The payload is constructed natively by `jq -n`\ninside `scripts/call-api.sh` to prevent JSON injection (see\n[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)).\n\n## Payload construction (security)\n\nThe payload is built with `jq -n --arg` so all user-supplied fields\n(`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`, `image_url`) are\nJSON-escaped by jq's native string handling. No `gsub`/`fromjson` string\nsubstitution is performed — this eliminates the JSON injection attack surface.\n\nUntrusted content is wrapped in `` boundary markers and the\nsystem prompt instructs the model to treat content inside these tags as data,\nnot instructions (prompt-injection mitigation).\n\n## Model note\n\n| Provider | Default model | Notes |\n|----------|--------------|-------|\n| `ark` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` | Volcengine Ark / doubao |\n| `openai` | `gpt-4o-mini` | OpenAI-compatible; override with `VISION_MODEL` |\n\nThe Volcengine Ark API is fully OpenAI-compatible (same `/chat/completions`\nendpoint, same request/response schema), so the same payload construction works\nfor both providers.\n\n## Image payload preparation\n\nThe API requires the image inside the message `content` array as an\n`image_url` part. Convert local files to a base64 data URL first:\n\n```bash\nIMG=\"$IMAGE_PATH\"\nMIME=$(file -b --mime-type \"$IMG\")\nB64=$(base64 -w0 \"$IMG\")\nIMAGE_URL=\"data:${MIME};base64,${B64}\"\n```\n\nIf `image` is already an `http(s)://` URL or a `data:` URL, use it directly.\n\n## Minimal curl example\n\n```bash\ncurl -sS \"$VF_ENDPOINT\" \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer ***\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d @payload.json\n```\n\nFile v1.4.3:references/configuration.md\n\n# Configuration - resolving provider and API key\n\n## Provider selection\n\nSet `VISION_PROVIDER` to choose the backend:\n\n| Value | Backend | Default endpoint | Default model |\n|-------|---------|-----------------|---------------|\n| `ark` (default) | Volcengine Ark / doubao | `https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/plan/v3` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` |\n| `openai` | Any OpenAI-compatible API | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `gpt-4o-mini` |\n\n## Overrides\n\nAll of these can be set as environment variables to override the defaults:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n|----------|---------|\n| `VISION_PROVIDER` | `ark` or `openai` |\n| `VISION_API_KEY` | API key (works for **any** provider, highest priority) |\n| `VISION_BASE_URL` | Base URL up to (but not including) `/chat/completions` |\n| `VISION_MODEL` | Model name to use |\n| `VISION_ENV_FILE` | Explicit dotenv file path |\n\n## API key resolution order\n\nThe key MUST be resolved before any request. Resolve in this exact order and\nstop at the first source that yields a non-empty value:\n\n1. **`VISION_API_KEY`** - universal override, works for any provider (preferred).\n2. **Provider-specific env var**:\n - `ark` → `ARK_API_KEY`\n - `openai` → `OPENAI_API_KEY`\n3. **Env file** - source a dotenv-style file if present. Try these paths in\n order until one exists:\n - `$VISION_ENV_FILE` (explicit override, if set)\n - `~/.env_vars`\n - `/root/.env_vars`\n\n Inside the file, check `VISION_API_KEY` first, then the provider-specific\n var for the current provider.\n4. If none of the above yields a non-empty key:\n - Do NOT make the API request.\n - Report to the user which provider was attempted and which env vars were checked.\n\n## Concrete resolution command\n\nThis logic is implemented in `scripts/resolve-config.sh`. Key resolution\norder:\n\n1. **Dotenv pre-parse** - before applying provider defaults, read\n `VISION_PROVIDER`, `VISION_BASE_URL`, `VISION_MODEL` from dotenv files\n (only if not already set as env vars). This lets users configure the\n provider in `~/.env_vars` without exporting it.\n2. **Provider defaults** - apply `:=` defaults for `VISION_BASE_URL` and\n `VISION_MODEL` based on `VISION_PROVIDER`.\n3. **API key** - resolve in order: `VISION_API_KEY` env var →\n provider-specific env var (`ARK_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_API_KEY`) → dotenv\n files (safe grep parse, no sourcing).\n\n```bash\n: \"${VISION_PROVIDER:=ark}\"\n: \"${VISION_ENV_FILE:=}\"\n\n# Provider defaults\ncase \"$VISION_PROVIDER\" in\n ark) KEY_ENV=\"ARK_API_KEY\" ;;\n openai) KEY_ENV=\"OPENAI_API_KEY\" ;;\n *) echo \"ERROR: invalid VISION_PROVIDER\"; exit 1 ;;\nesac\n\n# 1.

