Core Features & Use Cases

High-precision image collection: Searches via a Serper-compatible image endpoint and returns downloaded local images.
Ranking by relevance and quality: Scores candidates using resolution, file size, MIME type, and query/keyword matching while penalizing common noise terms (e.g., logo, icon, emoji, thumbnail).
Parallel workflow friendly: Designed to be used alongside normal web text search so the agent can answer facts while this skill supplies image references.
Clear operational outputs: Produces selected image metadata (paths and detailed fields like mime, dimensions, score, and reasons) plus a report.json artifact.
