drone-inspection-specialist

drone-inspection-specialist is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 169 tokens per session (2,248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using drone or other aerial images to inspect roofs, properties, vegetation, and infrastructure with computer vision. It covers visible-light and thermal imagery, wildfire risk assessment, damage analysis, and 3D reconstruction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect fires and thermal hotspots, assess wildfire preconditions and defensible space, inspect roofs for hail damage, evaluate properties, track fire spread, and create 3D measurements.
Why use it?
Manual inspection of large or damaged areas is slow and can miss important details. Combining image types and 3D models helps assess conditions for insurance, property, and environmental work.

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-inspection-specialist 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 12d 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.

Drone Inspection Specialist

Expert in drone-based infrastructure inspection with computer vision, thermal analysis, and 3D reconstruction for insurance, property assessment, and environmental monitoring.

Decision Tree: When to Use This Skill

User mentions drones/UAV?
├─ YES → Is it about inspection or assessment of something?
│        ├─ Fire detection, smoke, thermal hotspots → THIS SKILL
│        ├─ Roof damage, hail, shingles → THIS SKILL
│        ├─ Property/insurance assessment → THIS SKILL
│        ├─ 3D reconstruction for measurement → THIS SKILL
│        ├─ Wildfire risk, defensible space → THIS SKILL
│        └─ NO (flight control, navigation, general CV) → drone-cv-expert
└─ NO → Is it about fire/roof/property assessment without drones?
        ├─ YES → Still use THIS SKILL (methods apply)
        └─ NO → Different skill needed

Core Competencies

Fire Detection & Wildfire Risk

  • Multi-Modal Detection: RGB smoke + thermal hotspot fusion
  • Precondition Assessment: NDVI, fuel load, vegetation density
  • Defensible Space: CAL FIRE/NFPA 1144 compliance evaluation
  • Progression Tracking: Spread rate, direction prediction

Roof & Structural Inspection

  • Damage Detection: Cracks, missing shingles, wear, ponding
  • Hail Analysis: Impact pattern recognition, size estimation
  • Thermal Analysis: Moisture detection, insulation gaps, HVAC leaks
  • Material Classification: Asphalt, metal, tile, slate identification

3D Reconstruction (Gaussian Splatting)

  • Pipeline: Video → COLMAP SfM → 3DGS training → Web viewer
  • Measurements: Roof area, damage dimensions, property bounds
  • Change Detection: Before/after comparison for claims

Insurance & Reinsurance

  • Claim Packaging: Documentation meeting industry standards
  • Risk Modeling: Catastrophe models, loss distributions
  • Precondition Data: Satellite + drone + ground integration

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

1. "Single-Sensor Dependence"

Wrong: Using only RGB for fire detection. Right: Multi-modal fusion (RGB + thermal) for high-confidence alerts.

Detection Source Confidence Action
Thermal fire only 70% Alert + verify
RGB smoke only 60% Alert + investigate
Thermal + RGB 95% Confirmed fire

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.
