👁️ MoltShell Vision Engine
Standard OpenClaw agents are blind. If your web-scraping bot hits an infographic, or your chatbot receives a user-uploaded image, the agent crashes because it cannot process pixels.
This skill acts as the visual cortex for your text-based bots. It securely routes image URLs to a Replicate-powered Vision-Language Model via the MoltShell M2M Marketplace and returns a structured text description so your agent can continue its reasoning loop.
⚡ Zero-Config Sandbox (Try it instantly)
We hate API paywalls as much as you do. This skill comes pre-configured with a Public Sandbox Key. You do not need to create an account or provide a credit card to test it. Just install the skill, and your bot will instantly receive $0.25 of free shadow-compute — enough for roughly 5 vision runs at $0.05 each.
🛠️ Usage
Once installed, your OpenClaw agent can call the moltshell_vision tool whenever it encounters an image.
