Contributing to watermarks-remover

Thanks for helping keep the skill accurate and the cleaners reliable. The project is a small Python skill (skills/remove-ai-marks/) plus tests — focused PRs land fastest.

Who can do what

Action Who
Open issues Anyone
Suggest a release Anyone (use the Release suggestion issue template)
Open pull requests Anyone (fork the repo)
Approve and merge pull requests Maintainer only (@guillaumemeyer)

main is protected. A change needs a pull request, a passing CI check (test), and an approving review from the code owner before merge. Only the maintainer can give that approval. Direct pushes to main are blocked for non-admins.

To suggest a release without a code change: open a Release suggestion issue.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ (stdlib only for the skill scripts; optional rewrite backends use HTTP to local Ollama / OpenAI-compatible endpoints)
  • From the repo root: python3 -m pytest -q should pass before you open a PR
  • Optional for manual file checks: c2patool, exiftool (PDF)

Layout

Path Role
skills/remove-ai-marks/SKILL.md Agent skill entry (workflow, ethics)
skills/remove-ai-marks/scripts/ Layer A/B hooks + image/container cleaners
skills/remove-ai-marks/references/ Vendors, mark classes, matrix, ethics
tests/ Pytest suite and fixtures
.github/workflows/ci.yml CI job test

Layers (what to change where)

  1. Layer A (Unicode / format controls) — deterministic scripts under scripts/ (text_unicode.py, clean_text.py, inspect_text.py). Prefer tests with fixtures in tests/fixtures/.
  2. Layer B (statistical rewrite) — guidance in SKILL.md plus optional rewrite_text.py (print-prompt default; ollama / openai-compatible). No bundled model. Keep ethics-aware.
  3. Files (C2PA / EXIF / XMP / props)image_meta.py (PNG/JPEG), container_meta.py (SVG/PDF/DOCX/ODT/HTML/MD), unified inspect_file.py / clean_file.py. Preserve document body / pixels; strip provenance metadata only.

Checklist for a change

  • Behaviour matches SKILL.md / references/removal-matrix.md when relevant
  • Unit tests updated or added under tests/
  • python3 -m pytest -q passes
  • Docs updated (README and/or skill references) if user-facing behaviour changes
  • No drive-by refactors unrelated to the fix or feature

PR expectations

  • Stay focused and match existing style (stdlib-first scripts, clear CLI flags)
  • Do not commit secrets, private user files, or large binary fixtures unless needed and redacted
  • Respect references/ethics.md: this tool is for content the user owns

Questions? Open an issue describing the input type (text / image / document) and which layer failed or is missing.
