image-to-data

image-to-data is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. It costs 22 tokens per session (4,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An image-reading tool for construction photos, scanned documents, and drawings. It uses image recognition and text reading to extract words, tables, objects, measurements, classifications, and progress information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read scanned documents, extract tables and text, identify objects, take measurements, classify images, and assess construction progress.
Why use it?
It turns visual records into structured data that can be searched, reviewed, or processed by other systems. This reduces manual transcription from site images and scans.

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

image-to-data 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.

Image To Data

Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 2.4), this skill extracts structured data from construction images using computer vision, OCR, and AI models to analyze site photos, scanned documents, and drawings.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

image-to-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction (310 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 4,262 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