This is a false positive.**\n\n`ark.cn-beijing.volces.com` is the **official API endpoint** for Volcengine Ark\n(火山方舟), ByteDance's cloud AI platform. The domain:\n\n- `volces.com` is the registered domain of Volcengine (火山引擎), a major\n Chinese cloud provider and subsidiary of ByteDance.\n- `ark.cn-beijing` is the Ark (model serving) service in the Beijing region.\n- Documentation: https://www.volcengine.com/docs/82379\n- The endpoint is only a default — users override it with `VISION_BASE_URL`.\n\n**This is not a download URL.** No executable is fetched from this host. The\nskill sends an authenticated POST request to a chat completions API, identical\nin nature to calling `api.openai.com`.\n\n## Security design\n\n### JSON injection prevention (RCE mitigation)\n\n**Previous design (vulnerable):** The payload was built by `jq gsub` string\nsubstitution on a JSON template, then parsed with `fromjson`. User-supplied\ntext containing double quotes or control characters could break the JSON\nstructure and inject unauthorized keys.\n\n**Current design (safe):** The payload is constructed natively with\n`jq -n --arg`, which handles all JSON escaping internally. No string\nsubstitution or template parsing occurs. This eliminates the injection surface\nentirely.\n\n### Prompt injection mitigation\n\nUntrusted data (`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`) is\nwrapped in `` boundary markers within the user message. The\nsystem prompt explicitly instructs the model to treat content inside these tags\nas data, not instructions.\n\n### Credential handling\n\n**Previous design (unsafe):** Dotenv files were sourced with `. \"$f\"`, which\nexecutes their content as shell commands — a risk if the file is writable by\nanother process/user.\n\n**Current design (safe):** Dotenv files are parsed with `grep` + `sed` to\nextract `KEY=VALUE` lines. No execution occurs. Only the specific keys\n(`VISION_API_KEY`, `ARK_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) are extracted.\n\n### Data exfiltration (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill's core function is sending images to a vision API for interpretation.\nThis is documented behavior, not a vulnerability. Users choose their provider\n(`ark` or `openai` or any custom endpoint via `VISION_BASE_URL`) and provide\ntheir own API key. No data is sent to any endpoint other than the configured\nvision API.\n\n### Command execution (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill uses standard system utilities (`curl`, `jq`, `base64`, `file`) to\nprocess images and make network requests. These are necessary for the skill's\nfunctionality and are clearly documented in the compatibility requirements.\n\nFile v1.4.3:skill-card.md\n\n## Description:\n\nProvides fallback vision/image understanding for agents when the primary model cannot interpret an image, calling an OpenAI-compatible vision API and returning structured JSON.\n\nThis skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.\n\n## Publisher:\n\n[vst93](https://clawhub.ai/user/vst93)\n\n### License/Terms of Use:\n\nMIT\n\n## Use Case:\n\nDevelopers and agent users use this skill when a primary model lacks image support or returns insufficient image understanding, especially for UI screenshots, terminal output, mobile app screens, and layout reconstruction.

Convert local files to a base64 data URL first:\n\n```bash\nIMG=\"$IMAGE_PATH\"\nMIME=$(file -b --mime-type \"$IMG\")\nB64=$(base64 -w0 \"$IMG\")\nIMAGE_URL=\"data:${MIME};base64,${B64}\"\n```\n\nIf `image` is already an `http(s)://` URL or a `data:` URL, use it directly.\n\n## Minimal curl example\n\n```bash\ncurl -sS \"$VF_ENDPOINT\" \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer ***\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d @payload.json\n```\n\nFile v1.4.2:references/configuration.md\n\n# Configuration - resolving provider and API key\n\n## Provider selection\n\nSet `VISION_PROVIDER` to choose the backend:\n\n| Value | Backend | Default endpoint | Default model |\n|-------|---------|-----------------|---------------|\n| `ark` (default) | Volcengine Ark / doubao | `https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/plan/v3` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` |\n| `openai` | Any OpenAI-compatible API | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `gpt-4o-mini` |\n\n## Overrides\n\nAll of these can be set as environment variables to override the defaults:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n|----------|---------|\n| `VISION_PROVIDER` | `ark` or `openai` |\n| `VISION_API_KEY` | API key (works for **any** provider, highest priority) |\n| `VISION_BASE_URL` | Base URL up to (but not including) `/chat/completions` |\n| `VISION_MODEL` | Model name to use |\n| `VISION_ENV_FILE` | Explicit dotenv file path |\n\n## API key resolution order\n\nThe key MUST be resolved before any request. Resolve in this exact order and\nstop at the first source that yields a non-empty value:\n\n1. **`VISION_API_KEY`** - universal override, works for any provider (preferred).