j-can-see

j-can-see is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PichurChill/j-can-see. It costs 140 tokens per session (4,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using j-can-see, a server that provides tools for understanding and editing images. It covers image descriptions, text reading, exact colours, pixel comparisons, cropping, shape tracing, and removing backgrounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for difficult image-reading tasks, long screenshots, precise colour or position checks, image comparisons, cropping, tracing shapes, or creating transparent icons.
Why use it?
It helps the coding agent choose the right image tool when it cannot reliably inspect an image itself or when exact pixel facts are needed. It also explains when the server should not be used.

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

j-can-see 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.

j-can-see 视觉工具使用指南

本 MCP server 提供 9 个视觉/像素工具,用于主模型无多模态输入能力时的看图任务。 工具会根据任务自动编排,但理解下面的选择逻辑能让你(AI)用得更准。

触发门控:有眼睛就先用眼睛

工具分两类,触发规则不同:

  • 视觉识别类(调上游视觉模型):see_image / locate / inspect / ocr_long —— 你有原生视觉输入(能直接 Read/查看图片)时,默认不要调用这些工具,直接用自己的眼睛。 只有以下情况才用:
    1. 用户明确要求用 j-can-see;
    2. 原生视觉失效:图片读不了/报错、返回内容降质到不可用、同一问题原生看不出答案;
    3. 任务超出原生视觉的可靠范围:如两屏以上长图的逐字 OCR(原生读会被降采样丢字)、 需要可靠坐标而目测明显不可信的场景。
  • 本地像素类(不调视觉模型):colors / image_diff / crop / trace / extract_fg —— 不受上述门控限制:它们是取像素级真值的仪器(精确 hex、逐像素差异%),任何模型的 眼睛都给不出这些值,需要时直接用。

不确定自己是否有原生视觉?先试一次原生读图:成功 → 按上面规则走;报错/无图像能力 → 你就是本 server 的目标用户,放心使用视觉识别类工具。

工具选择决策树

按你要回答的问题选工具:

问题 工具
这张图是什么 / 说了什么? see_image
多张图各自是什么?(逐图独立识别) see_image + each: true
某个东西在哪?(单个目标) locate
所有同类元素在哪?(每类元素) inspect
这张超长截图的文字? ocr_long
把这块裁出来存成文件 crop
这两张图哪里不同? image_diff
这里到底是什么颜色? colors
上下/左右颜色是否一致?渐变哪里断了? colorsprofile / 双 region 对比)
这个图形的矢量形状? trace
把这个图标抠成透明 PNG extract_fg

核心原则:不信任文字描述的像素级事实

视觉模型对颜色、尺寸、坐标的描述是模糊的("浅灰"、"大概在右上")。 凡是要写进代码的像素级事实,用本地工具取真值

  • 颜色 → colors(返回精确 hex + 候选色匹配)
  • 差异 → image_diff(逐像素比较)
  • 矢量 → trace(从像素拟合 SVG)

这些工具本身也有边界,用之前先知道:

  • colors 按 5 位量化分桶聚类,适合 UI 纯色;渐变或照片的主色会被打散成 多个小簇,占比数字只能参考。要精确取某处的色,先用 region 把范围缩到那一块; 比较两处颜色就并行发两次 colors(各带一个 region)比主色 hex; 要看颜色的空间结构(渐变段 / 接缝 / 断层在哪)用 profile: "y" | "x", 它返回均匀段(纯色/渐变)与跳变点的位置和两侧色值。
  • image_diff 返回的是 12×12 网格里差异密度最高的格子,不是精确包围盒 —— 一处跨格线的改动会报成好几块。它用来回答"去哪儿看",不是"改动的确切边界"。
  • trace 只适合扁平高对比图形;照片和复杂渐变出来的 SVG 没有使用价值。
  • 放大不增加信息crop 放大超过原始分辨率的区域时,模型看到的是插值伪影 —— 小尺寸渐变放大后会出现真实的同心圆环带,模型数的"纹理圈数/圆环"可能是在 数伪影,不是原图内容。给模型看的放大 ≤2-3 倍足够;要精确颜色/纹理,用 colors + region 在原图上取(不经过发给模型的 JPEG 编码,色值不受压缩影响)。

核心工作流:粗到细

多步看图任务遵循「先全局,后局部」:

inspect(扫整体布局,拿到所有元素的坐标)
  → locate(锁定你关注的具体目标,拿精确坐标)
    → see_image(用 region 放大看那个目标的细节)

坐标在工具间是通用的(原图像素):locate/inspect 返回的 x1,y1,x2,y2 直接作为 see_image/cropregion 参数传入即可。

j-can-see is a skill published in the GitHub repository PichurChill/j-can-see (0 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 4,354 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
