Image Layer Alignment Validator

Use this skill to check whether two image layers can be composited as the same scene or subject. The goal is not generic image critique; the goal is to decide whether a base layer and reveal layer are spatially compatible.

Modes

• compare: analyze two local image files and produce visual/report artifacts.
• diagnose: inspect an existing report or screenshots and explain why a reveal/morph looks misaligned.
• advise: convert measured drift into concrete fixes: shift, scale, crop, regenerate, or accept.
• threshold: tune acceptance thresholds for strict product/portrait work versus looser creative reveal effects.

Workflow

1. Confirm there are exactly two intended layers: base and reveal/after.
2. Keep all analysis local by default. Do not upload private images to external services unless the user explicitly requests that.
3. Run scripts/compare_layers.py when local image paths are available:
