Asset Audit

Analyze assets on a Webflow site for SEO optimization.

Important Note

ALWAYS use Webflow MCP tools for all operations:

•Use Webflow MCP's asset_tool for fetching and updating assets
•Use Webflow MCP's get_image_preview for analyzing image content
•Use Webflow MCP's data_sites_tool with action list_sites for listing available sites
•Use Webflow MCP's webflow_guide_tool to get best practices before starting
•DO NOT use any other tools or methods for Webflow operations
•All tool calls must include the required context parameter (15-25 words, third-person perspective)

Instructions

Phase 1: Site Selection & Asset Discovery

•Get site: Identify the target site. If user does not provide site ID, ask for it.
•
Fetch all assets: Use Webflow MCP's asset_tool to get all assets from the site
- •For sites with 50+ assets, process in batches of 20
- •Show progress: "Processing assets 1-20 of 150..."
•
Detect patterns: Analyze asset naming for common patterns:
- •Camera uploads (IMG_, DSC_, etc.)
- •Screenshots (screenshot, Screen Shot, etc.)
- •Generic names (untitled, image-1, etc.)
- •Date-based names (2024-01-10, etc.)

Phase 2: Issue Analysis & Pattern Recognition

•
Identify issues: List all assets which:
- •Do not have alt text set (null or empty string)
- •Have existing alt text but it's poor quality (too short, redundant phrases, etc.)
- •Do not have SEO-friendly asset names
- •Are duplicates or very similar

•Pattern detection report: Show detected patterns:

code

🔍 Detected patterns:
- 15 assets start with "IMG_" (camera uploads)
- 8 assets contain "screenshot"
- Suggest: Bulk rename these patterns

•
Ask user preference: Ask if they want to generate:
- •Alt text only
- •SEO-friendly names only
- •Both
- •Apply naming pattern/template

Phase 3: Analysis & Suggestion Generation

•
Analyze assets: Use Webflow MCP's get_image_preview tool to analyze the assets that need updates
- •
  Error handling: If Webflow MCP's get_image_preview fails, use fallback:
  - •Extract description from existing filename
  - •Use generic placeholder with warning
  - •Continue with other assets
- •Process in batches to avoid timeout
•
Generate suggestions with validation:
- •
  Alt text validation:
  - •Max 125 characters (warn if longer)
  - •No redundant phrases ("image of", "picture of", "photo of")
  - •Must end with punctuation
  - •Flag generic descriptions (confidence < 50%)
- •
  SEO name validation:
  - •Only lowercase a-z, 0-9, hyphens
  - •No double extensions (.webp.webp) - strip existing extension first
  - •Max 100 characters
  - •Replace spaces/underscores with hyphens
  - •No special characters

•Folder organization suggestions: If patterns detected, suggest folder structure:

code

💡 Organization suggestions:
- Create "team-photos" folder for 8 team images
- Create "product-images" folder for 15 product shots

Phase 4: Granular Approval & Application

•
Present suggestions with granular approval:
- •Show numbered list with checkboxes
- •Allow individual toggle: "Enter numbers to skip (e.g., '2,4')"
- •Options: "all", "none", or specific numbers
- •Show validation warnings for each suggestion

•Offer naming template (if many similar assets):

code

🎨 Apply naming pattern?
1. [category]-[description] (e.g., team-john-headshot)
2. [description]-[location] (e.g., office-workspace-desk)
3. Custom pattern...
4. Skip patterns, use individual names

•
Store rollback data: Before applying changes, store:
- •Original asset names
- •Original alt text
- •Timestamp
- •Assets modified
•
Apply updates: Use Webflow MCP's asset_tool to update approved assets only
- •Show progress for batch updates
- •Handle partial failures gracefully
- •Report successes and failures separately

•Offer rollback option: After changes applied:

Guidelines

Phase 1: Critical Validations (Must Follow)

File Extension Handling:

•ALWAYS strip existing extension before adding new one
•Bad: image.webp → new-name.webp.webp
•Good: image.webp → new-name.webp
•Implementation: Use filename without extension + new extension

Alt Text Quality Rules:

•Max length: 125 characters (accessibility best practice)
•Must end with punctuation (period, exclamation, question mark)
•
Remove redundant phrases:
- •❌ "Image of a person" → ✅ "Person working at desk"
- •❌ "Picture of logo" → ✅ "Company logo on blue background"
- •❌ "Photo showing" → ✅ Direct description
•Flag if too short (< 10 chars): ⚠️ "Too generic - needs more detail"
•Flag if too long (> 125 chars): ⚠️ "Consider shortening for screen readers"

SEO Filename Rules:

•Only allow: lowercase a-z, numbers 0-9, hyphens
•Max length: 100 characters (before extension)
•Convert spaces to hyphens: team photo → team-photo
•Convert underscores to hyphens: team_photo → team-photo
•Remove special characters: photo!@#$ → photo
•Convert to lowercase: TeamPhoto → team-photo
•Remove consecutive hyphens: team--photo → team-photo
•Trim leading/trailing hyphens: -photo- → photo

Phase 2: Batch Processing & Performance

Large Site Handling:

•Sites with 50+ assets: Process in batches of 20
•Show progress: "Processing batch 1 of 5 (assets 1-20)..."
•Allow user to process specific batches
•Timeout protection: If Webflow MCP's get_image_preview takes > 30s, skip to next batch

Pattern Detection: Detect and report these patterns:

•Camera uploads: IMG_, DSC_, DCIM_, P_
•Screenshots: screenshot, Screen Shot, Capture
•Generic names: untitled, image-1, photo, asset
•Date formats: 2024-01-10, 20240110, 01-10-2024
•Suggest bulk rename when 3+ assets match a pattern

Error Handling:

•
If Webflow MCP's get_image_preview fails:
1. •Log the error (don't show to user)
2. •Use fallback: Extract description from filename
3. •Mark with ⚠️ warning: "Generated from filename (image preview failed)"
4. •Continue with other assets
•
Partial success handling:
- •Report successes separately from failures
- •Show: "✅ 15 updated, ❌ 2 failed, ⏭️ 3 skipped"
- •Offer to retry failed assets

Phase 3: Advanced Features

Granular Approval System:

•Number each suggestion: [1], [2], [3], etc.
•Show checkmark status: ✓ or ✗
•
Accept multiple formats:
- •"all" - approve all
- •"none" - cancel operation
- •"1,3,5" - skip items 1, 3, and 5
- •"2-5" - skip items 2 through 5
•Always show validation status per item

Naming Templates: Offer templates when 5+ similar assets detected:

•
[category]-[description]-[modifier]
- •Example: product-laptop-front-view.jpg
•
[description]-[location]-[year]
- •Example: team-photo-office-2024.jpg
•
[type]-[name]-[variant]
- •Example: icon-arrow-blue.svg

Folder Organization: Suggest folders when detecting:

•5+ images with "team", "staff", "employee" → team-photos folder
•5+ images with "product", "item" → product-images folder
•5+ images with "logo", "brand" → branding folder
•5+ images with "screenshot", "capture" → screenshots folder

Rollback System: Before any update, store in memory:

json

{
  "timestamp": "2026-01-10T00:45:00Z",
  "assets": [
    {
      "id": "asset-id",
      "originalName": "1.webp",
      "originalAltText": "",
      "newName": "podcast-host.webp",
      "newAltText": "Podcast host recording..."
    }
  ]
}

•Offer undo for 5 minutes after changes
•Clear rollback data after next audit starts
•Show rollback option in final summary

Duplicate Detection:

•Compare asset sizes (exact match = likely duplicate)
•Compare filenames (similar names = potential duplicate)
•Report: "⚠️ Potential duplicates: asset1.jpg (2.4MB) and asset1-copy.jpg (2.4MB)"
•Don't auto-delete - let user decide

General Best Practices

•Always use Webflow MCP's get_image_preview to understand image content
•Generate specific, descriptive suggestions (not generic)
•Validate all suggestions before presenting to user
•Handle partial operations gracefully
•Provide clear progress indicators for long operations
•Group similar issues together in reports
•Use visual indicators: ✅ ⚠️ ❌ 🔍 💡 📋 🎉
•Be conversational but concise
•Always offer rollback after changes
