amazon-rekognition

amazon-rekognition is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (6,403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Amazon Rekognition, an AWS service that examines existing images and videos and returns information such as objects, text, scenes, and possible policy violations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for tagging media, reading text from images, screening user uploads, analyzing stored video, and making media libraries searchable.
Why use it?
It removes the need to build basic image and video analysis yourself, while keeping the results separate from human review and consent decisions.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high YARA Match · line 16
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

amazon-rekognition 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 9d 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.

Amazon Rekognition for Production Image and Video Understanding

Amazon Rekognition is an AWS computer-vision service for analyzing existing images and videos. Use it to extract metadata, screen user-generated content, build searchable media libraries, support media operations, or add narrowly governed identity-verification steps. Do not use this skill for generating images, editing pixels, creating synthetic media, or judging whether a human reference is ethically usable for generation; those are separate generation and reference-analysis tasks.

This skill treats Rekognition as an analysis system that returns probabilistic metadata. It is not a replacement for editorial review, legal review, consent management, or a human moderation policy.

Evidence Legend

  • Documented fact: Stated in AWS documentation or AWS-owned service pages. Consequential facts include source links and volatile facts include a verification date.
  • Production heuristic: Operational guidance inferred from documented behavior and common production requirements; validate against the application, jurisdiction, and risk tolerance.
  • Empirical observation: A result from a reproducible test. This skill does not include first-party experiments; when you test, record dataset, date, region, API version/model version, thresholds, and confusion matrix.

Activation Boundaries

Use Rekognition when the user asks for:

  • Image labels, objects, scenes, concepts, celebrities, image properties, or bounding boxes.
  • OCR in images or stored video, especially signs, packaging, screenshots, thumbnails, or metadata extraction.
  • Moderation or brand-safety screening for images, stored video, or UGC workflows.
  • Custom object, logo, scene, or concept detection with Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels.
  • Custom moderation adapters for domain-specific moderation performance.
  • Stored-video analysis: labels, moderation, text, celebrities, faces, people tracking, face search, or segment detection.
  • Searchable media libraries from Rekognition metadata stored in a search index or database.
  • AWS-native async pipelines using S3, IAM, SNS, SQS, Lambda, Kinesis, CloudTrail, and cost controls.
  • Face liveness or face search only when the use case is explicit identity verification, access control, fraud prevention, or user-consented account recovery.

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.
