VLM Image Helper

Treat this skill as a visual aid for the model, not as a general image editor.

Use scripts/image_helper.py to create a clearer intermediate image, then re-run analysis on that result.

Core Workflow

1. Start from the original image path, a raw base64 string, or a data URI.
2. Apply the smallest transformation that is likely to remove the ambiguity.
3. Prefer semantic crop presets over manual coordinates unless the exact box is already known.
4. Return the processed image as a file or base64, then re-read that result.
5. If the image is still unclear, iterate once with a tighter crop or stronger zoom instead of stacking many edits at once.
