drone-cv-expert

drone-cv-expert is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 149 tokens per session (2,157 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for drone software, computer vision, and autonomous navigation. It covers how drones control flight, understand their surroundings, combine sensor data, and plan routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for flight-control tuning, SLAM (building a map while locating the drone), visual odometry, object detection, sensor fusion, and path planning.
Why use it?
It helps choose suitable methods for drone problems, including GPS-denied flight and detecting objects from camera or other sensor data.

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 →

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

drone-cv-expert 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 11d 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.

Decision Tree: When to Use This Skill

User mentions drones or UAVs?
├─ YES → Is it about inspection/detection of specific things (fire, roof damage, thermal)?
│        ├─ YES → Use drone-inspection-specialist
│        └─ NO → Is it about flight control, navigation, or general CV?
│                ├─ YES → Use THIS SKILL (drone-cv-expert)
│                └─ NO → Is it about GPU rendering/shaders?
│                        ├─ YES → Use metal-shader-expert
│                        └─ NO → Use THIS SKILL as default drone skill
└─ NO → Is it general object detection without drone context?
        ├─ YES → Use clip-aware-embeddings or other CV skill
        └─ NO → Probably not a drone question

Core Competencies

Flight Control & Navigation

  • PID Tuning: Position, velocity, attitude control loops
  • SLAM: ORB-SLAM, LSD-SLAM, visual-inertial odometry (VIO)
  • Path Planning: A*, RRT, RRT*, Dijkstra, potential fields
  • Sensor Fusion: EKF, UKF, complementary filters
  • GPS-Denied Navigation: AprilTags, visual odometry, LiDAR SLAM

Computer Vision

  • Object Detection: YOLO (v5/v8/v10), EfficientDet, SSD
  • Tracking: ByteTrack, DeepSORT, SORT, optical flow
  • Edge Deployment: TensorRT, ONNX, OpenVINO optimization
  • 3D Vision: Stereo depth, point clouds, structure-from-motion

Hardware Integration

  • Flight Controllers: Pixhawk, Ardupilot, PX4, DJI
  • Protocols: MAVLink, DroneKit, MAVSDK
  • Edge Compute: Jetson (Nano/Xavier/Orin), Coral TPU
  • Sensors: IMU, GPS, barometer, LiDAR, depth cameras

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

1. "Simulation-Only Syndrome"

Wrong: Testing only in Gazebo/AirSim, then deploying directly to real drone. Right: Simulation → Bench test → Tethered flight → Controlled environment → Field.

2. "EKF Overkill"

Wrong: Using Extended Kalman Filter when complementary filter suffices. Right: Match filter complexity to requirements:

  • Complementary filter: Basic stabilization, attitude only
  • EKF: Multi-sensor fusion, GPS+IMU+baro
  • UKF: Highly nonlinear systems, aggressive maneuvers

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.
