Image expert. ALWAYS invoke this skill when you need to read, analyze, describe, or generate images. Use for screenshots, photos, charts, diagrams, AI-generated images, or any visual content.
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 Tools Use these tools when you encounter images you cannot read natively, or when you need to generate new images. ## image_read Send an image to a vision-capable model and get a text description. ### Local file (most common): ```bash tai tool image_read --image_path /path/to/image.png --prompt "Describe this image" ``` ### URL: ```bash tai tool image_read --image_path https://example.com/photo.jpg --prompt "What is shown?" ``` ### With a specific vision provider: ```bash tai tool image_read --image_path /path/to/image.png --prompt "Describe" --provider llm.my-openai:gpt-4o ``` | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ---------- | ------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | image_path | string | yes | Image file path or URL | | prompt | string | no | Analysis instruction (default: describe in detail) | | max_size | integer | no | Max dimension in pixels for longest edge (default: 1080) | …

How to install
mdr add yaoapp/yao/yao-image@sha256:153dd2ae01dce04fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.8baf80b, 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.