\n2. **Provider-specific env var**:\n - `ark` → `ARK_API_KEY`\n - `openai` → `OPENAI_API_KEY`\n3. **Env file** - source a dotenv-style file if present. Try these paths in\n order until one exists:\n - `$VISION_ENV_FILE` (explicit override, if set)\n - `~/.env_vars`\n - `/root/.env_vars`\n\n Inside the file, check `VISION_API_KEY` first, then the provider-specific\n var for the current provider.\n4. If none of the above yields a non-empty key:\n - Do NOT make the API request.\n - Report to the user which provider was attempted and which env vars were checked.\n\n## Concrete resolution command\n\nThis logic is implemented in `scripts/resolve-config.sh`. Key resolution\norder:\n\n1. **Dotenv pre-parse** - before applying provider defaults, read\n `VISION_PROVIDER`, `VISION_BASE_URL`, `VISION_MODEL` from dotenv files\n (only if not already set as env vars). This lets users configure the\n provider in `~/.env_vars` without exporting it.\n2. **Provider defaults** - apply `:=` defaults for `VISION_BASE_URL` and\n `VISION_MODEL` based on `VISION_PROVIDER`.\n3. **API key** - resolve in order: `VISION_API_KEY` env var →\n provider-specific env var (`ARK_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_API_KEY`) → dotenv\n files (safe grep parse, no sourcing).\n\n```bash\n: \"${VISION_PROVIDER:=ark}\"\n: \"${VISION_ENV_FILE:=}\"\n\n# Provider defaults\ncase \"$VISION_PROVIDER\" in\n ark) KEY_ENV=\"ARK_API_KEY\" ;;\n openai) KEY_ENV=\"OPENAI_API_KEY\" ;;\n *) echo \"ERROR: invalid VISION_PROVIDER\"; exit 1 ;;\nesac\n\n# 1.

This is a false positive.**\n\n`ark.cn-beijing.volces.com` is the **official API endpoint** for Volcengine Ark\n(火山方舟), ByteDance's cloud AI platform. The domain:\n\n- `volces.com` is the registered domain of Volcengine (火山引擎), a major\n Chinese cloud provider and subsidiary of ByteDance.\n- `ark.cn-beijing` is the Ark (model serving) service in the Beijing region.\n- Documentation: https://www.volcengine.com/docs/82379\n- The endpoint is only a default — users override it with `VISION_BASE_URL`.\n\n**This is not a download URL.** No executable is fetched from this host. The\nskill sends an authenticated POST request to a chat completions API, identical\nin nature to calling `api.openai.com`.\n\n## Security design\n\n### JSON injection prevention (RCE mitigation)\n\n**Previous design (vulnerable):** The payload was built by `jq gsub` string\nsubstitution on a JSON template, then parsed with `fromjson`. User-supplied\ntext containing double quotes or control characters could break the JSON\nstructure and inject unauthorized keys.\n\n**Current design (safe):** The payload is constructed natively with\n`jq -n --arg`, which handles all JSON escaping internally. No string\nsubstitution or template parsing occurs. This eliminates the injection surface\nentirely.\n\n### Prompt injection mitigation\n\nUntrusted data (`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`) is\nwrapped in `` boundary markers within the user message. The\nsystem prompt explicitly instructs the model to treat content inside these tags\nas data, not instructions.\n\n### Credential handling\n\n**Previous design (unsafe):** Dotenv files were sourced with `. \"$f\"`, which\nexecutes their content as shell commands — a risk if the file is writable by\nanother process/user.\n\n**Current design (safe):** Dotenv files are parsed with `grep` + `sed` to\nextract `KEY=VALUE` lines. No execution occurs. Only the specific keys\n(`VISION_API_KEY`, `ARK_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) are extracted.\n\n### Data exfiltration (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill's core function is sending images to a vision API for interpretation.\nThis is documented behavior, not a vulnerability. Users choose their provider\n(`ark` or `openai` or any custom endpoint via `VISION_BASE_URL`) and provide\ntheir own API key. No data is sent to any endpoint other than the configured\nvision API.\n\n### Command execution (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill uses standard system utilities (`curl`, `jq`, `base64`, `file`) to\nprocess images and make network requests. These are necessary for the skill's\nfunctionality and are clearly documented in the compatibility requirements.\n\nFile v1.4.2:skill-card.md\n\n## Description:
\nVision/image understanding for agents whose model can't read images, calls an OpenAI-compatible vision API, and returns structured JSON when primary vision output fails or is unavailable.
