What it does

Augmentables And Batches is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use when applying imgaug transforms to keypoints, boxes, polygons, line strings, heatmaps, segmentation maps, or mixed batches.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/augmentables-data-formats.md`, `references/batch-workflows.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Applying imgaug transforms to keypoints
  • Segmentation maps

Example prompts

  • “/augmentables-and-batches”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read references/augmentables-data-formats.md to choose object types and data layouts.
  2. Read references/batch-workflows.md when the task uses Batch, UnnormalizedBatch, or background augmentation.
  3. Run scripts/smoke_aligned_augmentables.py for a tiny alignment smoke.
  4. Read references/troubleshooting.md for shape/count mismatches, invalid polygons, dense-map interpolation, or out-of-image coordinate issues.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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.

    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

Augmentables And Batches loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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.

Augmentables and Batches

Use this sub-skill when the task involves applying imgaug transforms to images and aligned non-image data: keypoints, bounding boxes, polygons, line strings, heatmaps, segmentation maps, or Batch/UnnormalizedBatch containers.

What this sub-skill covers

  • Construction and validation of KeypointsOnImage, BoundingBoxesOnImage, PolygonsOnImage, LineStringsOnImage, HeatmapsOnImage, and SegmentationMapsOnImage.
  • Passing aligned augmentables in the same augmenter call as images.
  • Image shape metadata, coordinate projection, on(...), drawing, clipping, and out-of-image handling.
  • Dense heatmap versus segmentation-map semantics.
  • Batch and UnnormalizedBatch workflows for mixed data and background augmentation.

What it does not cover

Typical triggers

  • “Apply affine augmentation to images and bounding boxes.”
  • “How do I augment lower-resolution heatmaps or segmentation maps with images?”
  • “Why are my keypoints out of image bounds after augmentation?”
  • “How should I package images, boxes, and metadata into batches?”

Fast path

  1. Read references/augmentables-data-formats.md to choose object types and data layouts.
  2. Read references/batch-workflows.md when the task uses Batch, UnnormalizedBatch, or background augmentation.
  3. Run scripts/smoke_aligned_augmentables.py for a tiny alignment smoke.
  4. Read references/troubleshooting.md for shape/count mismatches, invalid polygons, dense-map interpolation, or out-of-image coordinate issues.

Core aligned-call pattern

python
import numpy as np
import imgaug as ia
import imgaug.augmenters as iaa

images = np.zeros((2, 64, 64, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
keypoints = [[ia.Keypoint(x=10.5, y=20.5)], [ia.Keypoint(x=30.5, y=40.5)]]
boxes = [[ia.BoundingBox(x1=5, y1=5, x2=20, y2=20)], [ia.BoundingBox(x1=8, y1=8, x2=24, y2=24)]]

seq = iaa.Sequential([iaa.Fliplr(1.0), iaa.Affine(translate_px={"x": 2})])
images_aug, keypoints_aug, boxes_aug = seq(
    images=images,
    keypoints=keypoints,
    bounding_boxes=boxes,
)

Use one call for all aligned data whenever possible. This ensures the same sampled geometric transform is applied to every augmentable group.

Dense-map rules of thumb

  • Heatmaps are continuous arrays; they are usually float-like and may be lower resolution than images.
  • Segmentation maps are categorical; nearest-neighbor semantics are expected during resizing or spatial transforms.
  • Always provide the original image shape to dense augmentable objects so imgaug can project coordinates correctly.

Batch guidance

Use UnnormalizedBatch when a loader naturally returns flexible Python lists or arrays and you want imgaug to normalize and restore output forms. Use Batch when inputs are already normalized imgaug augmentable objects. For multiprocessing, combine this sub-skill with the multicore sub-skill.

Validation mindset

A safe aligned-data smoke should assert:

  1. The number of image items and annotation groups is preserved.
  2. Output shapes match expectations for both images and dense maps.
  3. Coordinate objects remain instances of the expected imgaug classes.
  4. Out-of-image objects are explicitly clipped, removed, or allowed according to task requirements.
