Analyze images using LLM vision APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI). Use when a task requires understanding image content, describing visual elements, answering questions about images, comparing images, or extracting text from images (OCR). Provides ready-to-use scripts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Image Vision Analysis

## Overview

Analyze images using state-of-the-art LLM vision models. **Use the provided scripts** for most tasks - custom code only needed for advanced scenarios.

## Workflow Decision Tree

### First time using this skill?
→ Read [`setup.md`](setup.md) for one-time environment and API key setup

### Simple image analysis (most common)
→ Use "Quick Start" canned scripts below

### Batch processing or multi-turn conversations
→ Read [`patterns.md`](patterns.md) for advanced patterns

### Something failing?
→ Check setup.md for troubleshooting

## Quick Start (Use Wrapper Scripts)

**ALWAYS use the wrapper scripts** - they handle venv setup automatically:

```bash
# Simple analysis (auto-creates venv on first use)
./vision-analyze.sh <provider> <image_path> <prompt>

# Robust analysis (auto-fallback if provider times out)
./vision-analyze-robust.sh <image_path> <prompt> [timeout_seconds]
```

**The wrapper scripts automatically:**
- Create venv if it doesn't exist
- Install required SDKs
- Use venv Python (no manual activation needed)
- Handle errors gracefully

**Example usage:**

```bash
# Analyze a UI screenshot (Anthropic Claude)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/image-vision@sha256:0029f27b0cb3bf4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.e465f5e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
