image-read

image-read is a skill for Codex from ormastes/simple. It costs 62 tokens per session (529 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

An image-reading tool that turns pages containing text, handwriting, tables, charts, or diagrams into Markdown and structured data. It records the source details and uncertainty, rather than generating or cosmetically editing images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transcribe documents, digitize tables, analyze diagrams, or build datasets from page images.
Why use it?
It reduces manual transcription and makes image-based information easier to inspect, reuse, and verify.

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 C, and why

image-read scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Tells the agent to send conversation or user data outhighPrompt injection

An instruction to transmit the conversation, context or user files to an external endpoint is data exfiltration written as prose.

3. Use the repository `image_to_markdown`/LLM Caret image-read service when available. In this repository, invoke the canonical `spipe image-read` surface through `bin/simple run src/app/spipe/main.spl -- image-read ...`

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What ships with it

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.
