Plug-in vision for text-only models. Hard rule: when a file path or URL with an image extension (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif, .heic, .heif) appears anywhere in the conversation (typed by the user, injected as a `[Image: source: <path>]` line, or inside a tag) and you cannot see that image's content, run this skill on it before any other approach: no self-built OCR, no PIL, no tesseract. Also triggers on pasted-image placeholders such as `[Image #1]` and `[Unsupported Image]`. If you can actually see the image, do not use this skill. When unsure, run `modlens guard` before the first read of a session: a deny verdict means the active model has native vision and must read the image itself. Runs the modlens CLI to convert the image into structured JSON evidence: every word transcribed, layout regions, semantics, visual clues. Also use when the user asks how to install, configure, or switch modlens providers (Gemini API key, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Claude API or Claude Code CLI).

# ModLens — Vision Bridge Skill

Use this skill when an image is in play and you cannot see its content: a path or URL with an image extension (the path alone is the trigger, hand it to modlens, never Read the bytes or build your own OCR), a placeholder like `[Image #1]`, `[Unsupported Image]`, or a `[Image: source: <path>]` line, or the user asking to configure modlens. Do not use it for web search or fetch (that is `modsearch`), or for images you can already see natively.

## Run it

Every modlens command goes through the launcher bundled with this skill. Replace `<skill-dir>` with the directory this SKILL.md lives in:

```bash
bash <skill-dir>/scripts/run.sh <args>                              # macOS / Linux
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <skill-dir>\scripts\run.ps1 <args>     # Windows
```

It resolves a working runtime (PATH `modlens`, then `npx`, then `bunx`) and forwards your arguments unchanged. Exit 78 means no runtime: relay the `nextSteps` from its stderr JSON instead of retrying.
