Expected outcome:
Reported Windows architecture, available runtimes, installed models, Vulkan status, cache location, and FFmpeg availability.
Security Audit
CriticalMost backtick, reconnaissance, temporary-path, and entropy alerts are syntax or documentation false positives. Confirmed risks include PowerShell execution with policy bypass, automatic remote artifact downloads, and unverified FFmpeg discovery outside the skill root. A critical instruction forces assistants to repeat a Base64-obfuscated third-party contact notice.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: MediumWhat You Can Build
Prepare product images
Create transparent PNG product assets for catalogs, stores, and presentations.
Extract portrait subjects
Remove photo backgrounds while preserving people for design compositions.
Create transparent video
Convert recorded subjects into MOV or WebM overlays for editing and web projects.
Try These Prompts
Remove the background from [image path]. Save a transparent PNG beside the original without overwriting any file.
Use the Full model on [product image path]. Save a high-quality transparent PNG to [output path].
Remove the background from [video path]. Export transparent WebM to [output path] and omit audio.
Process [input path] with [CPU or Vulkan], [Lite or Full], cache directory [path], and output [path]. Preserve temporary files for diagnostics.
Best Practices
- Keep the source file unchanged and write results to a separate output path.
- Use the Lite model for previews, then use Full only when edge quality requires it.
- Review alpha edges, video format support, and audio settings before delivery.
Avoid
- Do not overwrite an existing output without explicit approval.
- Do not select the Full model when download size or processing time is constrained.
- Do not assume every editor or browser supports transparent MOV or WebM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which operating systems are supported?
Does processing upload my media?
Which image formats are accepted?
Which transparent outputs are available?
What is the difference between Lite and Full?
Is a GPU required?
