Plug-in vision for text-only models. Hard rule: when a file path or URL with an image extension (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif, .heic, .heif) appears anywhere in the conversation (typed by the user, injected as a `[Image: source: <path>]` line, or inside a tag) and you cannot see that image's content, run this skill on it before any other approach: no self-built OCR, no PIL, no tesseract. Also triggers on pasted-image placeholders such as `[Image #1]` and `[Unsupported Image]`. If you can…
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
# ModLens — Vision Bridge Skill Use this skill when an image is in play and you cannot see its content: a path or URL with an image extension (the path alone is the trigger, hand it to modlens, never Read the bytes or build your own OCR), a placeholder like `[Image #1]`, `[Unsupported Image]`, or a `[Image: source: <path>]` line, or the user asking to configure modlens. Do not use it for web search or fetch (that is `modsearch`), or for images you can already see natively. ## Run it Every modlens command goes through the launcher bundled with this skill. Replace `<skill-dir>` with the directory this SKILL.md lives in: ```bash bash <skill-dir>/scripts/run.sh <args> # macOS / Linux powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <skill-dir>\scripts\run.ps1 <args> # Windows ``` It resolves a working runtime (PATH `modlens`, then `npx`, then `bunx`) and forwards your arguments unchanged. Exit 78 means no runtime: relay the `nextSteps` from its stderr JSON instead of retrying. If your harness forbids running scripts, reason through the same order by hand and run the first line that works (the pinned version is 3.27.2): …

How to install
mdr add liustack/modlens/modlens@sha256:3560eb0f573dbc52The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.ac278f8, 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.
