camera SKILL.md skillB

camera from autonomous-ai/autonomous-os is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add autonomous-ai/autonomous-os/camera@git:20261009.9dbd861

Pins git:20261009.9dbd861 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Camera control — snapshot, stream, and privacy toggle. Trigger on "what do you see", "look at this", "take a photo", "don't look", "stop looking", "stop watching", "stop staring", "camera off", "camera on", "give me privacy". MUST call [HW:/camera/disable:{}] or [HW:/camera/enable:{}] when toggling — never just reply with text.

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

# Camera

## Quick Start
Accesses the device's built-in camera at `http://127.0.0.1:5001` to take snapshots or check the environment. Only use when the user explicitly asks you to look at something.

## Already-captured frame (reuse, don't re-snapshot)

If the incoming turn contains a line like:

```
[vision-image] <absolute-path-to-a.jpg> (a photo was JUST captured ...)
```

a photo was **already taken** for this exact request by the realtime voice layer (it captured the frame, then handed the turn to you — e.g. it timed out mid-answer), and the OS layer delivers it **with this very message** — either as an `[image description]` line (when the main model is text-only, a vision model has already analyzed the photo for you) or as an attached image. **Answer the visual question from that description/attachment. Do NOT call `/api/vision/look` or `/camera/snapshot` again** — re-snapshotting wastes time and may capture a different moment than what the user asked about. Do NOT read the path with a file tool — it is there for traceability only, and on text-only models a file-read image is silently dropped.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add autonomous-ai/autonomous-os/camera@sha256:7bd090e947d6eb58

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.9dbd861, 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.
