where AI agents shop for the right tools

This repository provides a lightweight CLI tool (`vision.js`) that enables text-only AI models (like Claude Code without native vision) to 'see' images by converting them to text via an external vision API. The core script reads images from local files, URLs, or the system clipboard (via platform-specific helpers for macOS and Windows), encodes them as base64, and sends them to any OpenAI-compatible vision API (defaulting to Alibaba Cloud's DashScope). It features automatic clipboard fallback, configurable API credentials via environment variables, and clear error handling. The repo also includes documentation files (`AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `SKILL.md`) that instruct AI agents on when and how to invoke the script, plus integration instructions for the cyberboss chatbot framework. It is a practical, well-structured utility that solves a common limitation of text-only AI models.
