overcast-scene-locate

overcast-scene-locate is a skill for Claude Code from kdr/overcast. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,774 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for finding where a photo or video was taken by checking metadata, visible clues, reverse image searches, and location evidence. EXIF is embedded photo information such as GPS coordinates and capture time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect GPS data, read signs and landmarks, search matching images, and corroborate the final location.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to identify a location when the image itself does not clearly name one.

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

overcast-scene-locate 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-scene-locate

Use this skill when the task is "where was this taken?": geolocate an image or video from what is visible in it. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags. Escalate cheap-before-billed — description and OCR are free; reverse image search bills per result, so run it only on the strongest clues.

Workflow

  1. Check embedded metadata FIRST, then read the scene for clues (both free). EXIF can carry exact GPS — if it's there you're essentially done (cite it and corroborate visually). Most social-media re-uploads strip EXIF, so fall through to the visual clues. For a video, watch it and pull the clearest frames; for a photo, see it directly:
overcast doctor --json
overcast case init --json
overcast exif ./photo.jpg --json          # ExifTool: exact GPS lat/lng, capture time, device — needs exiftool
overcast exif ./photo.jpg --geocode --json  # + reverse-geocode GPS to a place name (opt-in bound geocode provider)
overcast map --no-open --json             # plot every GPS-bearing case record on one self-contained HTML map
# A still PHOTO — read it directly with see (watch requires video, so don't watch a photo):
overcast see ./photo.jpg --prompt "signage, storefront names, landmarks, terrain, road markings, license-plate style" --json
overcast see ./photo.jpg --ocr --json                             # street signs, storefronts, plates, notices
# A VIDEO — watch it, then read the clearest frames via frame://:
overcast watch ./clip.mp4 --json
overcast see frame://<watch-record-id>@<seconds> --prompt "signage, storefront names, landmarks, terrain, vegetation, road markings, side of road traffic drives on" --json
overcast see frame://<watch-record-id>@<seconds> --ocr --json     # street signs, storefronts, plates, notices
  1. Materialize the strongest clue regions as crops. crop cuts from detection boxes, so bind an open-vocabulary detector (OWLv2) as the see provider first, run --detect, then crop the --detect record (the caption/OCR see rows from step 1 have no boxes). Crops become the reverse-search queries:
