Blur Image

Detect and blur sensitive regions in screenshots using AI vision + ImageMagick.

Announce: "I'm using the blur-image skill to identify and blur sensitive regions."

Use when: Blur, redact, anonymize, hide text in screenshots, prepare images for sharing, remove PII from images.

Skip when: Crop, resize, format conversion, color adjustments, or non-privacy image editing.

Common mistake: Output goes to <name>-blurred.webp by default, not overwriting the original. If the user expects in-place editing, they need to say so.

How It Works

The skill combines two tools: AI vision finds sensitive text (the part humans miss), and ImageMagick blurs it (the part AI can't do with pixels). The workflow is: check prerequisites → scan the image → ask the user what to blur → calibrate coordinates with a grid overlay → run ImageMagick → verify the output by re-reading it → fix any misses.
