Describe Image

Analyze images using Vision AI and generate detailed text descriptions in Russian.

Quick Start

# Single image
python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /path/to/image.png

# Folder with images
python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /path/to/folder

Parameters

ParameterDefaultDescription
-i, --inputrequiredImage file or folder path
-c, --context""(optional) Context for better accuracy (e.g., "Sales dashboard Q4")
--page1(optional) Page number for folder processing
--page-size50(optional) Images per page (max 100)
--quietfalse(optional) Suppress per-image logging in single-file mode

Supported Image Types

  • Charts and graphs (bar, line, pie, radar, scatter)
  • Tables and spreadsheets
  • UI screenshots
  • Flowcharts and process diagrams
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Document photos and scans

Examples

Single image:

python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /home/assistant/document/images/img_001.jpg

With context for better accuracy:

python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i dashboard.png \
    -c "Quarterly sales report showing EMEA region performance"

Folder with images (batch processing):

# Process first 50 images
python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /home/assistant/assessment/images/

# Process images 51-100 (page 2)
python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /home/assistant/assessment/images/ --page 2

# Process with custom page size
python /mnt/skills/public/describe-image/scripts/describe.py \
    -i /home/assistant/assessment/images/ --page-size 100

Output

Single image: Returns structured description to stdout.

Folder: Creates manifest-N.md file in the folder. Use view to read it.

Console output:

Processed 50/150 images
Created: /home/assistant/assessment/images/manifest-1.md
Remaining pages: 2 (use --page 2, --page 3)

Use: view /home/assistant/assessment/images/manifest-1.md

After running the command, use the view tool to read the manifest file.

Manifest format (LLM-friendly XML):

<images folder="/home/assistant/assessment/images" page="1" total_pages="3">

<image path="img_001.jpg">
Horizontal bar chart showing deviations from the average score...
