vision-analysis

vision-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from MiniMax-AI/skills. It costs 250 tokens per session (1,374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An image-analysis guide that uses a MiniMax vision service to inspect images and extract information from them. MiniMax is an external AI service that requires its own account key and setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe or examine image files and to obtain setup instructions for MiniMax in supported coding environments.
Why use it?
It explains how to analyze images and what to configure when the required MiniMax service is not already connected.

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-analysis 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 10d 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 Analysis

Analyze images using the MiniMax MiniMax_understand_image MCP tool available in the MiniMax Token Plan.

Prerequisites

  • MiniMax Token Plan subscription with valid MINIMAX_API_KEY
  • MiniMax MCP configured (MiniMax_understand_image tool available)

If MCP tool is not configured

Step 1: The agent should fetch setup instructions from: https://platform.minimaxi.com/docs/token-plan/mcp-guide

Step 2: Detect the user's environment (OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and output the exact commands needed. Common examples:

OpenCode — add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or package.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["uvx", "minimax-coding-plan-mcp", "-y"],
      "environment": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "YOUR_TOKEN_PLAN_KEY",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.com"
      },
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add -s user MiniMax --env MINIMAX_API_KEY=your-key --env MINIMAX_API_HOST=https://api.minimaxi.com -- uvx minimax-coding-plan-mcp -y

Cursor — add to MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["minimax-coding-plan-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "your-key",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: After configuration, tell the user to restart their app and verify with /mcp.

Important: If the user does not have a MiniMax Token Plan subscription, inform them that the understand_image tool requires one — it cannot be used with free or other tier API keys.

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.
