What it does
Reading Visual References is an agent skill from lukapiskorec/craftbot. Use when the reference material for an experiment is photographs, drawings, or floor plans rather than (or alongside) a dimensioned manual, and dimensions or topology must be read off images.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: CraftBot is an architect AI agent. It interprets design briefs, grounds its thinking in domain knowledge through ingesting documents, images and other references, and outputs…
When your agent uses it
- The reference material for an experiment is photographs
- Floor plans rather than (or alongside) a dimensioned manual
- Topology must be read off images
Example prompts
- “/reading-visual-references”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Topology and counts from the images (bay count, truss type, brace positions).
- Absolute dimensions from the building program (a two-car carport gives a 6 m span).
- Member sections from named standard practice, chosen as a consistent family, not one at a time ("standard Scandinavian/N-American…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c9715b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Reading Visual References loads about 994 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 586 words (~994 tokens).
“Images answer different questions than documents do, and different images answer different questions than each other. The recurring failure is asking an image for something it cannot say (a plan for pane counts, a photo for absolute dimensions) and building…”

Reading Visual References is an agent skill from lukapiskorec/craftbot. Use when the reference material for an experiment is photographs, drawings, or floor plans rather than (or alongside) a dimensioned manual, and dimensions or topology must be read off images.
When should I use Reading Visual References?
Reading Visual References fits situations like: the reference material for an experiment is photographs; floor plans rather than (or alongside) a dimensioned manual; topology must be read off images.
How do I install Reading Visual References in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add lukapiskorec/craftbot --skill reading-visual-references -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/reading-visual-references in lukapiskorec/craftbot) into .claude/skills/reading-visual-references in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Reading Visual References in Codex?
Run `npx skills add lukapiskorec/craftbot --skill reading-visual-references -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/reading-visual-references in lukapiskorec/craftbot) into .agents/skills/reading-visual-references in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Reading Visual References in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add lukapiskorec/craftbot --skill reading-visual-references -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/reading-visual-references, .gemini/skills/reading-visual-references, .github/skills/reading-visual-references and .opencode/skills/reading-visual-references in your project.
What does Reading Visual References need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Reading Visual References is instructions for the agent only.
Does Reading Visual References access the network?