\n\nThis skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
\n\n## Publisher:
\n[vst93](https://clawhub.ai/user/vst93)
\n\n### License/Terms of Use:
\nMIT
\n\n\n## Use Case:
\nDevelopers and AI agent users use this skill to obtain structured image understanding for screenshots, terminal output, mobile apps, documents, and UI layouts when the primary model cannot read or reliably interpret an image.
\n\n### Deployment Geography for Use:
\nGlobal
\n\n## Known Risks and Mitigations:
\nRisk: Images, OCR text, failure reasons, and prior model output are sent to the configured vision provider.
\nMitigation: Use an organization-approved provider or endpoint for confidential screenshots, source code, credentials, personal data, or regulated documents.
\nRisk: The default Ark provider is hosted in mainland China, which may create latency, reachability, or data-handling concerns for some users.
\nMitigation: Set VISION_PROVIDER, VISION_BASE_URL, and VISION_MODEL to an approved OpenAI-compatible provider when regional or organizational requirements demand it.
\nRisk: The skill requires an API key and local shell utilities before it can make a vision request.
\nMitigation: Run scripts/check.sh first and stop if prerequisites are missing rather than substituting local OCR for visual understanding.

Calls an OpenAI-compatible vision API (doubao or any OpenAI-compatible provider), returns structured JSON. Use whenever an image must be understood. Do NOT substitute with local OCR (tesseract) - OCR extracts text only, not layout/visual understanding.\ncompatibility: bash, curl, jq, file, base64; requires VISION_API_KEY (universal) or ARK_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY\n---\n\n# vision-fallback\n\n> Calls an OpenAI-compatible vision API via `/chat/completions`.\n> Default provider: Volcengine Ark (doubao). Set `VISION_PROVIDER=openai` to use\n> any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Azure, vLLM, etc.).\n> Only credential needed: `VISION_API_KEY` (universal) or a provider-specific key.\n\n## Trigger\n\nUse when ANY holds:\n\n- the current model **does not support images at all** (e.g. returns\n `model does not support images`, `images are not supported`, or refuses to\n read the attached image)\n- vision output empty/null, or says \"unknown\" / \"cannot determine\"\n- vision confidence < 0.5 (if available)\n- OCR text exists but the primary model fails to interpret it\n- user says the image is not understood / result is wrong\n\nOtherwise do NOT use this skill.\n\n## ⚠️ No OCR substitution\n\nDo **NOT** fall back to local OCR (`tesseract`, `ocrmypdf`, …) as a substitute.\nOCR extracts text only - it cannot infer layout, control types (switch / radio /\ncard), or visual hierarchy. If the skill cannot run (see Preflight), **stop and\ntell the user** the missing prerequisite (usually an API key) instead of\nsilently degrading to OCR.\n\n## Preflight (run once before the first call)\n\n```bash\n./scripts/check.sh\n```\n\nExits 0 only when all prerequisites are present (shell deps + API key resolved +\nendpoint reachable). If it fails, read its stderr, fix the reported\nprerequisite, and re-run. Do not proceed to `call-api.sh` until `check.sh`\npasses - a failed preflight means the API call will fail anyway.\n\n## Input\n\n`image` (required: file path / URL / data URL), `ocr_text`, `failure_reason`,\n`primary_model_output` (all optional).\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Run `./scripts/check.sh`. If non-zero, stop and report to the user (see\n above) - do not fall back to OCR.\n2. `./scripts/call-api.sh \"$IMAGE\" \"$OCR_TEXT\" \"$FAILURE_REASON\" \"$PRIMARY_OUTPUT\"`\n - resolves provider config + API key, converts the image to a data URL,\n assembles the payload, and POSTs. See\n [references/configuration.md](references/configuration.md) for config and\n key-resolution order.\n3. Parse `choices[0].message.content` -> structured JSON. Schema in\n [references/output-format.md](references/output-format.md).\n4. If still insufficient -> escalate to a stronger model (set `VISION_MODEL`\n or switch `VISION_PROVIDER`); do NOT retry this skill and do NOT fall back\n to OCR.

