AI-assisted dataset annotation with COCO export — bbox, SAM2, DINOv3 methods

What it does

Dataset Annotation is an agent skill from SharpAI/DeepCamera. AI-assisted dataset annotation with COCO export — bbox, SAM2, DINOv3 methods

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/annotate.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Open-Source AI Camera Skills Platform, AI NVR & CCTV Surveillance. Local VLM video analysis with Qwen, DeepSeek, SmolVLM, LLaVA, YOLO26. LLM-powered agentic security camera agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/dataset-annotation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 933dcc7. 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Dataset Annotation loads about 705 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 82 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~705

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.

Dataset Annotation

AI-assisted dataset creation for training custom detection models. Supports three annotation methods with COCO format export.

What You Get

  • BBox annotation — draw bounding boxes, AI auto-suggests
  • SAM2 annotation — click to segment, get pixel-perfect masks
  • DINOv3 annotation — click a patch, find similar objects across frames via visual grounding
  • Object tracking — annotate keyframes, DINOv3 interpolates across the video
  • COCO export — standard images[], annotations[], categories[] format
  • Kaggle/HuggingFace upload — push datasets directly to platforms

Annotation Loop

1. Feed frames from clips → auto-detect objects
2. Human reviews → corrects bboxes, adds labels
3. Save as COCO dataset
4. Train improved model
5. Repeat with better auto-detection

Can I use Dataset Annotation 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 SharpAI/DeepCamera --skill dataset-annotation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dataset-annotation, .gemini/skills/dataset-annotation, .github/skills/dataset-annotation and .opencode/skills/dataset-annotation in your project.

What does Dataset Annotation need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dataset Annotation needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3 and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Dataset Annotation access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Dataset Annotation safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Dataset Annotation use?

Dataset Annotation is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Dataset Annotation use?
