Asset Inspector
Stop receiving 50x50 logos and watermarked stock photos
Clients send tiny JPEGs of their logo cropped from Facebook, watermarked Google Images screenshots, and photos from 2009 flip phones. This recipe checks every asset the client sends, flags what's unusable, and generates a specific re-request telling them exactly what you need.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Asset Inspector". When I receive client assets (images, logos, photos), inspect each file and assess: resolution (flag anything under the required dimensions for its intended use), file format (flag raster logos that should be vector, CMYK images), watermark detection, blur and compression artifact detection, and color space. Let me define per-project asset requirements (e.g., "hero image: min 1920x1080, logo: SVG or PNG at 1024x1024+"). For each issue found, generate a specific, client-friendly re-request email explaining what's needed, in what format, at what minimum resolution, and — where helpful — where the client can likely find the original file (e.g., "Ask your previous designer for the .ai or .eps source file"). Output an asset status report showing pass/fail per file.
How It Works
When client assets arrive (via email, shared folder, or direct upload),
your Claw inspects each file: resolution, format, color space, whether
it has a watermark, and whether it's appropriate for its intended use
(logo for header, hero photo, product image, etc.).
What You Get
- Resolution check: flags anything below required dimensions for its use
- Format check: catches raster logos that should be vector, CMYK images meant for web
- Watermark detection: flags stock photo watermarks
- Quality assessment: blur detection, compression artifact detection
- A specific re-request email listing exactly what's needed, in what format, at what resolution
- Suggestions: "Your logo appears to be a JPEG — do you have the original AI, EPS, or SVG file?"
Setup Steps
- Optionally define the asset requirements for your project (hero image: min 1920x1080, logo: SVG preferred)
- Send or upload client assets to your Claw
- Your Claw inspects each asset and generates a report
- Review the report and send the re-request email to the client
Tips
- Set up asset requirements at project start so your Claw knows what each image is for
- The re-request email is client-friendly — it explains why you need a higher resolution without being condescending
- Catches the classic "logo.jpg at 72x72 pixels" before you waste time trying to use it
- Also useful for auditing assets on an existing site you're redesigning
