/install ocr-local
Description
Extract text from images using Tesseract.js OCR (100% local, no API key required). Supports Chinese (simplified/traditional) and English.
Usage Guidance
Before installing, consider whether your environment permits npm installs and first-run language-data downloads. For stricter or offline use, pin tesseract.js to a reviewed exact version, add a lockfile, prefetch or vendor language data, and avoid running installation or OCR as a privileged user.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Node.js, local file reads for the selected image, and Tesseract language-data caching fit the OCR purpose; no unrelated credential, profile, or broad filesystem access is requested.
Install Mechanism
Installation relies on npm and an unpinned caret dependency for tesseract.js, with no lockfile, so installs are not fully reproducible.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are scoped to OCR usage and options, but the prominent '100% local' wording is softened by notes that first use downloads language data.
Persistence & Privilege
No service, startup hook, agent memory write, privilege escalation, or long-running persistence is present; persistence is limited to normal dependency installation and Tesseract language-data cache behavior.
Purpose & Capability
The skill’s stated purpose is image-to-text OCR using Tesseract.js, and the script only reads a user-supplied image path, runs OCR, and prints text or JSON results.
