Visual Research & Image Analysis

0•

Conducts deep visual research by searching the web, extracting images, and analyzing them for UI patterns, colors, and typography.

The Imagesearch skill empowers Claude to perform comprehensive visual investigations by scouring the web for relevant imagery, downloading visual assets to a local environment, and performing detailed analysis on UI components, color systems, and layout structures. It bridges the gap between text-based searching and visual design, allowing developers to extract actionable insights from screenshots, diagrams, and documentation to inform their frontend implementation and design decisions.

imagesearch
Visual research - search the web, find images, analyze them visually

Instructions

Search the web for visual information, download and analyze relevant images, and synthesize findings.

Usage

/imagesearch <query>
/imagesearch majormud color system
/imagesearch "retro BBS door game UI design"
/imagesearch what font does discord use

Workflow

  1. WebSearch for the query + relevant visual terms (add "screenshot", "UI", "design", "example" etc. as appropriate)

  2. WebFetch promising results to extract:

    • Text information about the topic
    • Image URLs from markdown ![alt](url) tags
  3. Download images to /tmp/imagesearch-$$ using curl:

    curl -sL "https://example.com/image.png" -o /tmp/imagesearch-$$/image-001.png
  4. Read the downloaded images to analyze them visually

  5. Synthesize findings into actionable information:

    • What you learned from text sources
    • What you observed in the images
    • Implementation recommendations if requested

Tips

  • Add visual search terms to queries: "screenshot", "example", "UI", "design", "color palette"
  • Prioritize images from documentation, wikis, and official sources
  • Skip tiny images (icons, avatars) - look for screenshots and diagrams
  • If a site blocks fetching, try alternative sources
  • Clean up temp files when done: rm -rf /tmp/imagesearch-$$/

Image Analysis Focus

When analyzing images, pay attention to:

  • Color palettes and hex values
  • Typography and font choices
  • Layout and spacing patterns
  • UI component styles
  • Visual hierarchy
  • Any text visible in screenshots

Example Session

User: /imagesearch majormud color system

Claude:
1. Searches "majormud color system screenshot ANSI"
2. Fetches wiki pages, finds image URLs
3. Downloads screenshots to /tmp
4. Analyzes the visual style:
   - ANSI 16-color palette
   - Cyan for system messages
   - Yellow for item names
   - Red for combat/damage
   - etc.
5. Provides implementation recommendations

Limitations

  • Some sites block WebFetch (403 errors) - try alternative sources
  • Very large images may take time to download
  • Can only analyze static images, not videos/animations
  • Google Images directly is not accessible (anti-bot) - we find images through regular page content
