Deepseek Vision Helper

When the user shares an image — file path or URL — and you need to understand its content, call this skill's analyze-image tool instead of trying to "see" it directly. The tool sends the image to a vision model and returns a text description.

How to use

./skills/deepseek-vision/analyze-image <image-path-or-url> [focus prompt]

Accepts:

• A local file path (/Users/me/screenshot.png, ~/Desktop/diagram.jpg, relative paths)
• An http/https URL — passed through directly to the API, no download needed

The script prints plaintext. Read it as if you saw the image yourself, then continue your reasoning. On error it prints to stderr and exits non-zero.

What this skill cannot do

Read inline images dropped, pasted, or attached into the chat. When the user drops or pastes an image, or uses Claude Desktop's "+ → Add files or photos" attachment, the image becomes an image_url content block embedded in the message — there is no filesystem path the bash script can reach, and on a text-only backend it usually surfaces as [Unsupported Image].
