Instructions
Search the web for visual information, download and analyze relevant images, and synthesize findings.
Usage
code
/imagesearch <query> /imagesearch majormud color system /imagesearch "retro BBS door game UI design" /imagesearch what font does discord use
Workflow
- •
WebSearch for the query + relevant visual terms (add "screenshot", "UI", "design", "example" etc. as appropriate)
- •
WebFetch promising results to extract:
- •Text information about the topic
- •Image URLs from markdown
tags
- •
Download images to
/tmp/imagesearch-$$using curl:bashcurl -sL "https://example.com/image.png" -o /tmp/imagesearch-$$/image-001.png
- •
Read the downloaded images to analyze them visually
- •
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
code
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
