DEPRECATED — use `read img.jpg` or `read_image` instead. Display an image in the terminal (view-only, no VLM). Renders the image as colorful block art with chafa, or opens it in a native window with `open` on macOS.
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
# viewimg — **DEPRECATED** — use `read img.jpg` instead > **⚠️ DEPRECATED:** This skill is superseded by `read img.jpg` (native pi image display) + `read_image`/`/readimg` (VLM analysis). See [docs/image-display-deprecation.md](../../../docs/image-display-deprecation.md) for the full migration guide. > > `viewimg` will be removed in a future release. No further development. Display an image in the terminal. **View-only — never analyzes, never fires the VLM.** Understanding is a separate, explicit step (`read_image` / `/readimg`). ## Migration | Old | New | |-----|-----| | `viewimg img.jpg` | `read img.jpg` | | `viewimg img.jpg --open` | `open -a Preview img.jpg` (macOS) | | `viewimg img.jpg --size 40x20` | `read img.jpg` (auto-sizes) | | `viewimg img1.jpg img2.jpg --open` | `open -a Preview img1.jpg img2.jpg` (macOS) | See [migration guide](../../../docs/image-display-deprecation.md) for details. ## Usage ```bash viewimg <image-file>... [--size WxH] [--open] [--no-color] [--help] ``` | Flag | Meaning | |------|---------| | `--size WxH` | chafa block size (default `60x30`) | …

How to install
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/viewimg@sha256:13b5c61319abe706The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
