vision-image-analysis-workflow

vision-image-analysis-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,198 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for using Apple Vision to understand images and video, such as finding text, barcodes, faces, shapes, people, poses, or tracked objects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or repair built-in image analysis, including text recognition, barcode scanning, document detection, object tracking, pose detection, and image segmentation.
Why use it?
It helps developers select the appropriate Vision request and handle observations, coordinates, revisions, and correctness issues across still images and live video.

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

vision-image-analysis-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.

Vision Image Analysis Workflow

Purpose

Guide Apple-provided image and video analysis while keeping Vision request ownership separate from image processing, custom Core ML model execution, capture, and biometric authentication.

When To Use

  • Use for built-in Vision detection, recognition, segmentation, tracking, pose, feature-print, request, observation, coordinate, and live-frame problems.
  • Recommend vision-coreml-recognition-workflow when a custom Core ML model supplies classification, detection, or segmentation.
  • Recommend core-image-processing-workflow when the primary job changes pixels rather than interpreting them.

Single-Path Workflow

  1. Classify the analysis:
    • text or document
    • barcode or machine-readable code
    • face rectangle or landmark
    • shape, contour, horizon, rectangle, saliency, or trajectory
    • human, hand, or animal pose
    • person, foreground, or instance segmentation
    • object tracking or sequence analysis
    • feature prints or similarity
    • coordinate, revision, performance, or correctness repair
  2. Apply the Apple docs gate:
    • read the current Vision documentation for the selected request and platform
    • choose the current Swift request API for new code when it supports the task
    • recognize the original VN* API explicitly when repairing existing code or when the current documented task requires it
    • state the documented behavior relied on
    • apply ../../shared/references/apple-vision-analysis-contract.md
  3. Define the input contract:
    • source type, dimensions, orientation, color/pixel format, region of interest, and frame identity
    • still-image versus sequence state
    • request revision or current Swift request availability
  4. Execute and interpret:
    • use ImageRequestHandler or the documented current request execution surface for new code
    • use VNImageRequestHandler for independent original-API images and VNSequenceRequestHandler when original-API requests need temporal state
    • keep observation types, normalized locations, confidence, labels, landmarks, and masks typed
    • convert coordinates through the full orientation, crop, region-of-interest, and display transform
  5. Control live work:
    • serialize stateful sequence requests
    • bound in-flight frames, cancel obsolete work where supported, and drop stale frames deliberately
    • publish results with the source frame identity so old observations cannot overwrite newer UI
  6. Return documented behavior, request family, input contract, coordinate transform, lifecycle plan, observations, diagnostics, validation, and handoffs.

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.

vision-image-analysis-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,198 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
