What it does

Motioneyes Visual Analysis is an agent skill from edwardsanchez/MotionEyes. Pixel-based motion and UI change analysis from frame sequences or screenshots using computer vision and visual comparison. Use when .transition or visual effects are not observable via MotionEyes logs, when you only have screenshots/video, when you need regression diffs across builds, or when you need to summarize on-screen changes without instrumentation. Do not use when MotionEyes traces are available and you need precise timing/values; use motioneyes-animation-debug instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/grid-overlay-notes.md` and `references/motion-analysis-techniques.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Computer vision.

When your agent uses it

  • Visual effects are not observable via MotionEyes logs
  • You only have screenshots/video
  • You need regression diffs across builds
  • You need to summarize on-screen changes without instrumentation

Example prompts

  • “/motioneyes-visual-analysis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Capture or gather frames for the target animation.
  2. Normalize frames (same size, consistent crop).
  3. Run baseline analysis with --trim to generate frames, diffs, and keyframes.
  4. Interpret motion using grid artifacts first (grid/ + sprite/, plus diff_grid/ when needed) for coordinate-indexed reading across frames.
  5. If grid overlays obscure subtle visual details, fall back to non-grid artifacts (frames/ + diff/) for verification.
  6. Escalate from keyframe pairs to neighboring pairs and then --all-pairs only when confidence is low or anomalies are suspected.
  7. Select key frames (start/mid/end + top delta frames) for summary.
  8. Write analysis.json and summary.md.
  9. If validating the skill itself, optionally generate an HTML report with --report.
  10. Use --trim-threshold and --trim-relative tuning if the animation is subtle.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e9d525. 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 3 files 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Motioneyes Visual Analysis loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 820 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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 820 words (~1,982 tokens).

“Analyze UI motion by comparing frames directly. This skill produces annotated images plus a JSON summary of motion signals (translation, scale, rotation, opacity, color) and changed regions. It complements MotionEyes traces when instrumentation is unavailable or insufficient.”
