image-well

image-well is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Ibook000/ibook-skill. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,047 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for searching and downloading images from 12 image collections and services. It can filter by license, use search presets, cache results, download metadata, and show results as JSON or an HTML preview.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find images for projects, download selected results in bulk, preview searches in a browser, or pipe JSON results into other tools. Sources include Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, NASA, museums, and other listed services.
Why use it?
It avoids searching each image source separately and shows which sources work without API keys. License filtering and metadata help keep track of where downloaded images came from.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "sunset" --format download --output ./images/.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-well 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/_well_utils.py, scripts/sources/__init__.py, scripts/sources/base.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Well

Search and download images from 12 sources through a single CLI. Four sources work with zero API keys (Openverse, Wikimedia, Met Museum, NASA). Additional sources activate when keys are set.

Quick Start

# Search across all no-key sources
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "ancient Minoan fresco"

# Use a preset for domain-specific searches
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "F-35 fighter jet" --preset military

# Download results with metadata sidecars
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "sunset" --format download --output ./images/

# Check which sources are available
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py sources

# Visual HTML preview — opens in browser, no context pollution
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "bronze statue" --format html

# Output as JSON for piping
uv run ~/.claude/skills/image-well/scripts/well.py search "cat" --format json

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.
