reverse-trace SKILL.md skillA
reverse-trace from tdimino/claude-code-minoan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/reverse-trace@git:20260514.470c51bPins git:20260514.470c51b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Identify the source of an image or video frame — TV show episode, movie scene, geographic location, or original publication. This skill should be used when the user asks to identify where an image is from, trace a screenshot back to its source, geolocate a photo, find what show or movie a frame is from, or do a reverse image search. Chains Google Vision, Picarta geolocation, and Gemini in parallel with graceful degradation. Triggers on: reverse image search, identify source, what show is this…
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
# Reverse Trace Identify the source of images and videos by running multiple reverse search APIs in parallel and synthesizing results into a confidence-ranked report. Each engine contributes a different signal — web entity matching, AI geolocation, multimodal LLM identification — and the orchestrator merges them because no single API reliably covers all identification scenarios. ## Prerequisites At least one API credential must be set. Missing keys cause the orchestrator to skip that engine, not crash. | Engine | Env Var | Free Tier | Signal | |--------|---------|-----------|--------| | Google Vision | `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` or ADC | 1K/mo | Web entities, matching pages, similar images, best-guess labels | | Picarta (geospy) | `PICARTA_API_KEY` or `GEOSPY_API_KEY` | Yes | Lat/lng, city, country, confidence score | | Gemini | `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Yes | Media type, title, season/episode, characters, actors | To set up Vision ADC: `gcloud auth application-default login` ## Workflow ### Full pipeline (recommended default) Run `rt_trace.py` to execute all available engines in parallel. For video input, keyframes are extracted first via ffmpeg. …

How to install
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/reverse-trace@sha256:1b712828e49d7644The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260514.470c51b, 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.
