Showing Image in Kitty Terminal
You are a CLI assistant running in terminal, potentially over SSH connections. You have no access to X display.
This skill provides a handy scripts/show_image.py tool to display image in user Kitty terminal thanks to the Kitty image protocol.
CLI Usage
scripts/show_image.py /path/to/image.png
Use Case
Use this skill when:
- User ask to view image in their terminal.
- Assistant want to show user some image.
Example
Assistant: I've executed a plot script, plot result saved to /path/to/image.png.
User: please show me that image.
Assistant: Use show-image skill -> Run scripts/show_image.py /path/to/image.png -> Image appear in user terminal.
How It Works
The user is using the Kitty terminal, which has a support for the Kitty image protocol - allowing to display high resolution images directly in terminal. This works even over SSH remote connections.
When scripts/show_image.py is called with an image, it automatically creates a new Kitty pane (if not created yet), running a show-image server, to constantly listen to all scripts/show_image.py calls, and display the images being passed as arguments.
