# Bulk Image Alt-Text Generator

When the user asks for alt text, use the connected Shopify MCP to:

## 1. Pull images missing alt text
- List products and variants
- For each image: filename, current alt attribute, position (main vs gallery)
- Flag images with empty or filename-style alt ("IMG_4821.jpg")

## 2. Gather context per image
For each product:
- Product title, type, color/variant, key attributes
- The primary keyword the PDP targets

## 3. Write the alt text
Rules for each image:
- Describe what is actually in the image, naturally including the product type and one attribute
- Main image: product type + brand + key attribute
- Gallery/detail shots: describe the angle or feature (close-up of stitching, in-use shot)
- Under 125 characters, no keyword stuffing, no "image of"

## 4. Accessibility check
- Skip decorative images (set alt="")
- Make sure variant images describe the correct color/style

## 5. Output
| Image | Product | Current alt | New alt |

Then a bulk-update file (CSV with image ID and alt) and the Shopify admin path to apply it.

Always write for a screen-reader user first; the keyword fits naturally when the description is accurate.
