components, hierarchy, interactivity	refs/analysis-lenses.md
Style	Palette, mood, lighting, texture	refs/analysis-lenses.md
Layout	Focal points, composition, visual weight	refs/analysis-lenses.md

Quick Analysis

For most tasks, start with General analysis. Add Technical for UI mockups, Style for creative assets, or Layout for marketing materials.

1. Read the image file
2. Apply the relevant analysis lens(es)
3. Produce a structured report

Quality Gates

Four review gates ensure assets are "Business Ready" before delivery:

Gate	Purpose	Reference
Brand Compliance	Logo, palette, typography, tone alignment	refs/quality-gates.md
Accessibility	Contrast ratios, color-blind safety, readability	refs/quality-gates.md
Production Readiness	Artifacts, resolution, format, cleanliness	refs/quality-gates.md
Sensitivity	Cultural appropriateness, inclusivity, bias	refs/quality-gates.md

Gate Selection

Not every asset needs all four gates. Use this guide:

• Internal draft: Production Readiness only
• External marketing: All four gates
• UI component: Brand + Accessibility + Production
• Social media: Brand + Sensitivity + Production

Workflow: Analyze, Assess, Report

Step 1: ANALYZE — Read the image, apply relevant lenses
Step 2: ASSESS  — Run applicable quality gates
Step 3: REPORT  — Structured findings with pass/fail per gate

Integration With Other Sub-Skills

• After create or alter generates an image, use review to validate
• Review findings feed back into the Analyze-Execute-Review-Refine loop
• Quality gate failures should include actionable fix suggestions for the next iteration
