alt-text

Input

The target local image path is provided as $0 or as a pasted image attachment.

If $0 is missing, ask the user for the local image path and stop.

Instructions

When this skill is invoked, inspect the image directly and write alt text immediately.

  • Describe what is visually present and important.
  • Do not say picture of, image of, screenshot of, or diagram of.
  • Describe what the image shows, not the file type or medium.
  • Keep the alt text concise and focused on the essential content.
  • Do not add extraneous details, speculation, backstory, or interpretation that is not clearly visible.
  • If visible text is important to understanding the image, include the key text briefly.

Output

Return only the alt text unless the user asks for something else.
