# Sharp High-Speed Image Processing & WebP/AVIF Conversion

Processes images with Sharp: resizing with aspect ratio preservation (fit: 'cover', 'inside'), converting JPEG/PNG to modern WebP and AVIF formats, extracting metadata, generating blur placeholders, and streaming pipelines.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- resize image with sharp
- convert to webp sharp
- generate blur placeholder sharp

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Process image: await sharp(inputBuffer).resize(800, 600, { fit: 'cover' }).webp({ quality: 80 }).toFile('output.webp').
2. Stream processing: createReadStream.pipe(sharp().resize(400)).pipe(createWriteStream).
3. Extract metadata: const metadata = await sharp(imageBuffer).metadata();.
4. Ensure memory release by allowing Node garbage collection to clear large buffer objects.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