The payload is constructed natively by `jq -n`\ninside `scripts/call-api.sh` to prevent JSON injection (see\n[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)).\n\n## Payload construction (security)\n\nThe payload is built with `jq -n --arg` so all user-supplied fields\n(`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`, `image_url`) are\nJSON-escaped by jq's native string handling. No `gsub`/`fromjson` string\nsubstitution is performed — this eliminates the JSON injection attack surface.\n\nUntrusted content is wrapped in `` boundary markers and the\nsystem prompt instructs the model to treat content inside these tags as data,\nnot instructions (prompt-injection mitigation).\n\n## Model note\n\n| Provider | Default model | Notes |\n|----------|--------------|-------|\n| `ark` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` | Volcengine Ark / doubao |\n| `openai` | `gpt-4o-mini` | OpenAI-compatible; override with `VISION_MODEL` |\n\nThe Volcengine Ark API is fully OpenAI-compatible (same `/chat/completions`\nendpoint, same request/response schema), so the same payload construction works\nfor both providers.\n\n## Image payload preparation\n\nThe API requires the image inside the message `content` array as an\n`image_url` part. Convert local files to a base64 data URL first:\n\n```bash\nIMG=\"$IMAGE_PATH\"\nMIME=$(file -b --mime-type \"$IMG\")\nB64=$(base64 -w0 \"$IMG\")\nIMAGE_URL=\"data:${MIME};base64,${B64}\"\n```\n\nIf `image` is already an `http(s)://` URL or a `data:` URL, use it directly.\n\n## Minimal curl example\n\n```bash\ncurl -sS \"$VF_ENDPOINT\" \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer ***\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d @payload.json\n```\n\nFile v1.4.1:references/configuration.md\n\n# Configuration - resolving provider and API key\n\n## Provider selection\n\nSet `VISION_PROVIDER` to choose the backend:\n\n| Value | Backend | Default endpoint | Default model |\n|-------|---------|-----------------|---------------|\n| `ark` (default) | Volcengine Ark / doubao | `https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/plan/v3` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` |\n| `openai` | Any OpenAI-compatible API | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `gpt-4o-mini` |\n\n## Overrides\n\nAll of these can be set as environment variables to override the defaults:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n|----------|---------|\n| `VISION_PROVIDER` | `ark` or `openai` |\n| `VISION_API_KEY` | API key (works for **any** provider, highest priority) |\n| `VISION_BASE_URL` | Base URL up to (but not including) `/chat/completions` |\n| `VISION_MODEL` | Model name to use |\n| `VISION_ENV_FILE` | Explicit dotenv file path |\n\n## API key resolution order\n\nThe key MUST be resolved before any request. Resolve in this exact order and\nstop at the first source that yields a non-empty value:\n\n1. **`VISION_API_KEY`** - universal override, works for any provider (preferred).\n2. **Provider-specific env var**:\n - `ark` → `ARK_API_KEY`\n - `openai` → `OPENAI_API_KEY`\n3. **Env file** - source a dotenv-style file if present. Try these paths in\n order until one exists:\n - `$VISION_ENV_FILE` (explicit override, if set)\n - `~/.env_vars`\n - `/root/.env_vars`\n\n Inside the file, check `VISION_API_KEY` first, then the provider-specific\n var for the current provider.\n4. If none of the above yields a non-empty key:\n - Do NOT make the API request.\n - Report to the user which provider was attempted and which env vars were checked.\n\n## Concrete resolution command\n\nThis logic is implemented in `scripts/resolve-config.sh`. The equivalent inline\nform (run once per invocation):\n\n```bash\n: \"${VISION_PROVIDER:=ark}\"\n: \"${VISION_ENV_FILE:=}\"\n\n# Provider defaults\ncase \"$VISION_PROVIDER\" in\n ark) KEY_ENV=\"ARK_API_KEY\" ;;\n openai) KEY_ENV=\"OPENAI_API_KEY\" ;;\n *) echo \"ERROR: invalid VISION_PROVIDER\"; exit 1 ;;\nesac\n\n# 1.

