See and understand images when you (the current model) have no native vision.

  • References a local image file

  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3 and pip; needs VISION_API_KEY
  • An image URL and you cannot view it yourself

What it does

Vision is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. See and understand images when you (the current model) have no native vision. Use this WHENEVER you need to look at, read, describe, OCR, or reason about the contents of an image, screenshot, photo, diagram, chart, UI mockup, or scanned page — including when the user references a local image file or an image URL and you cannot view it yourself. Also triggers on: 看图 / 识图 / 截图 / 图片内容 / OCR 文字识别 / 这张图是什么. Delegates the actual seeing to a configurable OpenAI-compatible vision model via a small script.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/see.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Computer vision and UI design. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • References a local image file
  • An image URL and you cannot view it yourself
  • : 看图 / 识图 / 截图 / 图片内容 / OCR 文字识别 / 这张图是什么

Example prompts

  • “/vision”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in VISION_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • VISION_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vision loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 398 words (~1,097 tokens).

“You do not have native vision, but you can still "see" an image by running the bundled script, which sends the image to a configurable OpenAI-compatible vision model and returns a text answer.”
