Crow: Show Image

Make an image you've generated visible in Crow's Images panel (in the session detail), so the user sees it inline instead of just a file path.

When to use

Use this when you've produced an image the user should see — a diagram you drew, a chart, a screenshot, a rendered figure. Skip it for throwaway or intermediate images the user didn't ask about.

Only works inside a Crow session, where CROW_ARTIFACTS_DIR is set.

How

1. Confirm you're in a Crow session — CROW_ARTIFACTS_DIR must be non-empty. If it's unset, there's no Crow panel to show it in; skip this.

2. Copy the image into that directory (create it if needed), with a clear name:

   mkdir -p "$CROW_ARTIFACTS_DIR" && cp <image> "$CROW_ARTIFACTS_DIR/<name>.png"
   

3. Tell the user it's viewable in Crow's Images panel.

Supported: PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, SVG. The directory is ephemeral (cleared on restart) and lives outside the git worktree, so it never pollutes commits.