This is a false positive.**\n\n`ark.cn-beijing.volces.com` is the **official API endpoint** for Volcengine Ark\n(火山方舟), ByteDance's cloud AI platform. The domain:\n\n- `volces.com` is the registered domain of Volcengine (火山引擎), a major\n Chinese cloud provider and subsidiary of ByteDance.\n- `ark.cn-beijing` is the Ark (model serving) service in the Beijing region.\n- Documentation: https://www.volcengine.com/docs/82379\n- The endpoint is only a default — users override it with `VISION_BASE_URL`.\n\n**This is not a download URL.** No executable is fetched from this host. The\nskill sends an authenticated POST request to a chat completions API, identical\nin nature to calling `api.openai.com`.\n\n## Security design\n\n### JSON injection prevention (RCE mitigation)\n\n**Previous design (vulnerable):** The payload was built by `jq gsub` string\nsubstitution on a JSON template, then parsed with `fromjson`. User-supplied\ntext containing double quotes or control characters could break the JSON\nstructure and inject unauthorized keys.\n\n**Current design (safe):** The payload is constructed natively with\n`jq -n --arg`, which handles all JSON escaping internally. No string\nsubstitution or template parsing occurs. This eliminates the injection surface\nentirely.\n\n### Prompt injection mitigation\n\nUntrusted data (`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`) is\nwrapped in `` boundary markers within the user message. The\nsystem prompt explicitly instructs the model to treat content inside these tags\nas data, not instructions.\n\n### Credential handling\n\n**Previous design (unsafe):** Dotenv files were sourced with `. \"$f\"`, which\nexecutes their content as shell commands — a risk if the file is writable by\nanother process/user.\n\n**Current design (safe):** Dotenv files are parsed with `grep` + `sed` to\nextract `KEY=VALUE` lines. No execution occurs. Only the specific keys\n(`VISION_API_KEY`, `ARK_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) are extracted.\n\n### Data exfiltration (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill's core function is sending images to a vision API for interpretation.\nThis is documented behavior, not a vulnerability. Users choose their provider\n(`ark` or `openai` or any custom endpoint via `VISION_BASE_URL`) and provide\ntheir own API key. No data is sent to any endpoint other than the configured\nvision API.\n\n### Command execution (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill uses standard system utilities (`curl`, `jq`, `base64`, `file`) to\nprocess images and make network requests. These are necessary for the skill's\nfunctionality and are clearly documented in the compatibility requirements.\n\nFile v1.4.1:skill-card.md\n\n## Description:
\nVision Fallback helps agents recover from failed image understanding by sending selected images and context to an OpenAI-compatible vision API and returning structured JSON.
\n\nThis skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
\n\n## Publisher:
\n[vst93](https://clawhub.ai/user/vst93)
\n\n### License/Terms of Use:
\nMIT
\n\n\n## Use Case:
\nDevelopers and agent users use this skill when a primary model cannot read or confidently interpret an image. It supports UI screenshots, terminal output, mobile app screens, documents with OCR context, and other structured visual content by returning a machine-readable interpretation.
\n\n### Deployment Geography for Use:
\nGlobal
\n\n## Known Risks and Mitigations:
\nRisk: Selected images, OCR text, failure reasons, and prior model output are sent to the configured vision provider.
\nMitigation: Use only an approved provider for the data, set VISION_PROVIDER, VISION_BASE_URL, and VISION_MODEL explicitly, and avoid sensitive screenshots or documents unless that provider is approved.
\nRisk: The default Ark provider uses a mainland China endpoint, which may introduce reachability, latency, or data residency concerns for some deployments.
\nMitigation: Switch to an approved OpenAI-compatible provider or endpoint with VISION_PROVIDER and VISION_BASE_URL when regional requirements apply.
\nRisk: The fallback result may still be uncertain or insufficient for the image.
\nMitigation: Escalate to a stronger vision model or switch provider; do not loop this skill repeatedly on the same image.
\nRisk: Missing shell dependencies or API credentials prevent the skill from running.
\nMitigation: Run scripts/check.sh before use and configure VISION_API_KEY or the provider-specific key reported by the preflight check.

