What Vision does

Vision calls external vision models to describe images from a prompt and file path. Use it to analyze screenshots, UI layouts, diagrams, or other image content when native image understanding is unavailable.

Vision is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Vision comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, anthropic, claude-code, claude-skills and deepseek.

Documentation

README

vision

Multi-provider vision tool. Call various vision models to describe images. Feed it a prompt + image path, get back a text description.

When to use this tool

If you can already see and understand the image yourself (native multimodal model), skip this tool — analyze it directly.

A SessionStart hook normally announces this session's routing status up front. If that context isn't visible (e.g. compacted out of a long conversation, or the hook isn't installed), check before calling this tool:

python vision.py --check-routing
  • native → you already have native image understanding this session; don't call this tool.
  • external (default) → proceed with the quick start below.

Quick start

python vision.py [--provider <name>] <image_path> <prompt>

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
