Read the Mac's iCloud Photos library from an agent. Catalog photos/videos with Apple's own quality scores, faces, labels and places, identify who is who by face cluster, build contact sheets, and download full-quality originals from iCloud. Use whenever a task needs the user's own photos or videos (selfie picking, b-roll, post images). Read-only; never edits or deletes the library.
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
# iCloud Photos bridge
The bridge is the local Photos database on the Mac, read through `osxphotos`. iCloud Photos syncs into it, so
everything in iCloud is visible here, including Apple's per-photo aesthetic scores, face clusters and scene labels.
Originals that only live in iCloud ("Optimize Mac Storage") are downloaded on demand through PhotoKit.
Other skills build on this one: `selfie-picker`, `broll-picker`.
## Rules
- Read-only. Never modify, delete, favorite or move anything in Photos.
- Photos stay on this Mac. Don't upload them anywhere unless the user asks for that exact destination.
- Never show or use other people's photos as the subject without asking. Identify people by face cluster
(`owner.py`), never by guessing from the image.
- Download originals with `fetch.py` (PhotoKit). `osxphotos export --download-missing` silently skips
iCloud-only files ("missing: 1") from a terminal, and asks y/N on an existing folder, which hangs an agent.
## Setup (once)
```bash
bash <this skill's folder>/scripts/setup.sh
```
Installs `osxphotos` (pipx or uv), checks library access, and saves where these scripts live to

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/icloud-photos-bridge@sha256:2610e2880b77c7faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.d5d2554, 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.