The payload is constructed natively by `jq -n`\ninside `scripts/call-api.sh` to prevent JSON injection (see\n[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)).\n\n## Payload construction (security)\n\nThe payload is built with `jq -n --arg` so all user-supplied fields\n(`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`, `image_url`) are\nJSON-escaped by jq's native string handling. No `gsub`/`fromjson` string\nsubstitution is performed — this eliminates the JSON injection attack surface.\n\nUntrusted content is wrapped in `` boundary markers and the\nsystem prompt instructs the model to treat content inside these tags as data,\nnot instructions (prompt-injection mitigation).\n\n## Model note\n\n| Provider | Default model | Notes |\n|----------|--------------|-------|\n| `ark` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` | Volcengine Ark / doubao |\n| `openai` | `gpt-4o-mini` | OpenAI-compatible; override with `VISION_MODEL` |\n\nThe Volcengine Ark API is fully OpenAI-compatible (same `/chat/completions`\nendpoint, same request/response schema), so the same payload construction works\nfor both providers.\n\n## Image payload preparation\n\nThe API requires the image inside the message `content` array as an\n`image_url` part. Convert local files to a base64 data URL first:\n\n```bash\nIMG=\"$IMAGE_PATH\"\nMIME=$(file -b --mime-type \"$IMG\")\nB64=$(base64 -w0 \"$IMG\")\nIMAGE_URL=\"data:${MIME};base64,${B64}\"\n```\n\nIf `image` is already an `http(s)://` URL or a `data:` URL, use it directly.\n\n## Minimal curl example\n\n```bash\ncurl -sS \"$VF_ENDPOINT\" \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer ***\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d @payload.json\n```\n\nFile v1.4.0:references/configuration.md\n\n# Configuration - resolving provider and API key\n\n## Provider selection\n\nSet `VISION_PROVIDER` to choose the backend:\n\n| Value | Backend | Default endpoint | Default model |\n|-------|---------|-----------------|---------------|\n| `ark` (default) | Volcengine Ark / doubao | `https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/plan/v3` | `doubao-seed-2.0-lite` |\n| `openai` | Any OpenAI-compatible API | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `gpt-4o-mini` |\n\n## Overrides\n\nAll of these can be set as environment variables to override the defaults:\n\n| Variable | Purpose |\n|----------|---------|\n| `VISION_PROVIDER` | `ark` or `openai` |\n| `VISION_API_KEY` | API key (works for **any** provider, highest priority) |\n| `VISION_BASE_URL` | Base URL up to (but not including) `/chat/completions` |\n| `VISION_MODEL` | Model name to use |\n| `VISION_ENV_FILE` | Explicit dotenv file path |\n\n## API key resolution order\n\nThe key MUST be resolved before any request. Resolve in this exact order and\nstop at the first source that yields a non-empty value:\n\n1. **`VISION_API_KEY`** - universal override, works for any provider (preferred).\n2. **Provider-specific env var**:\n - `ark` → `ARK_API_KEY`\n - `openai` → `OPENAI_API_KEY`\n3. **Env file** - source a dotenv-style file if present. Try these paths in\n order until one exists:\n - `$VISION_ENV_FILE` (explicit override, if set)\n - `~/.env_vars`\n - `/root/.env_vars`\n\n Inside the file, check `VISION_API_KEY` first, then the provider-specific\n var for the current provider.\n4. If none of the above yields a non-empty key:\n - Do NOT make the API request.\n - Report to the user which provider was attempted and which env vars were checked.\n\n## Concrete resolution command\n\nThis logic is implemented in `scripts/resolve-config.sh`. The equivalent inline\nform (run once per invocation):\n\n```bash\n: \"${VISION_PROVIDER:=ark}\"\n: \"${VISION_ENV_FILE:=}\"\n\n# Provider defaults\ncase \"$VISION_PROVIDER\" in\n ark) KEY_ENV=\"ARK_API_KEY\" ;;\n openai) KEY_ENV=\"OPENAI_API_KEY\" ;;\n *) echo \"ERROR: invalid VISION_PROVIDER\"; exit 1 ;;\nesac\n\n# 1.

This is a false positive.**\n\n`ark.cn-beijing.volces.com` is the **official API endpoint** for Volcengine Ark\n(火山方舟), ByteDance's cloud AI platform. The domain:\n\n- `volces.com` is the registered domain of Volcengine (火山引擎), a major\n Chinese cloud provider and subsidiary of ByteDance.\n- `ark.cn-beijing` is the Ark (model serving) service in the Beijing region.\n- Documentation: https://www.volcengine.com/docs/82379\n- The endpoint is only a default — users override it with `VISION_BASE_URL`.\n\n**This is not a download URL.** No executable is fetched from this host. The\nskill sends an authenticated POST request to a chat completions API, identical\nin nature to calling `api.openai.com`.\n\n## Security design\n\n### JSON injection prevention (RCE mitigation)\n\n**Previous design (vulnerable):** The payload was built by `jq gsub` string\nsubstitution on a JSON template, then parsed with `fromjson`. User-supplied\ntext containing double quotes or control characters could break the JSON\nstructure and inject unauthorized keys.\n\n**Current design (safe):** The payload is constructed natively with\n`jq -n --arg`, which handles all JSON escaping internally. No string\nsubstitution or template parsing occurs. This eliminates the injection surface\nentirely.\n\n### Prompt injection mitigation\n\nUntrusted data (`ocr_text`, `failure_reason`, `primary_model_output`) is\nwrapped in `` boundary markers within the user message. The\nsystem prompt explicitly instructs the model to treat content inside these tags\nas data, not instructions.\n\n### Credential handling\n\n**Previous design (unsafe):** Dotenv files were sourced with `. \"$f\"`, which\nexecutes their content as shell commands — a risk if the file is writable by\nanother process/user.\n\n**Current design (safe):** Dotenv files are parsed with `grep` + `sed` to\nextract `KEY=VALUE` lines. No execution occurs. Only the specific keys\n(`VISION_API_KEY`, `ARK_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`) are extracted.\n\n### Data exfiltration (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill's core function is sending images to a vision API for interpretation.\nThis is documented behavior, not a vulnerability. Users choose their provider\n(`ark` or `openai` or any custom endpoint via `VISION_BASE_URL`) and provide\ntheir own API key. No data is sent to any endpoint other than the configured\nvision API.\n\n### Command execution (inherent, accepted)\n\nThe skill uses standard system utilities (`curl`, `jq`, `base64`, `file`) to\nprocess images and make network requests. These are necessary for the skill's\nfunctionality and are clearly documented in the compatibility requirements.\n\nFile v1.4.0:skill-card.md\n\n## Description:
\nvision-fallback helps agents understand images when the primary model cannot, by calling a configured OpenAI-compatible vision API and returning structured JSON.
