Description
Visual inspection helper for VLM and OCR workflows. Use when agent needs to help a vision model see an image more clearly before re-analysis: rotate misalign...
Usage Guidance
This appears to be a focused, local image-preprocessing helper suitable for VLM/OCR workflows. Before installing or running: (1) review the full script if you will process sensitive images (it operates locally and returns base64 or files, but you should avoid pasting secrets into command arguments), (2) install Pillow from the official PyPI source (pip install Pillow) or via your vetted package manager, and (3) confirm your agent won't forward image data to external services unless you intend that. If you need a deeper audit, provide the remainder of scripts/image_helper.py for a line-by-line review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vlm-image-helper
Version: 0.1.0
The vlm-image-helper skill is a legitimate utility designed to assist Vision Language Models (VLMs) by preprocessing images for better OCR and visual analysis. The primary script, scripts/image_helper.py, uses the Pillow library to perform standard image transformations like rotation, cropping, and scaling, with no evidence of malicious behavior such as data exfiltration, network calls, or unauthorized system access. The instructions in SKILL.md and the documentation are consistent with the tool's stated purpose and do not contain harmful prompt-injection attempts.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (VLM/OCR preprocessing) match the provided CLI, SKILL.md, README and the included script: rotation, semantic cropping, scaling and enhancement are implemented and expected for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits scope to minimal transformations for re-analysis and documents input/output rules. The runtime instructions only reference the included script and local image inputs/outputs (file paths, data URIs, base64) — no directives to read unrelated files or send data externally.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in registry; the code is instruction-only plus a small Python script. The only external dependency is Pillow (pip), which is reasonable and documented. No downloads from unknown URLs or archive extraction are used.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The script uses only local temp files and in-memory base64 — proportional to the stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled and uses no privileged agent APIs or modifications to other skills. It writes only its own temporary output files when asked and returns base64 on demand.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vlm-image-helper - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vlm-image-helper - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.1.0
- Initial release of vlm-image-helper: a visual preprocessing tool for OCR and VLM tasks.
- Provides quick commands for rotating, cropping, zooming, enhancing, or converting images to improve model analysis.
- Designed for minimal, targeted image transformations—avoid general-purpose editing.
- Supports input/output as file paths, base64 strings, or data URIs.
- Emphasizes iterative improvement: re-analyze after each edit rather than chaining many changes.
- Includes references for full CLI options and preset parameters.
