At a glance

Capture frames or clips from RTSP/ONVIF cameras and local webcams, including USB pan/tilt/zoom control.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Camsnap is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Capture frames or clips from RTSP/ONVIF cameras and local webcams, including USB pan/tilt/zoom control.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/camsnap”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8e594e. 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

Camsnap loads about 456 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~456

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.

camsnap

Use camsnap to grab snapshots, clips, or motion events from configured cameras.

Setup

  • Config file: ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml
  • Add camera: camsnap add --name kitchen --host 192.168.0.10 --user user --pass pass

Common commands

  • Discover: camsnap discover --info
  • Snapshot: camsnap snap kitchen --out shot.jpg
  • Clip: camsnap clip kitchen --dur 5s --out clip.mp4
  • Motion watch: camsnap watch kitchen --threshold 0.2 --action '...'
  • Doctor: camsnap doctor --probe

Local webcams (macOS)

  • List devices: camsnap devices
  • Snapshot from a local camera: camsnap snap --device 0 --out webcam.jpg
  • PTZ position and ranges: camsnap ptz status --device 0
  • Move a gimbal camera: camsnap ptz goto --device 0 --pan 45 --tilt -18
  • Also camsnap ptz move (relative deltas) and camsnap ptz home.

Notes

  • Requires ffmpeg on PATH.
  • Prefer a short test capture before longer clips.
  • PTZ needs macOS Camera permission: these cameras only service UVC controls while streaming, so camsnap holds a capture session open for the operation.
  • Motion commands verify the settled position and exit non-zero if the camera did not reach it. On-camera AI framing can override manual positioning; disable tracking if moves keep missing.
