image-annotate

image-annotate is a skill for Claude Code from krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for adding arrows, boxes, labels, highlights, blur, or solid redaction to an existing image. It saves the marked-up version separately so the original remains available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Annotating screenshots, pointing out interface areas, numbering steps, highlighting details, or hiding sensitive information.
Why use it?
It removes the need to use a separate image editor for screenshots, tutorials, privacy edits, and visual explanations.

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-annotate 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/annotate.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 — 302 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Annotate

Mark up an existing image with shapes, text, numbered steps, blur, or solid-color redaction. It is a single CLI: one-off flags for simple marks, a JSON spec file for compositions. The output is a flat raster image with every mark burned in, and the original is never modified in place. The output filename always reflects what was done. Pass --name PURPOSE to label the artifact by intent, or omit the output path and let the script derive a descriptive name from the operations applied.

Core Principles

Principle Meaning
Never modify in place Always write to a new output file. Annotation is destructive, so the user must keep the original to redo or refine later.
Output names describe intent Either pass --name some-purpose to label the artifact, or omit the output argument and the script derives a name from the ops applied (e.g. screenshot-rect-arrow-text.png). Collisions get a -2, -3 suffix, so a repeated run never overwrites an earlier result.
Blur is not redaction Pixelation and blur can be reversed for text. For passwords, API keys, SSNs, payment numbers, and other security-critical strings, use solid-color redaction. Blur is acceptable only for casual privacy (faces in marketing shots, peripheral background detail). See references/redaction-safety.md.
Marks must read on any background Use stroke and fill colors that contrast with the surrounding pixels, or add a contrasting outline to text. Yellow on a yellow page is invisible. The default style stacks a thick colored stroke over the underlying pixels and does not rely on transparency alone.
Coordinate origin is top-left All (x, y) coordinates start from the top-left corner of the image. Y increases downward. Browser DevTools and most screenshot tools use the same convention.
One operation, one purpose A single annotation does one thing. To layer marks, repeat flags or use a JSON spec. Do not overload one operation.
Burn into a flat image The output is a single-layer PNG or JPEG. There are no editable layers and no SVG path for re-editing. To iterate, re-run the script with a new spec.

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.
