quality-settings

quality-settings is a skill for Claude Code from jenkinsm13/metashape-mcp. It costs 33 tokens per session (435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing processing settings in Metashape, a program that builds 3D models from photographs, based on image count, computer memory, and priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
It recommends values for image matching, depth maps, meshes, and related steps, including when to use the computer's processor or graphics card.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing settings that could make processing unnecessarily slow or reduce model quality.

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

quality-settings 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Optimize Quality Settings

Recommend processing parameters tuned to the user's dataset and hardware.

Information Needed

Ask the user (or read from the project):

  • Photo count: Number of images in the dataset
  • Available RAM: System memory in GB
  • Priority: Quality vs speed

Guidelines by Dataset Size

Setting <100 photos 100–500 500–2000 2000+
Match downscale 1 (High) 1 (High) 2 (Medium) 2–4
Keypoint limit 60000 40000 40000 40000
Depth map quality 2 (High) 4 (Medium) 4 (Medium) 8 (Low)
Depth filter mild mild moderate moderate
Face count high high medium medium/custom

RAM Considerations

  • <16 GB: Use downscale 4+ for depth maps, medium face count
  • 16–32 GB: Use downscale 2–4, high face count up to ~500 photos
  • 32–64 GB: Use downscale 1–2, high face count up to ~1000 photos
  • 64+ GB: Can use ultra quality for smaller datasets

GPU/CPU Rule

  • set_gpu_config(cpu_enable=True) — BEFORE alignment (match_photos, align_cameras)
  • set_gpu_config(cpu_enable=False) — BEFORE everything else (depth maps, meshing, texturing, DEM, ortho)

CPU slows GPU operations. It is ONLY beneficial for alignment.

Output

Read the chunk info, then provide specific parameter values for each processing step as ready-to-use tool calls.

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.

quality-settings is a skill published in the GitHub repository jenkinsm13/metashape-mcp (34 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 435 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
