Add the image handler in the meta-dispatch architecture. Given an image URL it resolves a label and inserts it into the newsletter Bonus -> Images. For Substack-hosted images, decode the S3 image UUID and find the source post across configured publications (ByteByteGo by default): RSS feed first, then a sitemap crawl up to ~3 months back. Label priority is figure caption, then post title, then a user-typed name. Non-Substack images are best-effort then ask. Publications are configurable and the skill offers to add a new one when the user identifies it. Wire mt-add-url to dispatch the image route to mt-add-image (previously a fallback). Update the project skills list.

| mt-add-image | Image handler for the Hugo blog newsletter. Adds an image URL to today's newsletter Bonus → Images with a detected label. For Substack-hosted images it finds the source post (ByteByteGo and other configured publications) via RSS then sitemap, using the figure caption or post title as the label; for other sites it is best-effort; if no label is found it asks you to type one. Normally invoked by the mt-add-url meta skill after classification, but can be used directly for a known image URL. |
Overview
mt-add-image is the image handler: given an image URL, it resolves a human-readable label and inserts  into today's newsletter Bonus → Images. It does not classify/route — that is mt-add-url's job.
Shared scripts: .claude/skills/mt-add-url/scripts/. Shared procedure: ../mt-add-url/references/newsletter-post-mechanics.md — follow it for post find/create, Bonus insertion, and language rules.
Label priority: figure caption → source post title → your typed input.
Input
A clean image URL (passed by mt-add-url, or given directly).
Workflow
1. Detect source
node .claude/skills/mt-add-image/scripts/detect-image-source.js "<url>"
→ { isSubstack, uuid?, innerUrl? }. Skip the URL if it's a duplicate/inaccessible (the meta skill already checks; if invoked directly, sanity-check first).
2a. Substack image (isSubstack: true with uuid)
Find the source post:
node .claude/skills/mt-add-image/scripts/find-substack-post.js --uuid <uuid>
found: true→ label =captionif non-empty, elsepostTitle.found: false→ retry with the deeper sitemap crawl (slower — scans ~3 months, warn the user it may take ~15s):node .claude/skills/mt-add-image/scripts/find-substack-post.js --uuid <uuid> --deepfound: true→ label as above.found: false→ no automatic label; go to step 3 (ask). The result reportsscanned+cutoff— mention how far back it looked.
2b. Non-Substack image (isSubstack: false)
Best-effort only (no reverse-image-search): if you happen to know the page that contains the image, WebFetch it and read the OpenGraph title / nearby caption. Usually there's no containing page from just an image URL → go to step 3.
3. Ask for a label (fallback)
If no label was detected, use AskUserQuestion:
- "Couldn't detect a name for this image (
<clean_url>). What label should I use?" (free-text).
4. Add-publication offer (Substack miss only)
If a Substack image wasn't found and the user tells you which publication it's from, offer to append that host to .claude/skills/mt-add-image/config/substack-publications.json, then retry step 2a. This grows coverage for next time.
5. Insert into Bonus → Images
Follow ../mt-add-url/references/newsletter-post-mechanics.md to find/create today's post, then add under Images:
**Images:**

Create ### Bonus / **Images:** if missing.
6. Report
✅ Image added to Newsletter #[number] (Bonus → Images)
📄 content/post/YYYY/MM/DD/index.md
🏷️ label: "[label]" (source: rss | sitemap | opengraph | user-input)
🖼️ [clean_image_url]
Checklist
- Source detected (substack + uuid, or non-substack)
- Label resolved by priority (caption → post title → your input)
- Entry under Bonus → Images (section/subsection created if missing)
- Label localized to Vietnamese where natural (keep proper nouns)
