What ModLens does

ModLens converts images into structured JSON evidence (transcribed text, layout regions, semantics) so text-only models can answer questions about image content. Use it when a file path or URL with an image extension appears and the active model cannot see the image natively.

ModLens is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. ModLens comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, claude-code, claude-skills, codex and cordis.

Documentation

README

ModLens — Vision Bridge Skill

Use this skill when an image is in play and you cannot see its content: a path or URL with an image extension (the path alone is the trigger, hand it to modlens, never Read the bytes or build your own OCR), a placeholder like [Image #1], [Unsupported Image], or a [Image: source: <path>] line, or the user asking to configure modlens. Do not use it for web search or fetch (that is modsearch), or for images you can already see natively.

Run it

Every modlens command goes through the launcher bundled with this skill. Replace <skill-dir> with the directory this SKILL.md lives in:

Architecture Decision Records

Architecture Decision Records captures architectural decisions made during Claude Code sessions as structured ADRs, recording context, alternatives, and rationale. Use it when significant technical choices are made so future developers understand why the codebase is shaped the way it is.

Agentic OS

Agentic OS codifies a persistent multi-agent operating system architecture for Claude Code. Use it when building a multi-agent workflow with file-based memory, slash commands, and scheduled automation that survives session restarts.
