Search for images on Unsplash and download them. An agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills.

What it does

Unsplash Image is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Search for images on Unsplash and download them. Optionally add text overlay (title/subtitle) to the image. Use when the user asks to find a stock photo, search for an image, get an Unsplash image, or download a photo with text.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to find a stock photo
  • Search for an image
  • Get an Unsplash image
  • Download a photo with text

Example prompts

  • “/unsplash-image”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(*)
    • Read
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • 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

Unsplash Image loads about 774 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~774

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:15
    - Env file: `~/.agents/tools/.env` (contains `UNSPLASH_CLIENT_ID`)
  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Write

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.

bash
python ~/.agents/tools/unsplash-search.py \
  --query "technology abstract" \
  --output ./cover.png \
  --title "My Blog Post Title" \
  --subtitle "A short description"
List results without downloading
bash
python ~/.agents/tools/unsplash-search.py \
  --query "sunset" \
  --list
Pick the first result instead of random
bash
python ~/.agents/tools/unsplash-search.py \
  --query "mountains" \
  --pick first \
  --output ./mountains.jpg

CLI Options

OptionDescription
--query, -q(Required) Search query string
--output, -o(Required unless --list) Output file path
--orientationFilter: landscape, portrait, or squarish
--colorColor filter (e.g., blue, green, red, black_and_white)
--pickHow to select from results: random (default) or first
--titleTitle text to overlay on the image
--subtitleSubtitle text to overlay (only used with --title)
--listList search results instead of downloading
--countNumber of results to fetch, max 30 (default: 30)

Text Overlay

When --title is provided, the script adds a text overlay to the bottom portion of the image with:

  • Semi-transparent dark background behind the text
  • White title text with shadow
  • Gray subtitle text (if provided)
  • Automatic word wrapping and font sizing

Requires Pillow: pip install Pillow

Dependencies

  • requests (for API calls and image download)
  • Pillow (only needed if using text overlay with --title)

Install if needed:

bash
pip install requests Pillow

Output

The script prints:

  • The download URL
  • Photographer attribution (required by Unsplash)
  • The saved file path
  • Confirmation of text overlay if applied

Notes

  • Unsplash API guidelines require attribution. The script prints photographer info.
  • The script triggers Unsplash's download tracking endpoint as required by their API terms.
  • Images are downloaded at "regular" quality (1080px width). For higher resolution, modify the script to use urls.full or urls.raw.
