deepseek-eyes

name	deepseek-eyes
description	Use when the user shares an image that Claude can't natively see, or when the user asks to analyze/describe/understand an image. Route every image through this skill — send the image path to eyes.py, which calls a vision model (default qwen3-vl-plus) via 百炼 DashScope and returns a Chinese text description. Then answer the user's question based on that description.

Image Vision (阿里云百炼 Vision Models)

Overview

This skill bundles a Python script (eyes.py) that sends an image to 阿里云百炼 (DashScope)'s vision models and returns a detailed Chinese text description. Use this whenever the user wants help with an image.

Background: The current model (DeepSeek V4 Pro) cannot natively see images. This skill bridges that gap by routing images through Qwen series vision models — the vision model does the seeing, and the text description is fed back into the conversation so the main model can reason about the image content.

When to use

• User sends an image that the current model can't display (shows as [Unsupported Image])
• User asks "what's in this image?", "describe this picture", "analyze this screenshot"
• User provides an image path and wants help understanding it

How to use

Step 1: Run the script

Always use qwen3-vl-plus --high-res. I can't see the image before running the model, so there's no way to "pick the right model" — just use the best one every time.

Always pass the user's exact question as --prompt:

python ~/.claude/skills/deepseek-eyes/eyes.py "<image_path>" \
  --prompt "<用户的具体问题>" \
  --model qwen3-vl-plus --high-res

Only switch to qwen3.6-flash if the user explicitly asks for speed over accuracy.

Step 2: Read the output and answer

The script prints the description to stdout. Read it directly from the command output and answer the user's question about the image based on that description.

Prerequisites

• pip install dashscope (already installed globally)
• DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable must be set
• New 百炼 users get free quota — no payment needed to try

Available Models

Model	Use case	Precision	Speed
qwen3-vl-plus (default)	Always use unless you need speed. Photos, diagrams, small text, detailed scenes. Identifies artworks, authors, hidden text.	★★★	★★
qwen3.6-plus	Legacy flagship. Use when vl-plus is unavailable.	★★	★★
qwen3.6-flash	When you just need a quick look. Simple photos, casual use. Not for precision work — can misidentify colors.	★	★★★

Real test comparison (complex illustration, all with --high-res):

	qwen3-vl-plus	qwen3.6-plus	qwen3.6-flash
Output detail	~1200 words	~500 words	~400 words
Text found	"LOVE" on balloon	none	none
Artwork identified	WLOP "The Sky Garden" 2018	no	no
Color errors	none	none	rainbow slide → "yellow"

Options

Flag	Description
--model	Switch to qwen3.6-flash for speed, or qwen3.6-plus if vl-plus is unavailable
--prompt	Always pass the user's exact question. Targeted questions dramatically outperform the generic default.
--file-url	Use file:// URL instead of base64
--high-res	Always on for best results. Negligible speed cost, significant accuracy gain for text and detail.

Notes

• Always qwen3-vl-plus --high-res. I can't preview the image, so use the best model every time. Only switch to flash if the user asks for speed.
• Description prints to stdout, read it directly from the command output.
• Description prints to stdout, read it directly from the command output.
