## What it does

This skill directs the agent to construct precise `searchQuery` filters for ImageKit DAM through `search_media_library`. Instead of pulling massive asset pages and filtering them in client code, the agent generates Lucene expressions directly from plain descriptions like brand names, regions, ratings, or SKUs.

Before assembling clauses, the agent discovers the actual schema. The schema check prevents broken queries. It runs `list_custom_metadata_fields` to map user terms against custom field names and select options, then calls `list_client_tags` for labels. The agent falls back to `name HAS` only when metadata and tag lookups yield nothing.

Passing `searchQuery` causes the tool's separate `type` parameter to be ignored. Results default to files. Folders require an explicit `type = "folder"` clause inside the query string.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill search-assets -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/search-assets/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill search-assets -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill search-assets -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install imagekit-developer/skills search-assets
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill search-assets -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/imagekit-developer/skills --path skills/search-assets
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --skill search-assets -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/imagekit-developer/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/search-assets/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build ImageKit DAM searchQuery filters from natural language
- discover custom metadata fields and tags before querying
- filter assets by dimensions, video duration, format, or date
- locate DAM folders when the type parameter is ignored

## Example prompts
- Find all approved banners for the EMEA summer campaign in ImageKit from last week
- Write a search_media_library query for mp4 videos longer than one minute
- Locate the folder named logos inside /products using Lucene searchQuery

# `search_media_library` `searchQuery`

Call `search_media_library` on DAM with a tight filter. Do not fetch a broad page and filter in code.

## Discover fields before you guess

Accounts define arbitrary custom-metadata fields. The user will type normal words ("Nike", "summer campaign", "EMEA", "approved") that may be a **field name**, a **select option**, a **tag**, or only a **filename**. Never invent `"customMetadata.<name>"`.

For every descriptive word you might put on `name` or `tags`:

1. Call `list_custom_metadata_fields` once. Match the word against each field's `name`, `label`, and `schema.selectOptions` (case-insensitive). Use the field's `name` (not `label`) as `"customMetadata.<name>"`.
2. Call `list_client_tags` with that word as `label`. If tags come back, filter with `tags IN [...]` using the returned tag `name`s verbatim.
3. Only if neither call matches may you fall back to `name HAS "…"`. Literal filenames, extensions, and explicitly "named/called/titled X" go on `name` without this check.

A no-match is cheap: omit that custom-metadata clause rather than guessing a field. Skip filler words ("files", "show me", "assets").

Select types: `SingleSelect` → `=` / `IN`; `MultiSelect` → `IN` / `NOT IN`. Prefer a returned `selectOptions` value over the user's raw spelling. Text → `=` `:` `HAS`; Number/Date → `<` `<=` `>` `>=`; Boolean → `=` with unquoted `true`/`false`.

## Inputs

| Input | Use for |
|-------|---------|
| `searchQuery` | Lucene filter (below). |
| `path` | Folder scope, e.g. `/products`. |
| `type` | `file` / `file-version` / `folder` / `all`. Honored only when `searchQuery` is omitted. |
| `fileType` | `image` / `non-image` / `all`. |
| `sort` | `ASC_`/`DESC_` + `CREATED` (default `ASC_CREATED`), `UPDATED`, `NAME`, `SIZE`, `WIDTH`, `HEIGHT`, `DURATION`, `RELEVANCE`, `ORIGINAL_CREATION_DATE`. Pair `HAS` with `DESC_RELEVANCE`. `*_ORIGINAL_CREATION_DATE` orders by the reserved `_internal_original_created_datetime` field; files without a value fall back to upload time. |
| `limit` / `skip` | Page size (max 1000) and offset. Default page is 20. |

Put a simple folder scope in `path` and file vs non-image in `fileType`. Whenever `searchQuery` is set, put type in `searchQuery` (`type = "folder"`, or `(name HAS "logo") AND type = "folder"`). The `type` argument is ignored in that case and results default to files.

## Syntax

- **Operators:** `=` `:` `<` `<=` `>` `>=` `IN` `NOT IN` `NOT =` `HAS` `EXISTS` `NOT EXISTS`
- **Combine:** `AND`, `OR`. **Group:** `( ... )`
