Reverse image search (find image source, visually similar images). Use when user provides an image and wants to find its origin, similar images, or verify au...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement what it claims, but review a few things before installing: 1) provenance: metadata and names disagree (yandex-image-search vs reverse-image-search) and no homepage is provided — prefer skills with clear source repos. 2) supply-chain: SKILL.md instructs pip install PicImageSearch — inspect the PicImageSearch PyPI project and its version history to ensure you trust it. 3) runtime behavior: the script will access local files you point it to, make network requests to search engines, and write HTML diagnostics into /tmp; run it in an isolated environment if you’re concerned. 4) operational: the code scrapes search engines and may hit CAPTCHAs or changing HTML; expect occasional failures. If you want higher assurance, ask the author for the canonical source repo (matching metadata), or request a fixed wheel/hash for the PicImageSearch dependency.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: yandex-image-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill implements reverse image search functionality using the legitimate PicImageSearch library across Yandex, Google Lens, and Bing. The code in scripts/search.py includes robust error handling and a fallback scraping mechanism for Yandex that saves diagnostic HTML to /tmp for debugging. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found; the behavior is entirely consistent with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md and scripts implement reverse image search (Yandex/Google/Bing) and only require reading an image and making web requests — this matches the description. However metadata is inconsistent: the top-level name is 'yandex-image-search' while _meta.json and SKILL.md use 'reverse-image-search'; owner IDs/slug differ and there's no homepage. These inconsistencies reduce provenance confidence.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are explicit: create a local venv and pip install PicImageSearch, then run scripts/search.py against a URL or local file. The script reads local files, makes network requests to search engines, and writes diagnostic HTML files to /tmp; all of those actions are coherent with reverse-image-search but mean the skill will access local files and the network and will leave files in /tmp.
Install Mechanism
There is no packaged install spec, but SKILL.md directs pip installing PicImageSearch and typing_extensions into a venv at runtime. That requires fetching and executing third‑party code from PyPI (network dependency and supply-chain risk). This is expected for the task but worth reviewing the PicImageSearch package before installing.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The script does not read undeclared secrets; it only reads provided image files and network responses. Requested access appears proportionate to purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill doesn't request elevated privileges. It will write debug HTML files to /tmp and create a venv under the skill directory; these are local effects and within expected scope.
How to Use
