What is group-by-camera?

A command for grouping photos by the camera make and model recorded in their EXIF metadata. EXIF is information stored inside an image file, such as the camera, lens, and capture details.

Use it to organise a photo folder by camera, create linked folders, or produce a CSV list showing each image’s camera and group.

It replaces manual sorting and keeps photos with missing or incomplete camera information in separate folders. It shows the proposed groups before files are moved or linked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00428
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00171
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00086

Security

Grade A, and why

group-by-camera scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Group Images by Camera

Cluster images by EXIF camera Make + Model.

Task

Ask which folder to operate on — default is the current working directory. Confirm recursion; default flat.
Read camera metadata for each image:
```
exiftool -s -s -s -Make -Model -LensModel "image.jpg"
```
Build a bucket label of the form {Make}_{Model} with spaces and slashes replaced by hyphens (e.g. NIKON-CORPORATION_NIKON-D850, Apple_iPhone-15-Pro, SONY_ILCE-7M3).
Bucket files:
- {Make}_{Model}/ — one folder per unique (Make, Model) pair
- no-exif/ — images with no readable camera metadata (screenshots, scrubbed photos, generated art)
- unknown/ — EXIF present but Make or Model missing
Preview before acting — table of bucket label → count, plus a sample filename per bucket. Wait for user confirmation. Offer to merge near-duplicate bucket names (common: NIKON CORPORATION vs NIKON).
Prefer symlinks or CSV manifest over physical moves:
- Option A: symlinked subfolders
- Option B: metadata/camera-buckets.csv with filename,make,model,bucket
- Option C: physical move on explicit confirmation
Log to notes/group-by-camera-{timestamp}.md with bucket counts and the no-EXIF / unknown tallies.

Notes

Lens model is interesting but produces fragmented buckets — include it in the CSV manifest but not in the folder label.
Phone photos often have consistent Make/Model but many firmware variants; don't try to split on firmware.
If a user's library is dominated by no-exif/, that usually means it was previously scrubbed — note this in the log.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