\n\nThis skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
\n\n## Publisher:
\n[vst93](https://clawhub.ai/user/vst93)
\n\n### License/Terms of Use:
\nMIT
\n\n\n## Use Case:
\nDevelopers and agent users use this skill when an agent cannot understand an image, such as a UI screenshot, terminal output, mobile app screen, or structured visual content. The skill returns structured image-understanding data for downstream agent reasoning.
\n\n### Deployment Geography for Use:
\nGlobal, subject to the configured vision provider endpoint; the default Ark provider uses mainland China.
\n\n## Known Risks and Mitigations:
\nRisk: Images and related context are sent to the configured vision provider.
\nMitigation: Avoid screenshots or documents containing secrets, credentials, regulated data, or private business information unless the selected provider and retention policy are acceptable.
\nRisk: The configured provider endpoint determines where image data is processed and whether the endpoint is reachable.
\nMitigation: Set an explicit trusted VISION_PROVIDER and VISION_BASE_URL, and run the included preflight check before use.
\nRisk: Vision output may remain incomplete or uncertain.
\nMitigation: Review the returned uncertainty notes and escalate to a stronger configured model or provider instead of retrying repeatedly or substituting local OCR.

Resolve in this exact order and\nstop at the first source that yields a non-empty value:\n\n1. **`VISION_API_KEY`** - universal override, works for any provider (preferred).\n2. **Provider-specific env var**:\n - `ark` → `ARK_API_KEY`\n - `openai` → `OPENAI_API_KEY`\n3. **Env file** - source a dotenv-style file if present. Try these paths in\n order until one exists:\n - `$VISION_ENV_FILE` (explicit override, if set)\n - `~/.env_vars`\n - `/root/.env_vars`\n\n Inside the file, check `VISION_API_KEY` first, then the provider-specific\n var for the current provider.\n4. If none of the above yields a non-empty key:\n - Do NOT make the API request.\n - Report to the user which provider was attempted and which env vars were checked.\n\n## Concrete resolution command\n\nThis logic is implemented in `scripts/resolve-config.sh`.

Key resolution\norder:\n\n1. **Dotenv pre-parse** - before applying provider defaults, read\n `VISION_PROVIDER`, `VISION_BASE_URL`, `VISION_MODEL` from dotenv files\n (only if not already set as env vars). This lets users configure the\n provider in `~/.env_vars` without exporting it.\n2. **Provider defaults** - apply `:=` defaults for `VISION_BASE_URL` and\n `VISION_MODEL` based on `VISION_PROVIDER`.\n3. **API key** - resolve in order: `VISION_API_KEY` env var →\n provider-specific env var (`ARK_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_API_KEY`) → dotenv\n files (safe grep parse, no sourcing).\n\n```bash\n: \"${VISION_PROVIDER:=ark}\"\n: \"${VISION_ENV_FILE:=}\"\n\n# Provider defaults\ncase \"$VISION_PROVIDER\" in\n ark) KEY_ENV=\"ARK_API_KEY\" ;;\n openai) KEY_ENV=\"OPENAI_API_KEY\" ;;\n *) echo \"ERROR: invalid VISION_PROVIDER\"; exit 1 ;;\nesac\n\n# 1.
