camera-capture-depth-workflow

camera-capture-depth-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,428 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building and troubleshooting Apple camera features, including photo capture, depth sensing, device controls, and synchronized camera output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for camera discovery, focus and exposure controls, RAW photos, Live Photos, depth and disparity data, calibration, portrait effects, and capture interruptions.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose the right camera settings and diagnose device-specific capture problems without mixing camera work with unrelated video or image-analysis code.

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

camera-capture-depth-workflow 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 1mo 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.

Camera Capture and Depth Workflow

Purpose

Guide AVFoundation camera, photo, depth, and computational-capture work while keeping general session topology, media pipelines, sample timing, audio policy, Vision analysis, and ARKit spatial sensing with their owning workflows.

When To Use

  • Use for camera discovery, formats, controls, rotation, photo features, depth, calibration, synchronized outputs, mattes, pressure, and device-specific capture repair.
  • Recommend avfoundation-media-pipeline-workflow when general capture-session, output queue, player, asset, reader, writer, export, or back-pressure ownership is primary.
  • Recommend vision-image-analysis-workflow when capture is working and image interpretation is the actual task.

Single-Path Workflow

  1. Classify the request:
    • device discovery or selection
    • format, frame rate, MultiCam, or constituent device
    • focus, exposure, white balance, zoom, torch, stabilization, or low light
    • rotation, orientation, or mirroring
    • processed, RAW, bracketed, Live Photo, responsive, or deferred photo capture
    • depth, disparity, calibration, or synchronized output
    • portrait-effects, semantic, spatial, or cinematic capture
    • authorization, interruption, pressure, dropped data, or runtime repair
  2. Apply the Apple docs gate:
    • read current AVFoundation documentation for every requested feature and platform
    • state the documented behavior relied on
    • apply ../../shared/references/apple-camera-capability-contract.md
    • apply ../../shared/references/apple-media-type-ownership.md
  3. Discover before configuration:
    • use AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession, available devices, virtual-device constituents, AVCaptureDevice.Format, supported frame-rate ranges, depth formats, session support, output support, and connection support
    • never infer capability from a marketing device name, lens count, or OS version alone
  4. Configure through one owner:
    • keep session graph mutation on the serial session owner defined by avfoundation-media-pipeline-workflow
    • balance lockForConfiguration() and unlockForConfiguration() and mutate only supported device properties
    • configure output, settings, connection, rotation, mirroring, and delegate lifecycle explicitly
  5. Preserve typed capture data:
    • keep AVCapturePhoto, AVDepthData, AVCameraCalibrationData, AVPortraitEffectsMatte, AVSemanticSegmentationMatte, CMSampleBuffer, synchronized data, and dropped-data reasons inspectable
    • record timestamps, dimensions, orientation, pixel/depth formats, calibration, filtering, accuracy, and source identity
  6. Validate honestly:
    • distinguish documented support, discovered runtime support, simulator limitations, and physically verified behavior
    • return the capability evidence, configuration, output lifecycle, pressure/error policy, diagnostics, and device validation plan

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.
