Prompt PreviewInstall & Setup
Install the skill "Camera Capture" (dddjj0/camera-capture) from ClawHub.
Skill page: https://clawhub.ai/dddjj0/camera-capture
Keep the work scoped to this skill only.
After install, inspect the skill metadata and help me finish setup.
Required binaries: python3
Use only the metadata you can verify from ClawHub; do not invent missing requirements.
Ask before making any broader environment changes.

✓
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included scripts and declared requirements: python3 + OpenCV. The scripts implement list, capture, and preview and only require local camera access and a local captures directory.
✓
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the provided Python scripts to list, preview, or capture photos; instructions reference only the captures directory and the image tool for local analysis. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, environment variables, or to contact external endpoints.
✓
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only). Dependencies are limited to opencv-python (pip), and requirements.txt reflects that. There are no external download URLs or archive extracts in the skill.
ℹ
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It writes captured images to ~/.openclaw/workspace/captures/ (created if missing), which is reasonable for this purpose but is sensitive data (local images).
ℹ
Persistence & Privilege
always: false and no system-wide config changes. However, model invocation is allowed (platform default), so an agent with autonomous capability could trigger the camera—this is a privacy consideration rather than a code incoherence.
Assessment
This skill is internally coherent: it runs local Python scripts using OpenCV to access your webcam and saves images under ~/.openclaw/workspace/captures/. It does not request credentials or show any network/exfiltration code in the bundle. Before installing, consider: (1) Install opencv-python in a controlled environment and review the scripts yourself (they are short and readable). (2) Be aware that camera access is privacy-sensitive—only install if you trust the agent and its ability to invoke skills; consider disabling autonomous model invocation if you want explicit prompts before camera use. (3) You can test by running the capture script manually and inspect saved photos; remove the captures directory or uninstall the skill to revoke local artifacts.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

Camera Control Skill

Control the local computer's built-in camera for capturing photos and basic operations.

When to Use

  • User wants to take a photo using the computer camera
  • User asks to capture an image from the webcam
  • User wants to check the camera view
  • Commands like: "拍照", "打开摄像头", "拍张照片", "camera", "webcam", "take a photo"

Tools Required

  • Python 3 with OpenCV (cv2)
  • Standard library only (no extra deps beyond opencv-python)

Usage

Take a Photo

Capture a single frame from the default camera:

python3 skills/camera/scripts/camera.py capture --output "~/.openclaw/workspace/captures/photo_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).jpg"

Or use the wrapper for default location:

python3 skills/camera/scripts/capture.py

This saves to ~/.openclaw/workspace/captures/ with timestamp.

List Available Cameras

python3 skills/camera/scripts/camera.py list

Test Camera (preview window, auto-close after 3 seconds)

python3 skills/camera/scripts/camera.py preview --duration 3

Output

  • Photo path is printed to stdout
  • Use this path with the image tool to analyze the captured photo
  • Photos are saved to captures/ directory by default

Examples

User: "拍张照片" Action: Run capture script, then use image tool to show/analyze the photo.

User: "看看摄像头画面" Action: Run preview script for 3 seconds to verify camera works.

Notes

  • Default camera index is 0 (built-in webcam)
  • If you have multiple cameras, use --camera 1, --camera 2, etc.
  • On Windows, the script auto-detects and works with DirectShow backend
  • Captures directory is auto-created if it doesn't exist
